Hmmmm
Have parents been gatekeeping "tiredness"?
It's just typical of literally any topic on the internet. I will say that as an actively involved parent of younglings, it is exhausting but in a different way than working an exhausting job. Like, I stayed up multiple days in a row with barely maybe 10-20 minute naps here and there in the Army. Those days were definitely when I was the most "tired." But I was also much younger, so fatigue didn't hit the same as it does 10 years later (late 30s now vs early-to-late 20s back then).
But yeah, people will gatekeep anything. I agree with this person, folks are all different with different (and similar) stressors. What I think is true exhaustion another may not, and vice versa.
I get what your saying, but you'd have to actively accept that there's a community or identity of "tiredness" that parents identify themselves with in order for them to "gatekeep". And I don't think any parent that I've known has ever said anything to that effect.
I think gatekeeping is being used way to loosely here.
Edit: It'd be like someone saying "it only gets worse," in reference to how tired you are, as a joke. I would consider this almost in the exact same line as the statement below, and I wouldn't consider that "gatekeeping" either.

TIL the word "gatekeeping" really triggers people.
