I don't know what kind of job this person has, but this strikes me as the least empathetic statement a person could make. Yes, I have young children, and I learned that I knew nothing about parenting before having kids.

I'm pretty sure we sure be fighting a class war instead

    Yeah same with pets. You have obligations people who don't have can not understand! /S

    Your hobby! don't tell me you are doing it for me or something. Humanity would survive if you would not have reproduced.

    You really out here trying to equate having a family with hobbies like knitting and golf? Wild take bro.

    I mean I'm a parent but I don't expect that to be of any more interest to my coworkers than if I were a civil war reenactor or a golfer. it's not for for me to say that my family carries more weight than their lives. so - yes, we do equate having a family with knitting and golf; we equate them exactly. the knitter is not less important than me.
