Is parenting really that bad? or is that just negative mothers?

...i want to be the best mother i can be.. i know i was a hard child after the age of 12 when i thought my $%#@ didnt stink.


but is parenting really as bad as some mothers say?


or are their children the way they are cuz of the way they were raised?Is parenting really that bad? or is that just negative mothers?
PArenting is the hardest job in the world. You don't get paid for it, no appreciation, and a lack of respect from the teen years till about mid 20's.....





Is it worth it? Yes. would i do it again? Of course. WAtching my children grow has bee nthe most enriching experience of my life.





Your children are a reflection of you. How you raise them is how you want them raised.Is parenting really that bad? or is that just negative mothers?
You have no choice in how they are raised now...The government will let you know how your going to do it.. Yo can do nothing to the child but talk..Talk don't work...But if your kid gets out there and destroys something --YOU WILL PAY because its still your kid although the government says how you going to raise it...Yes parenting in this day SUCKS...Think about it before you do it..
Parenting is hard. It's extremely rewarding at the end of the day though and that's what makes it work it! If mothers complain about their children it's their own fault. From the day a child is born it's up to you to teach him/her right from wrong and how to behave. A lot of people skip that part then wonder what the heck went wrong. Personally, I feel the first five years are what makes a child. It's really hard to 'teach a old dog new tricks.' That's probably why they complain that so much.





What I'm trying to say is that it takes dedication but it's not something to complain about. The mothers you are talking about are the ones who probably should have thought a lot harder before deciding to have children.
There's an old saying, 'If the child misbehaves,銆€spank the parents.鈥?Children who are truly wanted and loved and given the proper education and guidance grow up to be good, loving, contributing members of society instead of a burden. Unfortunately, in many cases the kid is an afterthought, or rather a product of a brief roll in the hay. Consequently the child is resented by the parties concerned if not overtly, at the subconscious level,and the child sensing the negativity from the parents begins to act up. Of course to make matters worse, immature people continue to produce babies often by different men who then become not only physical but financial burdens.
OK..we all want the best for our children and to be the best mothers (well most of us anyways)





I think you are confusing the negative feelings mothers sometimes have about parenting as being bad..its not the same...I can tell you this...you only understand after you are a parent..just how exhausting, constant, sacrificial, non-stop and all on about 6 -7 hours of sleep and 1 hour of me time..I tough mothers were being 'babies'; or ';exaggerating'; ..typically they are NOT! Its about 5x harder than your imagining right now!





that being said I would do it all over again to have my lil man!
Parenting is a 24 hour a day job, it is tiring, challenging, demanding and very hard work at times. But is is also fun, exciting, happy and rewarding when its good. It depends on how much support you have from others, how well your child sleeps,eats,settles etc. There is no garantees with kids and you never know how each day will turn out. My eldest is three and he is a handfull at times, but he is also very funny, caring,smart and polite. I can only hope it gets easier as they get older!
Being a mother is the toughest and most rewarding job I have ever had. It definately is challenging, and requires a lot of energy. My mom was a single parent of 3 kids after she was forced to leave my dad because of violence. I never heard her complain once, and I think that is the best example I have ever seen. I think that mom's that complain make their children feel guilty or bad about themselves. Phases are normal stages of development, even the one you mentioned. Its our jobs as mothers to set an ideal example for how we would want our children to parent and act. So, I disagree with the negativity and complaining that some moms feel they need to do; and given the same token can relate to the challenges.
