basically, the parents who are fulfilled with their kids, versus the ones who probably needed a 1 year course on how to parent before being granted the privilege to have a child.
I’m not planning to have kids. In fact I have a Dr. appointment today for a vasectomy referral. But if such a class were offered I would 100% take it before having a kid.
I resent your implication that just because I have a great relationship with my kid and I find my family relationships fulfilling that I must know wtf I’m doing.
you resent the fact that someone assumes you’re knowledgeable about raising a loving child?
I’ll just assume you possess qualities that any good parent should have, like patience, the ability to communicate clearly, etc. . . . . these are the type of things I mean when I mention parental knowledge. People learn these over the course of their lives, so it’s likely ingrained in you, not like knowledge you gain from any class.
there are several books available. If you child is healthy, it’s actually a pretty easy learning curve; you have time to read chapters based on the age of your child, and newborns are actually pretty … uninteractive. They slowly develop and you’re there to check the milestones they should hit during that time period and help them reach those milestones.
If your child is sick, disabled etc, good fucking luck. also if both parents are working.

I say this, as a parent.

The funny thing is that I was joking and I am actually HYPER aware of the qualities I model and try to instill in my son.
I guess that’s the one benefit of a lifetime of masking.
