Real answer for me is: anyone, at any time in life, being denied the right to privacy in their own room if they want it, is basically abusive… BUT so is virtually every aspect of being a child…. AND so is virtually every aspect of being anyone who lives in this country and isn’t ridiculously rich…. So since we’re all living under constant abuse by various inescapable systems at all times, the question of whether it’s abusive basically becomes irrelevant and is replaced with “eh, it’s tolerable if you gotta, and for godsakes don’t force families to do things they literally can’t afford, because that just makes everything a hundred times worse”
