Having children an achievement? |
| Why do people value parents over other people? |

So? Be thankful to your own parents, not the whole of society?

My parents aren't the only people to give others the gift of life.

Not everyone can 'do it'. for many it is and achievement and i think it is a miracle every time someone is born

I believe that having children is an achievement. A lot of people get pregnant, and don't even have their kids, so when someone actually follows through and does what they're supposed to do, it's pretty damn amazing. By the way, my daddy is a landscaper, and a parent. I don't see anyone putting me before him....

Having a succesful child is an achievement and having a skilled trade isn't as big of an achievement because you're not taking care of a human life day in and day out. You go for 8-10 hours and get a break. Parents work all day and night. We never get a break. Work 24/7 and we'll give you more credit.

I feel like I can kind of see where you're coming from. A few of my friends have kids, and it seems like people always want to be so nice to them, buy them things, take them out, etc. Suddenly everyone wants to be their friend and give them hugs. When someone finds out that so-and-so has a kid, suddenly I'm not so interesting, and all people want to talk about is children (or perhaps it's just that all PARENTS want to talk about is their children?). At the same time though, I do think that raising a child successfully is the hardest job out there, definitely not something I am ready for. I think that, in a way, parents are really unrecognized for their hard work (after all, most children treat their parents like crap once they're over the age of 10).

So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Aw!),
Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!)
