[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so sad and indicative of how a lot of millennial parents feel about childrearing, including many in my orbit.

To the parents who complain about having to spend time with their young children: why did you decide to have children in the first place if you don't enjoy being around them? I'm genuinely curious.

Kids grow up so fast! Once they're 11 or 12, they no longer want to have anything to do with you. Enjoy your time together while you are still their world.[/quote]

NP - parenting the last couple years isn't what parenting is supposed to be like!  doing it alone in your house (maybe with a nanny) without mom friends and playdates and places to take your kids on weekends and the ability to have a babysitter to go out to dinner and family bbqs and visitors etc etc etc.  Adults are made to spend endless hours alone with their kids and thats what the last couple years have been.  I moved 2 years ago and have made exactly one friend b/c at school drop off we are expected to distance and shove our 3yos in the door, people have started going to play spaces again but no one is chatting etc.  Weekends are miserable - not because i don't love my kids but because parenting in these isolated vacuums isn't normal![/quote]
