Not that it excuses any condescension, but it&#x27;s worth noting that all parents have had experience in both the &quot;don&#x27;t have kids&quot; and &quot;have kids&quot; camps.<p>When parents talk (complain, whine) about how non-parents have it so easy, what they&#x27;re really commenting on is the relative change in difficulty they experienced in their own lives when they switched camps, moreso than the difficulty of their life vs. yours.
