Do you honestly believe these common beliefs about women?

i believe that its to make them feel better. IMO

Being a parent in general is a tough job. At least for those that give a shite.

How would anyone who hasn’t had all possible jobs know this?

Usually people who give birth and have also had kidney stones claim that kidney stones are worse. But most of them don’t really do natural childbirth without anesthesia.

And few, if any of those people have also been mauled by a bear or lit on fire - both of which are probably insanely painful.

I believe in thread titles that are long enough to tell me how shitty the thread is at first glance.

I haven’t had a kid so I can’t say for sure, but I’d put the possibility of ripping open as pretty high on the pain scale

My sister-in-law makes this claim all the time and she literally has a crib that automatically rocks her ipad baby to sleep.

This is the one that always gives me a chuckle, especially if they have more than one child.

It’s been my toughest job thus far. And I’m in medical sales, been part of an organization in a cut throat section that has to try out for a spot yearly, perform in front of 100k+ fans and national TV audience, played as principle flutist in all state, all regional and collegiate orchestras. I’ve done a lot of tough stuff (not extraordinary but I’ve got ice running through my veins when needed) in this life and being a mom takes the cake. I think being a dad is tough, too.

Not being a crappy one, but one who is intentionally trying to pour into their kids, break generational cycles, and give them a better life than the cycle before… yeah, that’s tough. It’s the only job that I’ve ever done where I lay awake wondering the ways I could do it better, different and realize that my actions affect the outcome of someone’s entire life. It’s a lot of pressure.

I give moms the edge in the runoff of toughness mostly because not only do we have to parent, but we have to endure the physical and emotional changes that come with childbearing and birth. No disrespect intended to my fellow dads, but I don’t think civilization would exist if it were on y’all to have babies. Y’all are tough but total weenies at the same time.

I could go on but that’ll do. Downvote away.


Edit: I haven’t had to do the pushing out the hoo ha thing, though I wanted to. But c sections ain’t a walk in the park, either. At least not the recovery. I’ve had three, and never wanted to try the other way because I’d rather stick with the pain of the devil I know.

Supposedly kidney stones can be worse. When I had a stone I wanted to die for a few hours.

I think it can be very very tough for some women. Those women need it more than anyone.
