The most important job in the world

People say that being a parent is the most important job in the world, but I don't understand this because if it really was such an important job you'd think the minimum qualifications would be a bit higher than "must have own genitals and a pulse".

Also, the gubberment gives me £80 a month for each of my kids, which doesn't seem like a particularly high salary for the Most Important Job In The World. I'm starting to think that perhaps being a parent isn't such a momentous enterprise after all, and that maybe, just maybe, pretty much anybody can do it.

Anyway. On the subject of parenting - this is what happened when my wife tried to convince our toddler to give me my father's day present the other weekend:

    1. The little bastard is annoyingly cute - even when he's having a meltdown he makes me laugh. We'd just got back from a 300 mile drive and 3 nights away from home when this happened, so he was feeling a bit fragile.

Go on, leave a fucking comment, we're all just dying to know what you've got to say for yourself, you self-indulgent arse.
