Yes, a lot of parents are assholes. But you know what? A lot of people are assholes; some of them happen to have kids, some don’t. I can’t speak for all parents, and I wouldn’t want to try. But speaking as one particular person with kids, here’s what I wish my childfree friends would understand…

This is your brain on love. And it’s scary.

Being a parent isn’t everything.

In a marriage, should you really feel lonely that much of the time? And if so, then how lonely is too lonely?

Is it possible that talking about your relationship less could actually be the key to making it better? Sometimes, stop talking and just let yourselves be.

Is it hard for you to accept help when you need it?

How far should love go?

The only thing worse than being in a bad mood, is dealing with someone else’s bad mood.

Marriage isn’t a game. But playing one can actually help strengthen it. So, game on!

Is it better to be alone than to be in a miserable relationship?
