View submission: What's something you never understood about the opposite gender?
I think it’s probably a hormone thing. Plus the idea of being a mom feels a lot more rewarding than the idea of a career to me. Like the concept of getting to bake my future kids treats after school like my mum did for me, getting to ready bedtime stories, being part of the PTA, and making my kids Halloween costumes feels like it’s worth all of the crummy stuff that comes along with it. I’m very close to my mother and at some point I realized that I wanted a version of that relationship for myself with my own kid

This thread just makes me realize there isn't a single redeeming thing about parenthood for me. All the good stuff sounds like my worst nightmare.
Watching them grow, I couldn't care less, I've watched my siblings grow.
Playing childhood games, I would not genuinely enjoy any of that, especially children's TV shows.
Halloween, Christmas, birthdays, I hate holidays that make you spend money.
I enjoy cooking, but not sweets and I don't want to cook child friendly meals.
Bedtime stories, I could think of a million different things I'd rather do.
PTA meetings, kill me first.
