[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a ton of friends who don’t have kids yet (we are in our mid 30s). After being stuck in our house for 30 days straight with our 3 kids (including a newborn)

[b]I would tell my friends to think long and hard before you have kids. [/b]
[u]I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. [/u]
[i]This has potentially been the worst month of my life. 
[/i]
Maybe if our kids were older (they are toddlers) or we didn’t have to work and take care of them at the same time I wouldn’t feel this way but I am sure I am just reiterating [b]what most working parents feel like during this quarantine and pandemic. I love my kids but if I knew there was a chance that I could be stuck inside with them[/b] for days and months on end with no end in sight I would highly rethink having them or at least so many of them.

What the fudge, dude?

1- Tell them, unprompted? Have a dinner party where you address your "ton" of childless friends all together in one room, that your reproduction was a mistake and you strongly advise, as their financial advisor and mental health counselor, that none of them shall have children? 
2- Bruh.  Your worst enemy?  Wtf is going on at your house?
3- The worst month of your life?  Either you are from McLean or some shit like that...  and have literally always been waited on and had it REALLY easy, and this is the first time you've had any real challenge or had to be alone with your family and confront some shit / your own demons .... Idk what the or is here.  Or you have some really sweet wonderful enemies?  Everyone I have been talking to is more than honest that there are some tough moments, and yes we are all working with little ones at home too, but there is SO much good in this.  Getting to spend so much time with these sweet kiddos who don't understand.  Getting to know them so much better.  Getting to be the one to help my K student finally have it 'click' with learning to read.  Getting to be there when she conquered biking without training wheels this week.  We GET to be here.  
4- It shouldn't be a punishment 'stuck with my children for a month' .... dude is your spouse as selfish and horrid as you?  Or do the kids actually have someone during this time, when their whole routine is disrupted and nobody can tell them what's going on / what is going to happen any given day or in the future .... or are you both miserable cows and your poor children will be in therapy for the next 82 years?[/quote]
