Pearl - Muffins Don’t Fix Being a Bad Parent

00:00:00.000 We have a hard time being a nice person, right?

00:00:02.840 We have a hard time, like, just being pleasant.

00:00:06.080 Like, that's very difficult for us.

00:00:08.640 You know, not being a bitch, not nagging. 1.00

00:00:11.740 So what we like to do is buy things and hope you forget all of the bad things we do.

00:00:18.440 And men are easily, like, guilt-tripped.

00:00:20.780 And kids can really, I mean, they can be bought, right?

00:00:23.900 I mean, it's like, you buy my sister concert tickets to Adele, she forgets.

00:00:28.820 you know um so yeah and that's easier than again the hard thing which is like character building

00:00:37.080 like men if they don't build their character they get beat up by other men they get taken

00:00:41.880 advantage of by women like the life happens to them but women we can just be like nah that's too 1.00

00:00:46.840 hard I enjoy being involved in my children's activities and in their lives but I also know

00:00:51.420 they don't need me cheering them on at every game creating scrapbooks for every milestone

00:00:56.180 or welcoming them from home from school with fresh baked muffins in order to feel loved and

00:01:02.480 grow secure into well-rounded adults. While they are central to my life, my world does not revolve

00:01:07.940 around them. I'm sure they love hearing this. Can you imagine reading this? Did you see what

00:01:12.180 your mom wrote about you? She said her life does not revolve around you, nor do I believe it would

00:01:21.880 serve them any better if I did.
