I have kids that I raise, they are great kids, I love them to death but if someone thinks kids aren’t a burden (of any sort) than they’re lying.

    Trust me, there are people who think it’s a sin to use the word “burden” when speaking of kids. They are insane IMO

      Sounds like they have the unpopular opinion

        I actually did expect this much “positivity” to my post lol. I guess I’ve spent too much time in a Precious Moments figurine store.

      There’s so much stigma around this sort of thing. It’s getting better, but the mindset that children are a gift and parents should be constantly grateful for that gift is still very prevalent.

      The reality is that whilst children are absolutely incredible, life affirming and all that good stuff…an awful lot of being a parent is frankly, horrible.

      In the history of the world, probably only baby boomers and maybe some of X thought this. Any time else in history, kids are there only due to the desire to fuck. Hell, the Romans drove a plant extinct with their need for birth control.

        I imagine any time in history where a family needed loads of kids for labor probably was like “they aren’t a burden when they are free labor” lol
