Agreed. Sounds like something a person would say after lamenting having children, paints fathers as helpless and pathetic. Personally, it's one the most rewarding challenges that one can step up to.


I don't agree. You yourself describe it as a challenge - if it wasn't hard it wouldn't be a challenge.

Of course it's long, it's something you start often in your 20s or 30s and hopefully do for the rest of your life.

Of course it's emotional. It's one of the largest life experiences many of us will go through.

Of course it can be draining at times. It takes a lot out of you, and it can be hard after

Painting people as helpless and pathetic because they're finding something hard and still doing it and while seeking help to improve seems ridiculous.

Perhaps the issue people are having with this is that they're inserting "and not worth it" or "not rewarding" at the end, which isn't there. With "but worth it" added, would so many of you disagree?
