Sorry that my response was snippy. This is a pet peeve of mine from reddit, and it seems to have carried over to lemmy, where any time someone expresses some form of happiness (especially involving kids/family), someone invariably shows up in the comments to tell them that they dislike it.
This was simply a wholesome post about a guy being hugged by his wife and daughter, saying “wow, that guy must be the richest man in the world”, and your immediate response to it was “Huh, guess I’d rather be poor”.
This same caption could have been placed over a photo of a vet who loves animals, an artist who gets to paint in their dream home studio, or a nature lover looking out into a national park, and if your first thought is to comment under those telling everyone how much you dislike dogs, art, and mountains, it would also be rude.

Forget I said anything actually, I’d rather forget I did this
Seriously don’t sweat it, and please stick around. We’re all human and sometimes put our foot in our mouth, myself included. <3
