Hehe. I understand that the way I wrote my comment might have seemed tactless, crude and crass. Apologies.
Please do not misunderstand me. I perfectly understand that people find babies extremely cute. I do too. Hell, if we as a species did not, the both of us would not be here writing comments.
Being a parent is indeed stressful, frightening and tiresome and I am glad that you recognise this fact. I would not know this personally due to the fact that I am not a father. However, I am self aware of my own actions. I have caused stress and fear in my parents. This would be enough to throw a person of any undertaking. However, children are cute; they are bundles of joy and parents view their lives as more complete with kids. If I had any, I would rationalise it the same way as any parent would. "It's my kid. He/She is so cute. Look at it play".
However, parenting does come with an immense cost and people do rationalise their suffering. Pointing that out was the intention of my comment. However, I do not think kids are bad/malicious/horrible. They are great. They just require a lot of upkeep.
Anyway, congratulations on having your kid. Things get a lot less stressful as they age.
