Director Duncan Jones admits parenting sucks

[toddies]

I have 2 kids. 2 1/2 years & 9 months old respectively.
I’ll tell you something I never see anyone admit... they are exhausting, frustrating & life-destabilizing. They are rarely fun. Sure, smiles are great, hugs are lovely, but it’s HARD & not obviously a good choice in life.

Director Duncan Jones - known to you as the director of 2009's Moon and the son of David Bowie - took to Twitter to tell everyone having kids is a bad life decision. He's the father of 2 y/o son Stenton & 9 month old daughter Zowie. Responses were mostly supportive.



This is where people feel compelled to say “i wouldn’t change it for the world!”
But you know... Of course I’d reconsider!
It’s exhausting! Its banal! It’s like looking after a dog you can’t housetrain.
What it is, is that it is.
& they are mine.
Hopefully they turn out ok.

I’m an odd chap. Don’t live the way you might expect.

We haven’t had dinner together once in nine months, & we have gone out alone together once, for two hours.

People telling you it gets better as they ignore your pleas for help can fuck off as well

I can’t imagine what single parents raising babies alone must have gone through. I had Ashley on the Saturday and went back to work on our pub on the day I got out of hospital (Tuesday) and husband looked after (stared) at her - they are exhausting and loving

18 months & nearly 4 over this way. They’ve just started to play with each other, which helps a lot. Your ages really are the tough times. I know everyone says it, but it will get easier. Try to get some sleep, Good luck!
