There are many hard jobs but in my case i would say being a mother, I'm not a parent a husband or anything but being a mother is way too much pressure,those sleepless nights, changing diapers,it a shitty job where people don't have empathy for you while knowing it's hard.

why mothers specifically? As a single father, I did everything mothers typically are given credit for, but with non of the recognition. From "aw, babysitting the kiddo today?" to "You're just a dad. Why do you need a day to celebrate you?" I've heard all the comments.

So I'd say being a DECENT parent in general is hard - it's easy to create a kid and to be a "parent". But actually parenting? That's the hard part, regardless of the specific circumstances.

@SailusGebel might've got this from me, but yes, we are overworked, underpaid, and got demons for bosses. And we have to contend with 'spoiled' parents and their similarly-obnoxious kids.

The only thing left to make it a complete inferno is some mentally-deranged kid to start shooting. Thankfully, lotsa Flips don't own/too poor to buy guns.

Almost any job is hard if you're doing it the right (wrong?) way. But yeah, teaching or any kind of job where you try to educate people but aren't in a direct superior/subordinate relationship.

So, yeah, parenting is a pretty hard job with shitty pay and no holidays, the only thing worse would be a sane person having to deal with politicians...

The hardest jobs out there are jobs that require responsibility. I mainly mean jobs like surgeon or firefighter, though parenting and teaching are a kind of responsibility too. Some work is hard physically, but physical labor by itself is only going to tire you out physically, unlike other jobs that put heavy pressure to get things right and never mess up.

Being a security guard at any German train station, you look away for a second and suddenly feel a needle in your leg.

I have too much time on my hands when I'm not cooking dinner, taking care of kids, changing diapers, yelling at someone for shattering an antique dish, cooking breakfast, reading to preserve my fragmented sanity, preparing lunch, feeling existential dread because it's time for them to get home from school, cursing about the shattered antique that just lodged its fragments in my foot, changing another diaper, staring at the upside down shadow people on the ceiling, or putting children to bed.
