Hearing parents complain about their own life choices as though they are martyrs upon him parenthood was thrust by the universe is categorically more grating than any form of advice coming from anybody.
Doesn't sound like the poster is complaining or being a martyr. Just giving a humorous reality check.
There is a lot of well meaning, but completely impractical parenting advice out there that does nothing but make parents feel like failures. The best thing a parent can do in order to maintain sanity is learn to completely ignore 95% of all advice others give them.
Just do the best you can do... that is all that you really can do in the end.
