To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.

This is also why people should seriously think about if they are ready to have a kid or want to have a kid.
Millions or tens/hundreds of millions of kids have parents that never really wanted them and just gave in to the biological clock and/or social pressures and the kids have a shitty childhood. It sucks to be unwanted, and kids can really feel it.

In the early nineties I knew a Mormon man with a happy housewife & 10 kids and he would run a marathon by himself every day just to be out of the house.
