Then that would be why you are unhappy when you have them! I have been reading a lot of articles about this whole parental dissatisfaction thing, and it's starting to get on my nerves. Partially because... well, I like kids. Kids are INRCEDIBLY amusing! Kids do and say all kinds of funny things. A lot of times, kids adore you, follow you around and say things like "I love you teacher!" They spin in circles. They hop. They laugh like hyenas. Kids are so much fun!

Sure, you have to tell them everything that they know: tying their shoes, using a fork, being polite to strangers, coloring inside the lines, cutting without cutting their fingers off, not to push, not to shout, but... to some of us... it's worth it.

Just remember from your own childhood: nobody likes whiner.

People need to keep it in their pants, really.

I found that study about how parents are "delusional" for having kids to be really annoying. This article linked is annoying, too. I've never heard any "scientific test" that was so cynical and derisive. It seems like none of these researchers have kids. Oh well, I guess all of these researchers' genes will die out, anyway. :P

The worst part is that it shows, when a parent doesn't appreciate parenthood. If I don't want kids, I won't have kids. XD I don't get what's difficult about that concept.
