TikTok If you’re pregnant or have ever been pregnant, you know there is a certain type of parent out there. The kind that seem to revel in nothing more than scaring you about parenthood.

PeopleImages.com/Shutterstock Feeding children is not for the faint of heart. I personally have two — a *seemingly* manageable number — and yet nearly every meal has the same amount of tension and blowups as the kitchen of a five-star restaurant (or so I imagine).
