[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My childfree sister makes fun of me whenever I complain about my kids. My husband also reminds me that I was the one who pushed for them when I want him to take on more of the work. [/quote]

That sucks, PP. It's really frustrating to not get your feelings validated by your loved ones -- for me it makes it all feel so much worse. Your husband and sister sound like jerks.

FWIW, I think you have every right to complain. Kids are a pain! I love mine and am glad I had them, but they still wear on my last nerve on a regular basis. [b]I consider complaining about them privately to my loved ones my God-given right [/b](and also think that complaining to my husband or a close family member of friend keeps me from complaining directly to my kids, which I think would be bad for their self-image). Hugs to you.[/quote]

No, it doesn’t suck, it’s the truth.

You wanted them, you pushed for them - and, they suck. How could you NOT have known this?

Nope, you don’t get to complain. [/quote]

The same way someone could tell you law school or med school or climbing Mt. Everest or running a marathon are hard, but only when you've done one of these yourself do you realize how truly challenging it is.  Pretty sure you'd listen to someone complain about how hard any of those thing are.  Why is parenting the one experience people should fully comprehend before they've, you know, actually done it?[/quote]

The pathetic part is the "I consider...my God-given right" part.  Gross.  Just be aware that your loved ones, after the 500th time of you bitching about the kids yoiu wanted and actively pursued having, is no longer required to consider it their God-given duty to listen to your endless whining about your own choices.[/quote]
