You misinterpreted the analogy. The Kardashians aren't the parasites in the ants, they are the ants with the parasites in them.

The implication is that the Karashians sit around recieving undue attention and prosperity while providing nothing in return to their sociey.

Regardless of whether you agree with that assessment, it does qualify as critique and not just name calling.

Yeah, I understood the analogy just fine, thanks. Obviously the parent was drawing a parallel between the pampered do nothing ants and the Kardashians.

But critique implies an analysis and some thought, not just a pithy one liner.

Ah, then you needed to word your response differently. Ant parasite != Parasite ant.
