13 Things That Are Easier Than Parenting

It’s funny, you’d think parenting would get simpler as you go. After all, most things tend to get easier with practice.

Not so. Not only are my kids becoming more unmanageable by the day, but the strain of the job itself, i.e., being a stay-at-home dad, is really starting to get to me. Imagine a hammer beating you over the head repeatedly from sunup to sundown. It’s sorta like that.

That said, I came up with a little list of things that, although extremely difficult, are still way easier than being a parent. Enjoy.
