As mentioned, parenthood comes with its fair share of struggles, especially for first-time parents. According to a 2024 survey by Owlet, 64% of respondents identified exhaustion as their biggest challenge. 48% admitted to feeling overwhelmed, while 32% said they were anxious.
However, as expected, the sleepless nights were the most significant hurdle. 86% of respondents admitted to struggling to wake up as many as eight times a night to check on their child.

I had a neighbor who gave his kid a whistle and that little boy d@mn near drove us crazy with it. There was an old hillbilly who lived on the other side of the kid who convinced the kid if if he buried the whistle, he would grow a whistle tree that would give him more whistles than he knew what to do with. It worked. I bought the hillbilly a 6 pack.
It is normal for parents to worry about their children's safety. However, some are in a constant state of anxiety. The survey noted that 40% of parents are concerned about their baby possibly contracting illnesses like respiratory diseases or passing away from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
The incessant worries have made parenting stressful for some people, with 40% of them saying they “feel extremely on edge” when their baby gets sick.
But amidst those struggles are the joys of raising a human being. According to a 2023 survey by the Pew Research Center, 44% of people find parenting to be rewarding, and 58% have described their experience as enjoyable.
The survey also found that lower-income parents are more likely to say that parenting is rewarding ‘all the time’ compared to those in the middle and upper-income brackets.

It's such an ugly 'fashion' trend. No one wants to see your dirty socks.

Could be worse. Last middle school concert i went to a couple of weeks ago had this very sad little boy sitting two rows behind me trying his hardest to get one of the girls to notice him. "DAKOTA! DAKOTA I LOVE YOU!! IT'S ME!.....GUS!" I still don't know who I was more embarrassed for.
Parenting isn’t for everybody, and some may find the mere idea to be dreadful. However, those who find fulfillment in it see the joy in the little things.
A 2024 survey revealed that 62% of women enjoyed motherhood for the morning cuddles, 57% loved their child’s spontaneous laughter, and 52% looked forward to their offspring developing new skills.

I'll text my son after I do the dishes to let him know that the sink is empty so he can fill it up again.
If you’re a parent yourself, we’d love to hear from you. Do you share the same sentiments as these folks who shared their experiences online? Feel free to give your insights in the comments below!

The worst insult is when I set up face ID with makeup on and it doesn't recognize me the other 80% of the time...

I'm lucky in that the only spirit day my kids have any interest in is pajama day.

He's not wrong. Sometimes you just gotta get in there. In private, obviously. And washing your hands after.

My grandson has discovered an app with geography facts. "Hey Gigi, what's the 9th largest country in the world?" "Hey Gigi, what state has the smallest population?" "Hey Gigi, which countries have blue and yellow flags?" He likes to know things.

I don't wanna be that guy, but I'm not sure how this works. So, Dad made it to lunch time not knowing his kid was vomiting for 8 hrs? Sounds like, if lunch was "in the fridge," he was even home, presumably with sick child. Why is mom texting this information?

When my son is on his trampoline, he will at random say "nope" and collapse into a heap. He says he is "being daddy's knees".

“If my balls are empty, do I replace them or recharge them?” That gem came forth one morning. He was referring to a game called Going Balls on his iPad and he lost all his lives. He also likes watching a game show called The Chase. My son likes to play at being the presenter Bradley Walsh. However my son misheard a line on the show so he says “You have been caught, set on fire, and your chase is over.”
