The Truth about why parenting is hard -
lmao@"A fly landed near him."
Posted by blackphaseIt happens at least 1-2 times a day.
That just hurt my head.. I got stressed out just looking at those kids over reacting..This is why I don't want children. LOL
Posted by HappyCapperI know, right!!
lmao@"A fly landed near him."
They get so upset over the smallest thing.
Lmao this is hilarious ‚
I know how it is. I've got two little ones. I've had almost all of this happen except maybe the plug and the paint

I love the toddler crying ones. Been there. There is absolutely no reasoning with them.
I remember when I was pregnant the first time, I'd be like "my kids will never act like that".....well, guess what? They did. lol!

How tragic. Straight people live hard lives
Oh come on now, gay couples adopt and raise children, too!
Omg. I guess I behaved well then.
My parents say.. I never used to cry unless I was sick.
My father never gave in too. One severe look from my dad would suffice. If I fell down - my father would just stand there and say "watch how you're walking/where you're stepping!"
..
As much loving and playful he was, my father was very (scarily) severe especially more when I was baby. He didn't put up with nonsense. Strict disciplinarian. I was a well behaved kid inside and out.
You Caps are good at this!

....but worth every minute, even the hardest time
I wouldn't have missed being a parent for the world ~ it made a stronger person of me ~ and taught me how to love with a capital *L*
Our lad is leaving for Uni next year ~ i cannot believe the time has gone so fast ~
Precious years
Oh, yeah, it's definitely worth it.
I just love this marquis
Totally understand and get the humor of the Campbell's soup commercial with the bad weather, school being out and the mom grabbing wine to go with it.
Posted by babygurlSurely you can find the humor in it?
If its so stressful I don't understand why people go back to make more! It's so stressful that you need to complain yet you won't cut your tubes after the first/second or the third??
Why??
Then suck it up and stop bitching.
This is for all parents who willingly put themselves in the shit just to complain after.
It's another level of insanity and psychosis to me.
As a parent myself I just don't understand the mindset behind the bullshit.
Posted by Prince_PiscesI bet you were cute as all get out!Posted by RumiLAccording to my dad, I was a brat LOL! I couldn't have been too bad though, since I was the most spoiled out of me, my brother and my sister.

Awwww, you were!!
Aaaand this is why I don't have any.
My mom worked with babies/toddlers in a daycare for a few years and I saw first hand what it was about.
..then I had more experience with 4-12.
Yeah, no. I don't fuck around with that haha.

Posted by babygurlVenting is one thing. Kids do crazy shit and parents gotta vent. They may have willingly signed up to have them, but it doesn't mean they can't vent. After all, nobody can predict how easy your kid will be when the time comes.

What gets me are the ones who willingly have kids and then go around expecting special treatment, priority treatment, etc. I have a lot of these I work with. They think they're special snowflakes now that they popped out a crotch dropping. Cater to them and their child at all costs! After all, they're a PARENT.
We're not talking just working with people because of differing schedules and the like, we're talking utter entitlement because they now have the "parent" badge. THOSE drive me nuts.
Same with the pregnant princesses I work with. "I'M PREGNANT. I CANT DO ANYTHING ANYMORE." *isn't really showing all that much* It is nobody's problem that you decided (or accidentally) to let a dude splooge inside of you and now you have a sprogling on the way. Stfu or gtfo. You choose.
Venting is fine. Having days where you just need some time is fine. It's the entitlement and special treatment some expect that drives me up a wall.
Oh goodness as someone who is "practicing" I didn't need to see that lol. But seriously I already know what having kids entail which is why I waited before attempting to embark on motherhood. It's important that the parents are "adults" before having children as it's nothing but a disaster when a child has a child and that's not contingent upon age either but maturity which does not automatically come with age.
Well I can't say what the premise of the OP actually is and her intent, however for me who is childless at the moment think it's important for mothers to express how they honestly feel about motherhood. Society likes to pressure women into thinking motherhood is this wonderful and rosy experience and for some it is but that's not the case for everyone, nor should those who feel that way be ashamed for their feelings. I also find it disheartening when other mothers attack the mothers who express their displeasure because no one should be made to feel bad about their feelings. They have a right to their feelings and to express them whether you agree with their premise or not.
On the contrary I do despise women who purposely bring children into treetrunked up situations especially when the motivation behind the pregnancy is to try to force the father to stay with her. Maturity is giving your child the best situation and circumstance possible and not being selfish and only thinking about yourself.
It's no different than going to college and wanting to be a lawyer only to start working as a lawyer and hate it and be miserable. You don't know how something is going to effect you until you actually do it. Some people know themselves well enough to know what they can and cannot handle so they know and accept that parenthood is not something they want to do and there's nothing wrong with that decision. Every woman isn't fascinated and defined by motherhood whether she is a mother or not, nor should a mother feel bad that she doesn't think motherhood/children is a badge of honor. Motherhood doesn't and won't mean the same for every woman but that also doesn't make her any more or less of a mother for not having that over the moon feeling.
True motherhood is a choice however as I stated you don't know what it's going to be until it happens and things change in life that can effect how you feel. There are a lot of women who get married and have kids, then they get divorced and now they're raising the kids alone. It's safe to say during the marriage the mother probably enjoyed motherhood and was happy but it's a whole different ball game when you have to do it by yourself or even in some marriages, the mother thinks the father is going to help when after the baby comes he's not involved.
So I think it's very insensitive to judge mothers and attack them for their feelings and it would be nice if more mothers were honest about the way they really feel about motherhood and not continue the fairytales and selling women dreams, then maybe you wouldn't have so many women who go into motherhood and only want to talk about the negatives because no one was honest with them that motherhood wouldn't be easy and all rosy like mothers love to claim it is.

