Kids Suck

kids are a freaken pain in the ass..... but its part of life....

I believe having children are a privledge. Not to be taken lightly. If you don't have the wisdom to comprehend what your getting yourself into- with all the uncertainty that it entails- then don't.

They are not pets.

They are not here in this life to earn your love- which should be unconditional.

They are not pawns to be played with in silly adult ego games.

This thread couldn't be more timely.

I had a gathering today. Hosted friends and family. We have the big house so we're always the ones to host. We also have the only kids in the family so everyone takes for granted I want to share my children with them and they expect to be here for every birthday and holiday. I essentially never get to be alone with my husband and children during celebrations or momentous events.

That wouldn't be so bad except with my husband's parents and siblings, and my parents and siblings, it is constant drama. Adults behaving in highly dysfunctional ways. It is exhausting.

Anyway, I told my kids today they are my favorite people besides my husband.

I meant it.



To the lady who lost a quarter of a mil to her kid...

You are a sad POS. You'll refuse to see it though, because then you'd have to admit you're a selfish and shitty mother who did a lousy job growing a child.

Having children isn't for sissies, and that's for damn sure.

Yes they do! they are trouble, difficult, annoying pains in the ass SOMETIMES and anyone who states they are not, either doesn't spend any time with them or never had any.

I have 3 and I love them dearly and I'm sure they love me, but if you ask them I'm just as sure they would say that I suck sometimes too.

If you want active questioning minds, free thinkers and explorers then they will push the limits on occasions. It's all part of growing up and developing.Good times!.

Best to try and keep a sense of humor, be patient, loving and consistent. Mean what you say and work together with your partner if possible. Greatest experience of my life and would not change it for the world!

Kids are like heaven and hell all mixed together in one tiny bundle. Some days are horrible and others are great, but they do add alot of flavour to life, its never dull. I have 2, and I had them young which was a massive shock to me and I will admit I regretted it for a while but now I can look back and see how character builiding it has been for me. I'm very proud of them.

To the mum with the autistic boy, hats off to you I would never have the patience to deal with that.

Parenting ain't for sissies.

If you're not up to the challenge, spend 25 cents on a rubber.

You can lease it with an option to own.
