I w... Interesting article. (The Atlantic, that is.)<br /> I would venture a guess as to why these women are "unhappy" is that not only do they have an unrealistic expectation of parenting, but maybe they thought that parenting itself would be the cure for their own unhappiness.<br /> This is wrong, of course, as any parent who has brought a child into the world as an attempt to solve their marriage problems would know. <br />I could be off the mark, but I bet that these unhappy women imagined child rearing as only a selection of honor rolls, birthday parties, and the pitter-patter of little feet.<br />Then came the dirty diapers, runny noses, the asking to borrow your car on Friday night, and the learning of new 4 letter words to offend Grandma. (Not nessisarily in this order.) There goes the high expectations. ( My 4 year old turned to me the other day and said "Daddy, you're such a dooshbag." I was too busy laughing to punish her.)<br />Parenting is, of course, a combination of the good and the bad. And, in my opinion, it's worth the ride.<br /><br />James FeltonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
