My favorite is when the removable cup falls out of the bra. Had it happen in my 20s, male boss says, "what's this?" about foam bra cup in center of office floor. It was a first job and I was mortified. Thought quickly and said, "oh, my shoulder pad must have fallen out." Can't say that anymore...lol
one time someone saw one in my bathroom. i told him i use it to put on makeup.
Load More Replies...YES I DONT WANT TO PAY EXTRA MONEY FOR STUPID EXTRA CUPS ILL NEVER USE!!!! UGH!!! (sorry for yelling lol I feel strongly about this issue)
Yes yes yes ! Use the fabric to give us pockets!! But please not on bras or swimsuits! LOL
Load More Replies...I wish I could upvote this a thousand times. What's hilarious is that they have a tiny little hole so you can supposedly remove them and put them back in. It's so hard to do. No way I am gonna do that every time I wash them. I take them out and throw them away. I don't even know what purpose they have except to maybe keep your nips from showing through. What a waste. I wish they'd just add the appropriate padding in a permanent fashion.
I do a lot of the laundry in my house, the first time I saw these (lose in the wash) I thought they were shoulder pads... Then I started assuming they were from bras. Eventually I saw my wife putting one back in a sports bra, and now I know what they are. I like figuring things out on my own without having to ask.
Some people are really keen on starting a family. They cannot wait to settle down, create a home, and watch a mini version of themselves run around it. In the US, the number of families has been steadily increasing since the ‘60s. According to Statista, there are currently nearly 85 million of them in the country.
Heads of these families might say that parenthood is a gift that keeps on giving. There is nothing quite like watching your little ones take their first steps, say their first words, and develop their character. They might also state that a parent’s love is unconditional. Yet children will try to test it a gazillion times just to make sure.
Frank, why don't you set a good example and have your wisdom teeth removed without anesthetic, like the good ol' days. Prove you're a man, Frank.
Or just die of that totally manageable diabetes you've got. Just like in the good ol' days!
Load More Replies...Women used to give birth with the help and support of other women, and a lot of the time, they died doing it.
A lot of women died during childbirth. And many babies died from complications during birth and after. It still happens to this day, but not as often as before the advancements in pre and post natal care.
I write down each item in the order that you would walk by it in the store. Yet somehow it’s still my fault if he forgets stuff. 🙄
I've found sending pictures of the exact product can help, but it's still not 100% foolproof 🤦♀️

Fight off? They used to domesticate Wolves. As a 17 year old who does the groceries, I can confirm that this is an awesome counterargument. My dad can't do the groceries properly.
If I were any happier I'd wet my pants! No. I'll just have an Old Fashioned and smile.

