I’m so freaking tired of parents with 3+ kids complaining

[Anonymous]

Ha I posted a different vent recently about 3 kids and all their activities. I’m a SAHM and have a part time sitter. DH actually suggested I get full time help. I don’t need full time help. It is still a shit show getting kid(s) to sports in the middle of rush hour. I think the worst part is that we live in a highly congested traffic area. If everything were 5 minutes away, it would be fine. We have to drive 2-3 miles and it often takes 30+ minutes smack in the middle of dinner time.

Now my kids have camps and my toddler naps when they need to get picked up. I’m sure my toddler will survive getting her nap cut short.

I don’t mean to come off like I’m complaining. I also complain about traffic, heat, etc. I’m not trying to one up anyone about the number of kids and activities. I’m sure I would complain if I had one kid and had to drive in rush hour to sports too.

Why don't you move to a less congested area instead of complaining that a city has traffic?

I’m tired of parents complaining in general.

Yeah, just sell your house and buy a new one. Totally normal response.

We live in McLean near Georgetown Pike. I am pretty certain every person I have ever met who lives near us complains about traffic. There are several bottlenecks and studies being done to alleviate some of the traffic.

I was joking because I get so annoyed at people saying this stuff here all the time!

Haha at least I got a real chuckle.

When I was going through infertility I wanted to scream everytime a parent complained about their kid. I wanted to grab them and shake them and make them understand that what they were complaining about was something I would give anything to have. But I really tried to suppress this feeling when it happened because I realized that it wasn't about me, and everyone deserves to complain sometimes.

I complain about my job, even though I know people who are unemployed. I complain about living in a townhouse and not a SFH, even though there are plenty of people who are homeless or barely making rent.

I try to cut people some slack. Have compassion.

Full time help and being a SAHM?! Smh.

She has 3 kids... you cannot expect her to do it alone. She probably also has a housekeeper and yard service. Between mom, dad, and nanny you'd think they could figure it out. And, she probably has poor toddler in no activities so how hard can it be.

Don’t be bitter ladies. You should have chosen husbands who make more money.

Envy runs high on this one.

OP, I went to read the post you’re referring to, and I can’t see what you’re so worked up about. What she’s describing could be true of someone with one or two children. I remember when I was a FTM how much time went into planning a day out anywhere. Sometimes I didn’t bother going out because it was too much trouble. You should examine why you despise parents (or is it only mothers?) of multiples so much. All she did was ask for advice, so your vitriol is very odd.

Yep. I have a neighbor dad who is constantly trying to dump kids on me, get me to hold his youngest in the pool, etc., etc. If there is a true emergency or complex situation, of course I will help out. But when it's every damn day and you just don't want to deal with your brood? Nah, I'm good buddy. I had two kids for a reason.

I have three kids and never thought it was hard.

Complainers are just weak willed people whose lives are a perpetual hot mess.
