kids

Man, with all the stories about Karens going off on customer service employees and generally depositing large amounts of toxic energy into an otherwise peaceful environment, we hardly ever here from their kids about how difficult it is to have them as parents. This thread peels back the curtain on what it's like to grow up with a Karen as your mom. It's no easy situation. 

To put it bluntly, children aren't completely people. Their brains aren't done cooking yet, and they're absolutely not ready to bear the solemn, bill-paying mantle of adulthood. What you get are some prime examples of how weird and dumb kids are. They get their heads stuck in chairs, throw tantrums when they don't get to eat cleaning products, and climb on TVs. Kids are weird and dumb.

Have kids, they said. It will be fun, they said. Sure, it's all fun and games until your kid smears poop all over the wall. Or they're screaming bloody murder because you cut their sandwich into a square shape instead of a triangle, you monster!
