Yes, parent accrue more benefits from their children than do non-parents, but their investment is significantly higher than the minor difference in time off that you may see.

Regardless of any direct benefit to me, I am willing to accept parents getting some small benefits that I will not as a childless person as an overall investment in society as a whole.

I don't think anyone here wants to prevent you from helping parents; the question is whether the case for 'societal investment' is clear and convincing enough to justify forcing everyone else to share the burden.
