Roundabout way to say “I’m a bad parent”.
I don’t have kids but pretty sure part of being a parent and forming a bond with your child is putting effort into raising them.
That's kind of a childless thing to say lol
I also don't have any either but I have enough friends and family with young kids to know that it's unrealistic to do everything well so you have to pick and choose which parts of your kids' lives are worth the extra effort.
Every parent I know would jump at the opportunity to outsource the tedious crap. Some people love party planning but for most, there is little enjoyment to be found researching and booking a birthday party for a child.
I am a parent. While I don't look forward to the whole planning part, seeing how my daughter has so much fun with her themed birthday parties is more than enough reward. It's also something she'll remember forever.
Being a shitty parent is easy, being a good one takes work but it is very rewarding. It also helps that you bring a better person into the world that way.
