[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, yiu sound like one of those parents who treats parenting with all the reverence of a born again secret cult member, that no one can possibly understand what an amazing, joyous, amazing, position it it is. [/b]

You took a compliment about how difficult parenting appears and turned it into a criticism.

Maybe I’m a different kind of parent, and I love my child like the sun and moon, and I wouldn’t change it for the world, but parenting is difficult some times. A lot of times. Yes, diapers are the standard of care for a period, but changing them is still gross. Scrubbing toilets is not my hobby, and I have to scrub them more with kids than I do with just adults around. There are mysterious sticky fingerprints in places I can’t fathom sticky fingerprints being. I haven’t had a full nights sleep in years.

Acting like your friend can’t appreciate to any degree how hard parenting is because she doesn’t have kids is disingenuous. No, you never get the full idea, but she obviously get it enough that she is trying to commiserate with you in the only way she knows how - by indicating how hard she sees you working. [b]You’re the one choosing to be offended, and really, I think you just judge her for being child free because your new religion is children.[/b] [/quote][/quote]
