Why do people have kids just to complain about them all the time?

[Whattodo76]

The constant complaining about how hard it is, how much work it is, how expensive they are etc etc etc

ODFOD

Because we love them but all the above is true 🤣

What?

I had them because I was sick of complaining about the weather, gave me something new to whinge about.

Because they are annoying shitheads, well mine are 🤣.

Same as everything else.
I wanted a job but I complain about it.
I wanted a dog but I complain about it.
I wanted a husband but I complain about him.
I wanted kids but I complain about them.
I wanted a house but I complain about it.
And so on....

Mumsnet abbreviation- stands for "oh do fuck off dear"

Perfect response 👌🏻👌🏻

They annoy us, then they grow up

I don't know any one who does this! Sure we all have ups and downs and difficult phases, the same as any other relationship, but I dont know anyone that complains like that.

and still annoy us?😉

Oh yes 😂

Do you have any op?

My kids are brilliant, except when they’re not.
Surely everyone complains about something. If you don’t want to read the posts, scroll on by.

It's part of the privilege of having them. You're on Mumsnet where people come to vent. Bringing up kids is a nightmare and a blessing I know from experience having raised an autistic child who was anything but easy and sometimes it was too much but I love them all the same

The fashion in a lot of countries now (Japan, South Korea, increasingly the UK etc) is to not have kids and still complain about them.

And that's going so well for everyone.

Of all the obviously goady posts I've ever read this could quite possibly be the obviousest goadiest post in the history of goady posts.

Congratulations

British moaners for you. Then they go abroad for a couple of weeks a year to let loose and end up behaving so poorly that they're the laughing stock of Europe.

I was thinking that I hear a lot more people without children moaning about them than people with them do.

We all love a whinge about something I suppose, about anything and everything.

I don't have kids, but most people I know have children. I can see how hard it is, and how wonderful it can be, even though it's not my life. Being able to see a glimpse of what is like to live a different way is a valuable attribute, as is being able to hold the notion of complexity, that most things aren't just good or bad.

I dont like kids around me i dont hate i just dont like them.
Annoying buggers and when they eat near me i have to move sloping slushing food falling out coughing over the food etc dirty bastards i cant stomach it.
And loud AND MUMMY CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I mean, to be fair, you don't know how annoying they are until you actually have them. 🤷‍♀️

I just wanted to ruin my body and blame them.

Increasingly they aren't
