People without kids, that come to your place and are all happy cheery around your kids, are just doing that so you dont judge them. (And ofcourse some actually enjoy others kids).
Then they leave after dinner, look over to their spouse, and say "ah finally, dont need to deal with his kids for another 2 months, reminds me why we dont have any"

My moms family friend, had a second child like 15 years later: for context, im really blunt around people.
Every time there was a family gathering, the mom would always ask me why i dont say hello, hold, or engage with her baby / child. If it crawled on me i would usually have a disgusted face.
Mom proceeded to eventually start ignoring me when i said hi to her, LOL.
Its a two way street, keep your dam drooling baby off me, and you will not have to witness me being disgusted by it.

This is is why people will never be rude around your kids in person.
LOL, I'm just imagining donk walking by this baby hanging out of a window and him just leaving the room, thinking to himself, what a dumbass baby, he's totally going to fall.

I mean come on, you don't have to play with the kid, but at least say Hi to the kid.

Just curious, how old are you? It gets so much harder to do the kid thing when you're older. Especially if you don't have grand parents help. I know couples without any help and it's crazy. I didn't realize there are so many grandparents who don't want to help out.
