The Paradox Nobody Warned You About
Here's the uncomfortable truth: parents love their children desperately, yet parenting itself often makes them miserable. Studies consistently show that parents report lower happiness levels than their childless peers. They argue more with their partners, sleep less, and experience more anxiety. Yet when asked about life's greatest sources of meaning and joy, 85 percent point to their children without hesitation. This contradiction sits at the heart of modern parenthood-we've created a system where raising children has become more emotionally demanding than ever before, even as children have become "economically worthless but emotionally priceless." We're the first generation to parent without clear scripts, preparing children for futures we can't imagine, while juggling impossible expectations about work, marriage, and self-fulfillment. The result? A parenting experience that feels simultaneously essential and overwhelming, where love and exhaustion exist in constant tension.