In 7th grade, I had to write an essay to convince my school to put pads and tampons in the school bathrooms. They did. The next day, all the pads were stuck to the walls and floors, and the tampons were in the hall and in the sinks 😒
wtf?? For some reason I immediately thought of a certain group of boys at my school that would 100% do that lol
Load More Replies...I woul totally play Vajenga... Lets have Vajenga nights over glass of red wine and time our period cycles so that we all can do it
Some parenting challenges have changed drastically since the good old days. In a 2020 survey, the Pew Research Center found that two-thirds of parents agree that raising children now is more difficult than it was two decades ago. They find it challenging to keep up with the rapid technological advancement. The surveyed people believe that it affects children as well, as they tend to have less patience and choose the virtual world over real-life interaction.
Undeniably true. The relatives I have remaining are little to no contact. I have doubts the parental relative even knows how she screwed things up, but that is a remote conclusion.
Load More Replies...Better yet, get it cut out even when it's not messing up your health just to show the other organs who's boss
Even better, cut it out with a SPOON to really put the fear of Adam into the other organs.
Load More Replies...Well, I cut half of it (the toxic part), still no regret 30y later, glad that my kids will never swim in that swamp.
And this is why I no longer speak to my mother. She was a toxic appendix 😌
For goodness sake turn off the censoring. We all know what it's saying anyway
Two. One you're born in, the other is the one you can choose. They're called friends, and so many times they make for the best family.
I worked in a daycare for a while. I had a kid that loved coming to the daycare. One day when his mom came to pick him up, he gave me a big wave goodbye as he's walking out the door to tell me how much fun he had that day. And then he walked straight into the edge end of the open door cause he wasn't watching where he was going. I felt loved too. ❤🙊
My son is 20. He still holds my hand in public, tells me loves me and kisses me hello, goodbye and goodnight. I'm forever grateful he's never been ashamed of me or acted like I didn't exist. :)
Awesome! Truly hope my little one ends up like that with me. I always was with my mom.
Load More Replies...Was going over things we were thankfull for for Thanksgiving. I asked my son expecting a toy or food answer. He thought for a second and literally said "for having the best daddy in the world". After that had to explain to him that people cry when they are happy sometimes. Was the most unexpected sweetest thing.
Whereas my nephew once had to draw a picture and write a little blurb about a family member. He drew me asleep on the couch with stink lines coming off me. His blurb read "My Uncle Mick plays cricket on Saturday then plays poker and drinks beer" this was at a Catholic school and at the time I thought his teacher was a bit of a looker, all hopes were dashed lol love that kid
My daughter moved out of state a number of years ago. When I go to visit, she's always so excited for me to meet her friends and coworkers. Makes me smile. I guess she still likes me after all these years.
I can still fondly remember that one year my mother could make it to a mother's day event at my school. That was the only year she came. I don't blame her for not coming the other years as she had work to do, but I really appreciated the time she came. She even walked me back to class afterwards. I remembered almost crying.
From a mom who's little says "thank you" or "ok" after I tell him I love you, Thank you! I go to all his school functions, still no "I love you" back, but your story gives me hope that he'll appreciate it one day.
Load More Replies...Awww. My daughter did something similar. I picked her up from pre-K one day and she gave me a big hug and was like "This is my mom." as she was trying to boast it to her classmates. Relish it while it lasts. Soon they'll be wanting to ditch you the moment they're seen by other kids.
Parents worry about their kid’s online safety. Respondents of the Pew Research Center survey admit they are concerned about the messages their children receive and the abundance of all sorts of information online. The internet provides not only easy access to the good, but also the bad, and the ugly. Plus, children might not have the best judgment on what content belongs online where everyone can see it.
If my parents were still alive, they'd like this. My mother used to say 'So and so's mother said you were beautifully behaved at her house. Why don't you behave like that at home?' Well, Mum, now you know.
I'm always happy to hear my girl was an angel when she stays over at people's houses coz she can be a right demon at home
Both of my children! "N**** is so lovely to work with." "N** is the most thoughtful young person I've ever known!" Yep. I take every compliment with a big 'I f*****g deserve it' smile! They are demonics at home. And, you'll never know!! 🤐
They’ll grow up eventually don’t worry (signed, a former a*****e at home)
Load More Replies...I was surprised to be told my little nephew can be an obnoxious brat when it's just him and his parents, because when I've seen him he's always been good as gold. ^_^
We’ve shared with our kids that they can feel anything they want anywhere, and to just not let their feelings dictate their actions. (Still hard to remember at 52, to be honest… 🤣)
When I hear my little sister is quiet and normal at daycare, but she’s whooping everybody’s a*s at home.
This is true. Most children only act out where they’re comfortable.
Doesn't Pete have a medical condition that causes him insomnia, darkened eyes and pale skin?
He suffers from Crohns disease. Making fun of someone’s appearance during times of illness is pretty low.
Load More Replies...Avocados are fragile enough without fighting with them.
Load More Replies...It's actually probably a good thing, seeing how people were acting with necessities during the pandemic. The shelves would be bare by noon.
In addition to oversharing, children might also become targets of unwanted messages and other online attacks. Data shows that over 35% of students in the US aged 12 to 17 have experienced cyberbullying. 10% revealed that they have been victims of someone using their information for impersonation and nearly as many kids said they have experienced racism online.
Ok but seriously periods are so crazy, like you bleed what would probably be a concerning amount, if it were coming from anywhere else, and you get mild to severe pain, but have to continue with your life as if nothing is wrong? Not to mention this goes on for a week every month for YEARS. WTF nature?
I have to admit I enjoyed watching men using a period pain simulator at the same time as their wives. It's level 8, the man is crying on the floor and the woman is shrugging and saying "Yeah this is about normal for me".
Load More Replies..."Seriously though your period is like coming home one day and finding that your spouse has constructed this entire new baby bedroom inside your house and you have to tell them “Sweetie we don’t have a baby” and then your spouse FLIPS THE F**K OUT like “The F**K do you mean we don’t have a baby I DID ALL THIS WORK” and then they spend the next week tearing the whole room apart and throwing it out into the street and screaming at you and then finally when the room is completely gutted they calm down and say “It’s okay hon we’ll have a baby next month” and then they start building the room again AND THIS S**T KEEPS GOING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE UNTIL YOU HIT LIKE 50 AND THEN YOUR SPOUSE LEAVES YOU BUT NOT BEFORE SETTING THE WHOLE HOUSE ON FIRE SO IT’S NEVER THE SAME AGAIN." ~ typed by a well spoken anonymous person that isn't me.
Not to be funny but I stumbled across this forum for me seeking help with their wives during menopause and one man was beyond himself stupified when his wife decided she wanted nothing to do with him or her children after menopause started moved into a house next door. Blew my mind. Is this what a mid life crisis is for a women will be like?

