Why do people make becoming a parent so negative?
I feel like even though people congratulate us on our pregnancy (We are in our 20's, both graduated from college, and have been together over 8 years), I still hear comments like, "Better get used to a mess." "Better get used to screaming and crying in the middle of the night." "Better get used to spending all your money on diapers." Etc. Etc. I understand becoming a parent changes lives and some of these things are certainly true. I just don't understand why people can't share the amazing positive things about it as well. I always hear these negative snotty comments as if we never thought of those things before deciding we want to be parents. It is really getting under my skin!! At my Grandma's memorial my Aunt's granddaughter was crying and my Aunt says to me, "See what you've done? You get to deal with that shit now. Stupid."
