    Don't link the Edmundson article. I read it for you, you're welcome.

    Boring parents are just boring people who finally have something to say they think others might be interested in hearing. Thanks for setting them straight.

    This article reminded me of a photo I received from a close relative with their new baby who had just defecated on them as they posed laughing. Everyone with kids in the room thought it was hilarious. There are indeed some things in life I'm content not understanding, especially if children are requisite.

    The title of that Edmundson article from the previous poster nailed it. After a reading a third of it..."Enough Already." Hey Dr. Edmundson, if you find everyone around a bore, you're likely the problem. There are very few articles I've ever started and not at least skimmed to the end; congrats, you made the list.
