Except... a million reasons where they will either not understand, or they should have not become a parent.

The problem with the "The Most Infuriating Answer" is that it entirely neglects facts, and only those say it who do have a good experience with it.

Happy for you, internet stranger. Just like I am happy for all of those around me: you all are the ones who do good parenting.

In case you also want to become a better person in general, I recommend to stop being condescending, and not to say this ever again to anyone. You hurt more than you think you are wise.

> I recommend to stop being condescending

Said in perhaps, the most condescending way possible

I don't see OP's comment as condescending but I'm also not in these "should have not become a parent" shoes to tell, for sure. Insensitive? Perhaps. On a discussion board, it is hard to know who you're talking to. OP likely assumed some "persona" (different to those that might find it hurtful) before they wrote the comment.

> You hurt more than you think you are wise

We are all fighting some demon or the other. I appreciate you for bringing forth the kind most of us are (fortunate enough to be) oblivious to. Ignorance is bliss.
