[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parenting drudgery gets to me sometimes, but at least it comes with the satisfaction of raising a person. Parenting is more rewarding than a lot of other things, which helps. The drudgery of trying to keep the house clean despite efforts of children, animals, and my husband to make it as mess as possible drives me a little nuts, but I can deal.

It's all the other drudgery that gets to me, the stuff that has nothing to do with raising a kid. Bills, taxes, commutes, home maintenance, car maintenance, social obligations I don't actually enjoy, etc. Most of it feels like a little hamster wheel, and so much of this stuff is harder than it needs to be. This week I needed lightbulbs so I went to buy some but of course they didn't have what I needed in store, so I went online and ordered them but then showed up and half of them were broken so I had to return them, and then reorder them. [b]I've spent over an hour trying to acquire lightbulbs this week and still don't have them[/b].

At least when I do stuff for my kid there's usually an actual payoff.[/quote]

+1 to all this the struggle is real[/quote]
