"This whole country,
our thing is the children.
We have to do it all
for the children.
And, meanwhile,
nobody gives a shit
about how
they raise their kids.
People put minimal effort into it.
They're like consumers of their kids. They want to call Customer service..."
- ssmoot 11y ago> People put minimal effort into it. I don't think that's true. Parenting is much harder than coding and you don't get to check out because you're "burned out".
- acqq 11y agoListen to Louie, the link is there for a reason, the quote is just an introduction. And don't stop listening after a few sentences, carry on.
- rawTruthHurts 11y agoStill it looks like lot of people ignore that and have kids expecting them to be just some kind of home decoration.
- manyxcxi 11y agoI find Louis CK's stories and jokes on parenting hilarious, but also quite comforting. I'm a sarcastic asshole, I always have been, and I've often thought (and in mostly private discussions with close parent friends of mine said similar) funny/sarcastic things about kids. The hilarity is amplified for me, obviously, because I have a deep connection to the stories he's telling, but the comfort is that he's telling my story in the same way I would and people aren't running him out of the village with fire. In fact they're all laughing too. Phew, I was (kind of) worried calling babies self absorbed Hitlers meant I was broken- instead I'm just a bad person and I'm okay with that. I shouldn't have to, but PS, my kids are the best thing in my world and if I was worried they weren't I wouldn't be calling them little atrocity machines. So if you take offense, I'm not sorry.
