Parents complaining about being parents
Who is in the wrong here? I’m okay with it being me, but I just genuinely want to know what you all think. I came across a video of a woman talking about her children. In the video it said “When your kid says they don’t wanna play with you anymore” And the background audio was someone saying “Thank God”.
Loads of parents in the comments were giving their own versions of this saying they hate when their kids keep bothering them and love when their kids leave them alone. I understand that parenting is difficult, but I keep seeing parents complaining about their children and some of it is quite harsh and hateful depending on the post. I’ve never understood why people have children knowing it’s difficult and then keep having more when it is proven to be difficult for them.
Some are obviously jokes, but in the comments, someone said “Do you all hate your kids? I’d never talk like this about my kids” Under a comment of someone saying “I love when my kids leave me the fuck alone. I pray for that. Like get out my face” I agreed with person asking if they hated their kids.
I said “Having kids isn’t a necessity yet these people pop kids out all the time and complain and then have more” They claim it’s all jokes, but even my own mother said that she would never speak like that about us even if we are getting on her last nerve. I know it’s a way to cope, but there is definitely truth in the jokes sometimes, especially the “I love when my kids leave me the fuck alone” comment
Someone then tried to argue with me and say “Well you have a job even though having a job is difficult” To which I said “Having a job is a necessity. You can’t live with no income. You can live without children” Then she says “Taking care of your kids is a necessity” And I said “And that necessity wouldn’t exist if you didn’t have the kids you keep complaining about”
Everyone in the comments was agreeing with me and the original poster said that we were all miserable and had no idea what we were talking about because we weren’t parents and didn’t understand parent humor