And adenomyosis. They both suck and it sucks when both are from 1 side of the family.
Load More Replies...I had a major problem wth my cycle. Child birth made it so much worse. I began bleeding between periods, then bleeding with zero stops. Just heavy during what would have been periods then light when I should have stopped. This steadily got worse over five years. It got to the point that I had to use a pad and tampon to keep up. I'd change both every 30 minutes. Doctors kept saying I was fine even when I became anemic. Had to go through 6 doctors including a psychiatrist (because I "wanted attending" according to some doctors). After all the hoops were jumped through and they got my husband's opinion (because apparently that matters? - PS they didn't like that he was on my side) , my plea for a hysterectomy was accepted. Had my surgery just before the pandemic took off. I'm now battling for hormone replacement therapy because I'm getting really bad menopause symptoms. Women's health is treated as a joke.
I don't know how women deal with this every freaking month!! They're a true badass to be able to carry on while losing blood for a WEEK!! I freak out over a paper cut!!!
When I was in middle school my period was so violent that it became a danger to my safety (hello fainting spells and loosing an unholy amount of blood) so I was put on birth control and it was the best decision I ever made. I got my life back, so if you’re struggling and that’s an option for you, I’d recommend it!
No wonder some people think that c**p is some sort of divine punishment from a douchebag god.
Me, an asexual: WHYYYYYYYYY edit: spelling error 😑
I went to a chiropractor once because I couldn't move my neck. The guy is asking me to describe the pain, and I was struggling how to do that. He suggested some things on the scale of 1 to 10, with a 5 being period pain. So I said maybe a 3 or 4 then because Id happily live with this if it meant no more period pain. So he takes a look and I'd dislocated 2 vertebrae. He said he couldn't understand why it wasn't more painful. I reminded him I had said it really hurt, just not as much as a period.
Yes!!! And they you realize you’re using the flashlight feature to look for it under the couch.
Okay but can we say it to his parents? Because it is so f***ed up that men aren't taught to have a full emotional vocabulary or even to express their full emotional range
Omg.... was just at a doctor's appointment with my 4 year old, and she was voicing her impatience about the wait, albeit in a funny and well spoken way (the wait was only about 8 minutes); her jerk father showed up, and proudly announced "she has her daddy's level of patience!".... I said, "no, let's reframe this: you have the emotional development and patience of a normal 4 year old.... but go ahead and use it as a bragging point". Don't put up with abuse and someone Gaslighting you or your child.
The best response to a situation like this that I've seen in a long time...Bravo, Girlfriend!! And said WITHOUT the too-common vulgarities of someone trying to come across as...cool

