Parenthood is way more romanticized than it deserves
This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.
- Pay, and you hold it.
- Anyone can dethrone you for more.
- Every claim stays on the record.
No claims on the record.
The other side
The warmth around parenthood built up because the work is unpaid and lasts decades, and nothing else keeps people at it through the sixth consecutive broken night. Praise is the wage. Meanwhile the hard parts get catalogued constantly in group chats and memes, while the ordinary morning where a four-year-old explains the weather stays private and hard to describe. That side is underreported.
