Bah. I know of the hassle which is named "children".

I don't know how people do it.

It's different when they're yours.  It's not the child that's the hassle, it's everything else.

That is the same thing my husband asks me some days, "What did you do today?"  Huh-uh

Nevermind that his clothes magically clean and fold themselves and jump in his drawers and that that there isn't food all over the floors and the children are dressed and fed and all the things we need magically appear in our cupboards.

I guess some people with children don't understand either!

I'm single and take care of myself mostly. I do my own grocery shopping, cleaning etc. I do live with my mum, but only because I do not have a job capable of allowing me to live at my own place yet. If I were to get married, and did not stay home and raise the kids, I'd view those tasks as not being worthy of being considered "work", because I've only done them for myself without having to care for children at the same time. So when my mum sees me and asks what I do (well, she usually knows not to ask, because I will answer), I'll ignore all of that and mention the interesting stuff, like studying Sanskrit. Naturally, children in the equation would change everything.

Oh, I shouldn't complain.  He pitches in a great deal with things around the house.  I don't think he realizes quite just how much work it is.  It is a lot more work because it is an uphill battle to keep things tidy and clean when you have a little demolition crew.

Lol, the bit about checkout line screaming? It's spot on.

All my friends have children. Probably nobody else would want to hang out with me.

I don't really have friends anymore. I have just become a tolerated attachment for this little child everyone wants to see.

And if you're pregnant, you can use the all times best answer to" what have you been doing all day?"
You say " I made a human heart. What did you do?"

Actually checkout line screaming is often how I know when my friends are at the supermarket.  My daughter will hear a child screaming aisles away and say, "Emily's here!," so we go and find them. That's my social life!!
