My favorite thing as a parent is telling other parents that kids are a joy.
They are (after the first 10 months are over). But for that first 6-10 months, oh sweet fuck is it miserable. I honestly don't remember anything from that time period other than exhaustion. And you can see it on new parents faces. That blank, almost ptsd stare.
It's hilarious.
- mcv 8y agoIt's a good thing we are genetically programmed to find young babies the most adorable things in the world, especially our own, no matter how loud, wrinkly or poop-producing they are. Without it, babies would never survive. By the time the cuteness starts to wear off, the worst is over. Well, they don't listen, disobey everything, and supposedly puberty is going to be even worse, but at least you can play boardgames with them. Played X-wing with my 9 year old yesterday. That makes the 9 year investment worth it.
