I look at some children, then I look at their parents and I think to myself you poor bastards you never had a chance.
Seeing perfectly happy and innocent kids be themselves and seeing their drongo dead shit parents kills me inside.
We have tests for driver's licenses, we should have tests for people becoming parents.
I'm wary of tests.
Pretty sure I have family members who would ace the test because they intellectually know the right answers and can express themselves with authority because they are educated.
But in practice they are not good parents at all because they have shit personalities.
And then there would people who are not very literate or well educated who would stink at a test but who are great parents.
iow, what are we testing and how are we testing?
Test:
Tester: "Do you want kids?"
Testes: "Yes"
Tester: "Wong answer"