I thought I've seen a child shot at her mother. last week. in the news. in the usa? the mother made always propaganda for guns, or something like that. they said.
Posted by cheekyfaeriePosted by DwellingOnMoveIf it's the one I'm thinking about (we have so many), she had a handgun under the seat and the kid was in the back seat. Found the gun and shot her in the back.

Posted by babygurlThis was not a vent thread. It was not a complaining thread. It is a humor thread!!
What is maturity? People love to throw that word around alot. Maturity to me where children are concerned is knowing that you signed up to deal with all the responsibility and support that bringing a human in this world entails.
I understand that this thread was meant in humor but in robbed me the wrong way. And I understand all who said sometimes parents need a place to vent but why paint children in such a negative light in terms where its almost like you're demonizing them.
Then have the audacity not to do preventive measures so as not to get pregnant and but even worse yet to intentionally bring More in to the world.
It's self contradictory and annoying.
Fool me once. Shame on me. But me fool me twice, thrice then you're a jackass to even think about blaming children for being children.
People who do that come off having something mentally wrong with them that scientists haven't given a name to yet. Because it seriously defies logic.. I don't understand it.
And never will. Why go on making seconds and thirds if they're so overwhelming that you feel the need to broadcast to others how terrible they are?
I dislike people who do this.
Now go take a chill pill and stop trying to serious up my thread. 🙂

I knew of someone who was like that. Her goal was 5. Nevermind she was kind of a shitty parent, treated her current ones like crap, but then proceeded to whine and complain about them over STUPID stuff, whine and complain about her pregnancy, etc. Meanwhile, I'm like why the fuck are you having more if you have such a problem with the ones you have? But no. She was collecting them all like Pokemon. FIVE WAS HER GOAL. *eyeroll*

"No, it's not"
I see little miss know it all has graced us with her presence in this thread of trials and tribulations of motherhood and the crap they deal with and still love and adore their children with all they have.
I mean.. CLEARLY, it's the exact same feeling as babysitting other peoples' children. .. (rolls eyes)

Posted by babygurlWell it's like these canned responses above- "oh when it's your own."
@rockyroadicecream Excuse the typo... 🙂
And my point exactly. That is some level of mental insanity I can't begin to understand but the crazier part is that it's commonly accepted like it's something Normal.
And I blame just as heavily the enablers of the B.S as the ones who do it.
I don't want this thread to take a turn where it's feels like I'm condemning parents even if they're guilty of the nonsense you and I mentioned. However it is quite annoying to be honest.
Hopefully this thread doesn't involve parents who do that. So I'm moving right along.
Oh shut it. I got a glance of all that stuff at an early age. I wouldn't be down for that 24-7. I'm still on the fence about having kids, but I remember awhile back, I created a thread about having a realization of questioning if I wanted to bother all together. The usual response from the mommy crowd- "Oh you'll change your mind/it's different when they're your own."
God forbid anyone think outside the box and NOT consider fulfilling the societal role of being a baby machine. *eyeroll*
To each their own, but drop the canned shit. It just makes one look brainless.
Posted by babygurlYeah, it's sad that people have zero regard for bringing a life into the world. They treat it as a commodity.Posted by rockyroadicecream I knew of someone who was like that.
