Matt Walsh got into an argument with some randos that wanted to make the point that being a parent was hard work and totally a bad deal. Well they long ago have blocked the thread from their side. Walsh has made some good points about the value of being a parent and many people have reinforced his statements with equally mature and measured opinions. I think it’s true that some people shouldn’t be parents. But I base that on the well-being of the children who end up with immature and selfish parents. That is a sin.
I understand feeling overwhelmed, stressed, etc. I have six kids. It’s not like I have some idealized, naive vision of parenthood. But all great things in life can also overwhelm and stress you out. It’s the price of admission. No sense whining about it.
