Honestly, babies sleep and eat. Yeah, you have to keep them clean, but kids? They are emotionally manipulative suicidal nightmares too much of the time, and you still have to keep them clean. (I have a 5 and 7 year old.)

Key phrase was "can be". Kids under 9 are just under that age where they're testing boundaries.

My kid is 12 and the absolute sweetest, best kid ever! He's one of the reason I'll never have another– I'm not risking my sanity with a gamble.

The little kid phase won't last forever! You can make it through!

Genuinely, thank you. Those sparks of creativity, consideration, and joy are absolutely worth more than anything.

Aye! Sometimes it's okay to be like "man, these guys suuuuuuuck". You're not a bad person or a bad parent for thinking it.

Things will get better!
