Being a new parent of almost 3 months
I mostly agree with the sentiment on this page, I hope I would never take advantage like some of those mentioned.

But, you non-breeders have to realise:
Children are not self-sufficient and they often break down. We mothers (and it is usually the mothers) have to be on hand and they are more important than work.
They are the most important things to us, and we rarely have anything else going on so sue us if we talk about them - having said that, I am glad that none of my friends have kids, so I can talk about something else.
And to the asshole who tutted at me in the bank when my baby was crying; there isn't an off switch, ok? The noise annoys me too and I don't know what was wrong with her. You only had to put up with it for about 3 minutes, I'll have whenever she see fit for about another year and a half before she can tell me what's bothering her.
