Raising kids is like Training your husband, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again.
Kids get mean mommy.
Husbands get Dominatrix.
Same thing- different outfits.

My mother tells me this. About me of course.

I understand. After my divorce I didn't think I would get married again. It was just too devastating. One of the reasons we took 12 yrs to finally get married; we kept talking ourselves out of it, kept finding reasons to wait. lol
My husband and I refuse to succumb to failure of any kind; the fact our first marriages failed made us terrified of doing it again. But after 12 yrs we had survived military life and everything else couples have to work through. We came out stronger for it.

These threads on child care/raising always crack me up.
you always find someone that has a newish child, and suddenly the moment the baby plops out the clam, they are experts on children from day one to middle age.
The reality? children are different, children change as they grow.
What you think is right today you may find out is wrong tomorrow.
There are no experts, there is nobody here (including me) that has a better grasp on it than anyone else.
But the biggest fraud of the advice crowd is the one giving advice on how to handle a 5 year old when their own oldest is maybe 1.
Be careful who you take advice from, be it medical or child rearing.
People do like to pretend to be experts on this stuff.

I am just a pain-in-the-ass.
Somehow he is still in love with me.
men have a scale
on one side is the pain in the ass tray
on the other side is the pretty tray.
if the pain in the ass tray is heavier than the pretty tray, no need to deal with that female.
If the pretty side is heavier than the pain in the ass side, then she is a keeper.
other things that can help way the pretty side are BJs and ability to make a sandwich and willingness to have a cup holder and ashtray glued to your head.
Im here to help.

Mine will tell you flat out- “She is a PITA and High Maintenance! But I wouldn’t trade her for anything.”

Why do people do this, aside from getting paid per child?

I don't feel Mommy guilt anymore. I run for the door to get away from them, especially on Mondays. I'm such a horrible mother.

Very true, but everyone has a different perspective on things. What works for one child MAY work for another, you'll never know until you try.
There are quite a few of us here with munchkins right around the 2yo mark and I love talking with them because it reassures me that I'm not as terrible a mommy as I think I am when my kid is pitching fits and rolling around on the carpet screeching.
I like hearing from the experienced ones that this phase shall pass. I may have (more) gray hair and be in a straitjacket, but dammit... it'll pass.
Everyone has different ideas about discipline and how they do it. What I'm doing right now isn't working, the other ladies do things differently and perhaps something they've shared will be more effective. If absolutely nothing else I have people that I can cry on.

Karen loved children. She and her husband (he owned his own business) wanted a house full of children. She has been a foster mom for over 40 yrs and fostered a ton of children.
The most important reason for her was, “I have the means to provide a loving home, it is my duty to help the children that need it.” (I know because I asked her what you asked me)
And she is an amazing woman, active in the community, and religious, whole nine yards. She fell in love with Tony (foster son) and adopted him. Then Tony’s mom had another kid, Brian, and the state took Brian away. Since Karen had Tony the state asked her if she would take Brian…and this repeated 6 more times until Karen had all 8 of the brothers and sisters together.
Karen has strong family values and wanted to keep the kids together so she began adopting them. In the process, she had four of her own.
Now I should state these kids are not normal kids. These kids are special needs. They have problems that stem from a crack addicted mother who used until the day she gave birth. But even so, because of the love Karen provided them, they just might turn out ok. **Here’s hoping**
