Yes of course being a mom AND WORKING A FULLTIME JOB sucks because doing anything that effortful and working a job sucks.

Drinking beer and playing video games for 10 hours a day AND WORKING A FULLTIME JOB would also suck.

From everything I hear, being a mom is pretty awesome and rewarding.

But there are only 24 hours in a day and you can't have everything and you have to choose what is most important. Welcome to life.

Then you don’t even read magazines, let alone mom forums, or attend playgroup, or basically hear anything.


Let me guess: you're not married, nor do you have kids, nor do you hang out with people who have kids.


Wrong on every count. And I’m a woman, so I probably have a hell of a lot more exposure to moms than most people pontificating away here.

Here’s the key to understanding-ask what they would change and it’s usually something kid-adjacent but not directly kid related.

For example, grocery pickup at Walmart has been the best gift to mothers since disposable diapers.
