one such commercial on TV says something like" the great thing about being a parent is you become a human vending machine"! Ummm, THAT'S "great"??!! The pictures show a pyramid. of yogurt cups in the fridge, and the (presumably) kid grabbing for the specific flavor it wants from the middle and just leaving the toppled containers where they fall (of course). Then, the brat presumably goes on to trampoline on the couch and spill the yogurt all over the place? Message: "good parunts" must never, ever correct rude and destructive behavior!

Anyone that says 9 kids didn't set their career back has someone else in the background doing the majority of the parunting. Most people are struggling with 1 or 2 kids.

Absolutely. Child care is being outsourced so Moo can have a career. Which is fine, but not everyone can afford a nanny or daycare for multiple brats. I remember Chris Pratt being in headlines saying, "just have kids!" and don't think about it because kids are just so great and terrific. Yeah easy for him to say - he's fucking famous and probably has someone he pays to raise his kids for him.
These people act like everyone has access to the same money and resources as they do. A lot of people are in a position where they have to decide if they want to eat or keep the lights on every month. And if they do think they can afford a nanny or a sitter, they want to pay them slave wages and think they're being generous offering that much.

Sounds like that whole crock of shit where people will go, "Durr hurr, if you wait until you're ready to have kids, you'll never have them!" And what exactly is wrong with that? What possible benefit is there to having kids you can't deal with physically, mentally, or financially? Because it's not just you who will suffer the consequences of being ill-prepared for the responsibility of a child. The kids you have that you're not ready for will also suffer from having inept parents.

Here is another one with the "downsides" to not parunting:
