Couldn’t agree more and I am now a mum, it annoyed me before I was one and it still does.So depressing. I’m not a mum (yet) but I’m so sick of this narrative all over insta of people whinging about holidays with children. How shit it is, how they can’t go anywhere nice, how the kids wake up at 4am, how they have to sit in silence. Wtf!!
It honestly makes me question whether I want kids. When I have for my entire life. But now I’m in my thirties it’s like… do I? Everyone makes it look horrificCouldn’t agree more and I am now a mum, it annoyed me before I was one and it still does.
I honestly want to ask people like this why they bothered having kids. I’m not saying every moment is a walk on the park but some people especially social media influencers seem to constantly moan. I hate when half term starts and you have to deal with a week of ‘content’ which is basically people moaning about having to spend time with their own kids
I’m not going to lie, it’s bloody challenging at times but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love my kids more than I ever knew I could. Do I miss my child free days? Yeah sometimes but I had kids in my late 30’s so I feel like I smashed the shit out of life before them so have no regrets! They bring me pure joy every day…even if they can be right twats at times!It honestly makes me question whether I want kids. When I have for my entire life.

I don’t want to try and convince you because everyone has different circumstances and preferences - but can assure you that parenthood is a joy for those that engage in it and are honest/realistic about what it is.It honestly makes me question whether I want kids.

Totally agree I used to be a teacher and it really ground my gears when parents would complain when they have their kids for far less time than we had them.Couldn’t agree more and I am now a mum, it annoyed me before I was one and it still does.

Ah don’t let twatty influencers put you offIt honestly makes me question whether I want kids. When I have for my entire life. But now I’m in my thirties it’s like… do I? Everyone makes it look horrific
Honestly, it has its hard moments but that’s easily outweighed by the happy moments. Best decision I ever made. It’s down to the individual of course but these influencers can’t be trusted.It honestly makes me question whether I want kids. When I have for my entire life.

You’ve taken the words out of my mouth! Baby stage put me through the WRINGER but the toddler stage is nicer. Even tantrums can be hilarious. Not always, but they can be.Sorry to add to the parenting chat but agree with what everyone has said - personally I found the baby stage really hard but from toddler age up, when they develop their own personalities and preferences, it's so fun. I have so much more fun at the weekends/on holiday with my little one than I did pre-kid, being able to hang out at museums, get them into swimming, teaching them to ride a bike etc is just great. And on things like swimming - my MIL is terrified of water so never taught her kids to swim (or ride a bike) and not having those skills has affected their confidence so much as adults. Not to mention, it's a life-saving skill!
Come over to the KO thread! We certainly don’t always rave about her and I could not agree more with your comment about her kids!Yes! to all of the above (Katherine ormerod really annoys me how much she whinges given that it seems she spends barely any time with her childrenweirdly people only ever seem to sing her praises on here)
