You would think it’s accepted wisdom at this point: having kids is a difficult thing to do. Before they’ve even popped out the womb, they take over your life with the intention of never giving it back again. 

However, it has to be acknowledged that some parents have it easier than others. If you’re not one of those moms or dads, it’s hard not to resent that their bundle of joy was sleeping through the night at a week old, or loves eating fresh vegetables. Not everybody gets so lucky.

This was the subject of a recent Twitter thread, in which a mom complained that parents who had exactly one ‘low maintenance’ child under the age of two gave the worst parenting advice. Other moms and dads were inclined to agree, with some offering up their least favorite quotes from these so-called advice-givers. They don’t know how easy they have it.
