Mm, How Can I Put This Delicately?

MAKING A BABY IS NOT AN ACHIEVEMENT.

Being a good parent over the long haul, that is an accomplishment.
So to all y'all out there who think that getting knocked up is ipso facto something I should admire you for, sorry. Call me when the kid's 18, well-adjusted, happy with his/herself, and making the world a brighter place.

How boring and embarrassing it is to hear about uninteresting people who think that conception/gestation makes them otherwise.