Nowadays, social media and the internet are way more intertwined with our lives than they were just a couple of decades ago. Research discovered that back in 2005, only 5% of American adults used social media, while recently the number has risen to 72%. Using these platforms themselves, grown-ups know what kind of threats they might pose. Therefore, as much as 75% of parents check the apps and websites their kids are using.
Well, the ones who didn't survive this aren't here to tell us how they didn't survive
And when they sprayed for mosquitoes,us kids on bikes really did follow the truck with the mister because there were no mosquitoes behind that bad boy. Just because every so often little timmy had to stop and use his inhaler, meant nothing to us. He was always using that, in the car when the adults were smoking, at school because they tarred the roof on the classroom we were in. And I'm only 25% /s
I don’t know how I lived through childhood either Edit: but I guess aliens have wilder childhoods than Earth people
Cats have great childhoods. We get to kill our toy mousies, pounce stuff, and bat things under the sofa.
Load More Replies...This made me realize - I have ZERO memories of ever being in a child seat. Maybe I just don't remember. But nothing. Not as a baby or as a toddler / young kid. It was early 60s. She probably stuck a bassinet in the back seat or something.
You don't remember because you got your head bashed too many times by your parents' crazy driving.

People see a large number of parent influencers online (there are around 4.5 million mom-influencers alone), some of whom might present a beautified view of reality. They can create unreasonable expectations for those with children.
From their squeaky clean houses and children behaving like angels, it might seem like influencers have it all figured out; even though it’s not always the case. Nevertheless, their kids eating vegetables with a smile can frustrate parents with a kid screaming at the sight of a carrot alone.
Why are the moms always the ones expected to be always with the kids and the Dads can just come and go as they wish, and their parents won't stop them?
Because society looks down on stay at home dads. You're expected to work and provide and when you don't handle the children too you're a bad dad. But when you're a stay at home dad you're a bad provider and lazy because you don't work. As a man who went from provider to stay at home dad after the war in Afghanistan ended I can say the expectation is I'm a glorified baby sitter. In public I get congratulations from people about giving mom a break. Nobody respects that men can be loving caretakers too. You're just a baby sitter if you stay home and are viewed as lazy for not working. You're not progressive in a female dominated area. You're lazy and making your wife work. That is our society with "reverse" sexism.

Whenever others kids cry in public, I tell the little ones, “See that’s what you act like”
Mine has done this so often now... rolling around on the floor in an airplane was especially... interesting
We got lucky, ours realised early on there were better ways of getting her own way. A cute smile and well reasoned argument worked much better. You know you are in trouble when two adults are out logicked into buying another fluffy toy by a 4 yr old.

He's wearing my third grade teacher's hair and my sixth grade teacher's shirt. I'd like to imagine that this is what they still look like if they haven't bit the big one yet.
And this is the very reason America is “pumping out” ILLERATE dummies. There is nothing of value being taught; no discipline at all, and children act like the world revolves around THEM! (And my most sincere apologies to those teachers NOT in this huge group of idiots!)
As if raising children isn’t enough to have one’s plate full, parents have to solve financial riddles as well. Providing for several hungry mouths and maintaining the household is not an easy task. Therefore, moms and dads have to find the best work-life balance for the well-being of all the members.
Based on recent data, one-fourth of parents find it difficult to cover all the expenses of the family, such as housing, food, or healthcare. This puts additional stress on them as spending time with the kids becomes more difficult when working long hours.
Right? This is a terrible post. I would love to have her body!

