Whats the worst part of parenting?

taking care of the kids or spenind money on them?Whats the worst part of parenting?
i have 20 kids and they all work in the fields 12 hours a day so i dont worry bout emWhats the worst part of parenting?
Neither. I love spending money on my son when I can. I get more pleasure from buying him things than I ever have buying me things. And taking care of him is what I live to do. It can be tough at times but it's what parenthood is about.





The worst part of parenting for me in the short term is the judgement you get from ignorant people who judge you. Just look at this question which I've just answered and you'll see exactly what I mean - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?… - sometimes as a parent you're stuck in catch 22 and will be judged no matter what you do. I hate that, it does really get to me.





But the long term worst thing about it (and really the only bad thing about it) is the fear, for me at least. I just fear so much for my son. What kind of a world have I brought him into? All the dangers out there, will humanity even survive his lifetime? Not to mention local danger, economic danger, global warming, terrorism, simple accidents and illness. Worrying is not fun!
Um neither?? I happen to find both rather enjoyable. I love buying my kids things they need, or want that will make their lives easier, or make them happier.





I think the worst part of parenting is knowing your child is upset, and being able to do NOTHING to make them feel better.
neither of those, for me.





it's the worry that you will not be able to protect them from all the uncertainties in the world.


And the constant fear that something bad will happen to them and you are going to lose them.
Well the worst part would be when they don't do things on time. Like they don't move fast enough or they don't cook dinner on time
I think the two you listed come with the territory. For me it's watching them make mistakes and learning things the hard way.
when the tell the teachers that i abuse them.
Neither. I enjoy both of those aspects.





For me the worst part is having to be the ';bad guy'; and disciplining them.
Being a parent and seeing the P%26amp;S people invade the parenting section.
spending money
understanding them sometimes
... Both. When they start driving.
Probably the crying when they are a baby. My son had colic for 8 months. That was torcher.
Trying to explain why it is right or wrong...
