Family: Why don't Grandma and Grandpa understand our tiredness?
Raising children was certainly also exhausting in the past. But nowadays parents are always complaining. Is that justified?
A woman recently had dinner with her partner and his parents at a restaurant, while her son stayed with her mother. Her partner's father expressed surprise at how tiring it is to care for a small child, saying he couldn't remember it being that way when his own son was young. He suggested that the couple might be suffering from a nutrient deficiency and recommended taking cod liver oil.
The woman noted that her partner's father likely didn't experience the same level of disruption in his life when his son was born, as he continued to work and have a more traditional role.
