We all love our kids . . . or DO we?ย Someone asked people to name things they secretly HATE about their children.ย Here are the highlights . . .
ย
ย
1.ย ย Your weekends are ruined.ย There's no sleeping in when you have kids.ย And even when they're older, you have to shuffle them around to soccer games.
ย
ย
2.ย ย How "cute" milestones can make things harder.ย Like, they can talk . . . great, now they'll never shut up.ย Or, they can walk . . . now I can never sit down.
ย
ย
3.ย ย Having to be nice to them when you're in a bad mood.ย People without kids don't understand how daunting and endless it is.
ย
ย
4.ย ย The mess.ย It's a lot harder to keep your home clean once you have kids.
ย
ย
5.ย ย Mindless playing.ย Like when they want you to play with their dolls or action figures with them, and you have to fake like you're having a really fun time.
ย
ย
6.ย ย It makes work harder.ย Whether you're at home or in an office, it interferes.
ย
ย
7.ย ย All the extra cooking.ย Then half the time, they complain or won't eat it.
ย
ย
8.ย ย Working all day, then having to go to a play or band recital.ย Another example of never having enough free time.
ย
ย
9.ย ย Dealing with other parents' nonsense.ย And also having to pretend you like them, or that you'd hang out even if you didn't have kids.
ย
ย
10.ย ย How touchy-feely kids can be.ย Sometimes they can't keep their hands off you.ย And those hands are rarely clean.
ย
ย
11.ย ย One mom admitted she secretly hates her kid for ruining her body.ย Quote, "I love my kid, but my body will never be the same."
ย
ย
12.ย ย You can't leave the house once they go to bed without getting a babysitter.ย It's almost like being in jail, or on house arrest.
ย
ย
13.ย ย Not being able to take a day off when you're sick.ย You don't really get to rest.ย You still have to cook, clean, and help them with whatever they need.
ย
ย
14.ย ย They follow you everywhere.ย Say goodbye to privacy for a few years.
ย
ย
15.ย ย The pressure that every little mistake made as a parent could scar them for life.ย It's mentally draining, and you constantly feel guilty.ย
