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.

... Maybe it's because I hang out in women centric spaces but I hear women talking about this ALL the time, especially since they go through so much emotionally and physically when they have kids and the majority of childcare gets dumped on them even when they go back to work.
Anyway I hope he and his wife can get some support. It seems tough, I definitely don't envy parents.

I recently read an article where a therapist said stressed-out mothers were the most common patients she dealt with and that most of the time they just needed a hobby or time away from their kids so they could be something more than just 'mother', and soooo many people in the comments were horrified at the mere thought of a mother having a hobby or going on a vacation that didn't revolve around her kids!

We all know what to expect when having children.

Honestly, looking back now (and I am obsessed with my dog) if I had the choice again, I wouldn't get a dog. It puts alot of restrictions on your life, and you constantly have to plan around it. I think that was the main thing that was such a shock to the system, at first. It's a huge commitment and your life is immediately changed.
And ffs, I'm only talking about a dog - not a human I've created.
