So many parents are constantly trying to one-up others. It's a common refrain for parents to tell childless people, "You think you're tired now; wait until you have kids." I understand why people say this, but it's misguided. You often have no idea what is really happening in someone's personal life, and acting like their life is a walk in the park just because they don't have kids is silly. Maybe you didn't have "real problems" before your children, but that's not the case for many people.
Even when the person being one-upped is a parent, this type of person will always find something that makes their life sound so much more difficult. "Having one kid is easy. Hit me up when you have three, and tell me how fun it is." The mom in this story not only acted like her life was so much harder than her brother's but also said he wasn't a real parent because he only had one kid.