To Women - some stuff about getting older is not great. But one positive thing you can look forward to in your old age is most of the men your age will have extra weight, unimpressive boobs and some stretch marks and they won't even be able to blame it on child birth. It really evens the playing field a bit.
I can't stress this enough but no one cares what you look like more than yourself. Most people don't give a c**p if you are ugly as f**k. You are the one that is wanting to be better than that like you have to be pretty. Embrace chaos. Be ugly.
If you are male and don't have the confidence - go to France. Stay at a campsite. Most sites now have rules you have to wear the tight Speedo type swimwear if you use the pool. Supposedly saves water. Fat balding pasty English bloke. By day three Happily strutting my stuff to the pool in the heat of the day just me my Dad bod, tight Speedo trunks and crocs...not giving 2 FFS. Mind least I did not go too far and add a t shirt then go to the Supermarket like some bloke did...
Yes! ever notice how newscasters are frequently ugly old men? Not the same for women is it?
I’m an introvert but people like me and want to tell me their life stories all the time. I’m not mean though so I smile and listen, then hide in my room for a week or two.
Do you also do the "oh really?" "oh that's crazy" responses every so often while your brain is thinking "OMG please shut up so I can make an excuse to leave"?
Load More Replies...I feel personally attacked. I hate humans, but crave human affection and will go to great and uncomfortable lengths to aquire it without seeming needy. I walk a fine line between 2 worlds
I think I'm unlikable even though I really try to be nice. Is that anxiety speaking or am I maybe on the spectrum?
Omg this!! I’m actually an introvert but I would also talk to people bc I’m not rude (duh) and somehow that just makes them open up to me. I don’t have friends and yet they think I’m very friendly and super nice. But the truth is, I’m screaming “leave me alone” in my head. Sad really. I meant it’s sad for me that I don’t have people I can really talk to.
I'm kinda like this. In a way. I'm friendly, love interacting with ppl, don't know how to actually make a friend tho. And when I think I'm close to making one they go away. And if I try to sound professional in any way it sounds bossy or plain rude 😣

Load More Replies...Written by a non-parent. Parenting is hard, period. Parenting so your kids don't grow up to be a[blurrr]s is going that extra mile to make doing it worth it.
It's actually not in your control. Your children are people with free will, and they can choose to be assh*les.
You can't control them, but you still gotta try and encourage them onto the right path. If you do everything right your kids might become a******s but if you don't do anything they likely WILL become a******s.
Load More Replies...That's a good point, but there's going to be a stretch of utter assholiness that comes with the teenage phase. I think the trick to getting them to the other side of this, without them turning into full-on asssholes, is lots of belly aching to a trusted friend and also remembering your own asssholiness at the same age. This won't magically fix the issue, but it might help how you react to it. There's also alcohol./s
Not raising a$$hole sons and entitled little Princess daughters is the key.
If you put the hard work in early, the teenage years are MUCH easier.
Parents deal with all sorts of pressure when it comes to planning family finances. Bills, car maintenance, grocery shopping, and other responsibilities seem like a never-ending cycle of expenses. To make things worse, grown-ups in the family often feel pressured to buy things that are less necessary as well. Research shows that around 60% of parents in the US feel the need to purchase certain expensive items of the latest edition.

I feel like it was 4-8 yrs old. Right after I learned to ride a bike and before I started periods.
That was when I was in Kindergarten. Everything went downhill when I turned 13. Walking home from school and all of a sudden I bend my knees and get a shooting pain all up and down my legs. Very terrifying and agonizing. I also screwed up my spine carrying a heavy backpack with a binder and 3 textbooks because that was how "cool kids" wore them. Don't get me started on the times my by baby canines got loose and in came the adults. Those were some dark days.
I think about this a lot. Like... why didn't I appreciate those times??
To be fair I thought she meant sticky tape at first! I taught myself to say record instead, not that it really matters. I don’t know why I did it, I don’t have much going on.

Load More Replies...Kids are also not immune to the latest trends. Especially when their peers are walking around with the newest gadgets and ads on TV are blasting about a new kit for making your own slime (who doesn’t love a living room rug covered in glitter, huh?). Investment in digital advertising for children has been steadily rising for years now. Together with the increase in social media usage, it might put thoughts in kids’ heads of things they might need.
Teach them to walk and talk and then spend years telling them to sit down and be quiet.
People say babies are hard, I miss when my daughter stayed where I put her
Apart from the lack of sleep, that age was so easy and fun! They would laugh at anything!

In England, the colour of the mare is 'Fleabitten Grey'! I much prefer your description of 'Granite' or even 'Granite Grey' . Yes, mum & foal are Arabian (dished face, beautiful & know it). One of the best horses I ever knew was half Connemara, quarter Arab, quarter Thoroughbred, and guess what? She was fleabitten grey

Load More Replies...The amount of money spent is not the only thing that changes after starting a family. The items parents buy often shift as well, as they tend to trade the nice ones for the practical ones. High heels for New Year? Forget it. Mom’s rocking her new crocs. Some of these amusing memes cover exactly that and the comments show people can relate.
1) Where does this happen? I get a person every time (during business hours of course) and the actual doctor will call me back between patients if I need. 2) I really don’t think my kids school asked for this. I don’t remember it at all. But the school nurse reached out before my kid started kinder based on what I wrote on some “about me” form during registration (my son does have some medical issues).
I’ve lived in multiple cities, in multiple states, and have four kids ranging from 2 to 26. Every single school or daycare, right through Uni has asked for this info.

My son gets the 2 warnings from me if something is dangerous but not life threatening. If he proceeds to ignore me and get injured he comes over to verify he's not actually hurt bad. Gives me a nod then goes to find mom to start crying for some sympathy.
Other way around in our household. My husband grew up with parents who would have him checked out by a doctor immediate. I grew up where you'd hear the phrase "well that's what happens when you are an idiot".

My awesome SAHD uncle got kicked off his Daddy FB group for “not taking things seriously enough”. I cannot even imagine what shenanigans he was getting up to if this was their basis for comparison.
I remember going downtown with hubby and kid. Kid was three and we went into a toy store. Kid and other kids were playing with a wooden train set. Another kid comes up, grabs the train that was in my kid's hand. My kid knocked them down. I am about to step in and make them apologize to each other when my hubby and other kid's dad swoop in, each grabbing their own kid and walk out of the store. No conversation, just immediate resolution. I was very impressed.
If there's ever a good time to fall down the stairs, it's when your body is new and pliable. Kids are very resilient and sometimes have to learn lessons the hard way. A bruise, a broken bone, that's a rite of passage for a lot of us.
anything life threatening that they are doing - let's call it "X": google "gruesome accident doing X" and hit "image search". Show them.
Physical well-being is another aspect covered perfectly in some of these memes. Living with children might add to the toll time takes on our bodies. More times than not, giving piggyback rides and carrying home three-year-olds (who were absolutely certain about their ability to walk back home) do little to help one’s aching back or stiff neck.

I see nothing wrong with this. Then again, it's been 27° in my office all week. I'm in an older building with steam heat, that's either on or off. We are all melting. I called admin and told them I wanted to order a truckload of sand and a kiddie pool so we could have a beach party.

Lol "Period pets" you know open a new box of tampons and there is the cutest itty bitty kitty, you get the endorphin "awww" plus collectors value!
After your period,you take it out. Does he understand that one uses more than one tampon per period.?
I mean, if they were as soft as those magic capsule to sponge creatures I had as a kid and no more uncomfortable than regular tampons, I'd buy them. Heck, I'd drive all over town to get the dinosaur ones because why the heck are only the sea creatures in stock.

Unpopular opinion coming up. Lies to avoid telling the kids no is quite toxic. Depending on their age this stunt can easily be exposed. You have then taught your kid it is OK to lie to loved ones and that you are willing to do a advanced hoax to fool them. When you later tells them something, perhaps much more important, do you want that them to not trust you?

