I find Louis CK's stories and jokes on parenting hilarious, but also quite comforting. I'm a sarcastic asshole, I always have been, and I've often thought (and in mostly private discussions with close parent friends of mine said similar) funny/sarcastic things about kids.

The hilarity is amplified for me, obviously, because I have a deep connection to the stories he's telling, but the comfort is that he's telling my story in the same way I would and people aren't running him out of the village with fire. In fact they're all laughing too.

Phew, I was (kind of) worried calling babies self absorbed Hitlers meant I was broken- instead I'm just a bad person and I'm okay with that.

I shouldn't have to, but PS, my kids are the best thing in my world and if I was worried they weren't I wouldn't be calling them little atrocity machines. So if you take offense, I'm not sorry.

> People put minimal effort into it.

I don't think that's true. Parenting is much harder than coding and you don't get to check out because you're "burned out".

Listen to Louie, the link is there for a reason, the quote is just an introduction. And don't stop listening after a few sentences, carry on.

Still it looks like lot of people ignore that and have kids expecting them to be just some kind of home decoration.
