permit ’s be real , nobody can live up to that " World ’s Number One Parent " mug .

Let’s face it, being a parent isn’t easy. In fact, it’s pretty damn hard.

But it still feels like there’s a pressure for parents to have all the answers; stay cool, calm, and collected at all times; and always set a perfect example.

But parents are HUMAN, and there are things about parenting that just plain SUCK.

Like, maybe you feel resentful that your entire identity now revolves around being a mother or a father, and you feel like it’s changed your personality in ways that you don’t really love.

Or, maybe your kid is actually kind of annoying and you feel guilty for feeling that way, but are PRAYING whatever they’re going through is just a phase and they won’t always be this way.

Or, it could be that you hate having to deal withotherparents, and would rather go screaming into the night than make small talk at another playdate.

Whatever it is, I want to hear fromyou, theBuzzFeed Community. Tell me the things about parenting that you actually hate — things you might only tell strangers online. It’s time we talk openly about it, instead of pretending like everyone has it all together.

Your story may be featured in an upcomingBuzzFeed Communitypost!
