My Top 3: Things I hate about parenting

This will be a bit of a vent

My Top 3 is a weekly post where I count down three things I love in a random category. This week, we’re looking my top three things I hate about parenting.

I’m not even going to pretend that this issue will find a silver lining. It’s a pure rant on what I hate about parenting right now. Venting isn’t always healthy but I, for one, feel much better after airing my grievances. It can feel really good to just let loose with what is eating at you. It’s a cathartic scream into the abyss that leaves you feeling lighter.

Obviously, there’s a lot that goes in to keeping another human alive and healthy while, hopefully, helping them grow into a kind and independent person. Throw in some mom guilt and an environment of intensive style parenting, and things can get out of hand. Parenting is wonderful in many ways, but certain aspects are just thankless and annoying.