I used to pick my granddaughter up from school, 12 minutes from home. Every day, she would beg me to stop for snacks at a little store near the school. Evety day, I would say no. Every day, she would cry, "I'm starving!!!" I'd say, you're not going to starve in 12 minutes." And every day, she'd scream, "Yes I am! I'm going to STARVE!!!"
My son would always throw a mild tantrum about this. One day I was cooking his favorite food and he started in. I told him he could have his snack instead of dinner if he was really sure that is what he wanted. Took a bit of a gamble. He picked the snack. He got to eat it at the dinner table and watch us eat the favorite food. After dinner was "done"and cleaned up we had a talk and he was able to eat the rest of his food. Solved the problem. He starts in and I ask him if he's sure and he now waits patiently.

Yes. I have to bite my lip when he shouts at them. I don't think shouting to get your point across does that, it just teaches them to shout louder to be heard - especially with our adhd kids.

My husband will occasionally give me that thanks. But i find it irksome. Its like "so you see how much more i do but you still don't try to even it out a bit? Do you think I enjoy all the work and mental load?"
So that husband actually needs to do his share of the workload instead of toxicly complimenting his wife for compensating.
I think that depends on the situation. I own my own small business, which my husband helped buy for me, so I do work but not full time. It allows me to home school my child and keeps me active. Meanwhile, he pays our mortgage, our utilities, bills, puts money in savings, etc all from his earnings. He works really long hours and really hard to allow for this, so I pick up the majority of keeping the home going, dinners, etc. He takes care of the yard and he definitely pitches in to make dinner if I am teaching an evening class (I own a boutique fitness studio). He does thank me for keeping our household going, or when I have done a deep house clean and it all smells so fresh. I appreciate it and don’t think for a minute he isn’t sharing in the workload or that it’s toxic. He appreciates what I do for our family and I appreciate what he does.

I’d say it’s a trade off. At the beginning twins is infinitely harder than 14mos apart. But, I’m currently at the point when one kid exits a stage and the other enters it. So, every c**p stage is twice as long. At least with twins once toddlerhood is over, it’s OVER.

Yeah, but when they're a year or so apart, one can barely hold their head up and the other one want to play Godzilla, stomp on their head and doesn't listen to verbal commands yet... When they're babies, you literally have to prioritize which one lives at least a couple times a day...

Nope, I draw the line at parents gate keeping exhaustion. We all made our choices, chose our poison and are equally entitled to complain about the consequences.
I fully agree. Especially since they love being judgemental no matter why you're exhausted. I know how it feels to be exhausted from kids. My parents made me an overnight parent for my sister's brat when I was 13. I know exactly how it feels being tired after a night alone with a teething toddler. And I had him the whole night every night for two years and up to today I laugh when my sister tells how much easier her firstborn was at night than the other two conveniently forgetting that I was the one caring for him most of the time those first two years. And no, it's not worse than anything else. And a childless person can be just as exhausted for several reasons.
Load More Replies...Yes yes yes.....I am a parent, and I understand child rearing exhaustion .....I also worked shifts for 15 years, so I also understand workplace based exhaustion.

I’m a woman with a male partner and it astounds me how much c**p women talk about their “useless” partners whilst simultaneously not allowing them to contribute to the rocket science that is pressing two buttons on the washing machine.

Parents calling their kids arseholes and turning them into memes...Start saving for the kids therapy, maybe.
Relax. It's not like they go and call their kids names in their faces. It's just some people venting on the internet, because parenting is exhausting.

My parents took good care of us, but they were in charge. What they said went and we fell in line. Children are just that, children, and being super mom so everyone will think you're brilliant is a waste of time. Love them, provide for them, teach them self discipline and prepare them to live in a cold hard world. In other words, raise them to be adults, not tall children.
