I'm incredibly dumb in biology but the joke is that hienas, hedgehogs and that specific bird species always leave their children alone and stranded after a certain age?
On the porcupine the babies quills, kinda like horse hooves, are soft at first and begin to harden afterwards but aren't super spiky for a few days. But yeah a split psuedo banana and an egg that is almost literally the same size as you aren't picnics
I dunno, the 'kid is intelligent enough to go to the fridge and get food themselves' and 'kid no longer craps their pants' is a hell of an upgrade. I haven't made it to a point where things are harder than it was before either of those things.
Yeah, at some point it should get easier, but if you have a troubling teen, again, things are challenging in a different way to managing tantrums in a toddler.
to be fair to you, I adapt a lot , some well, some not well, but adapting to the constant resistence and fighting is something I haven't adapted to yet. It's one thing to change a nappy, it's another to change a nappy attached to a screaming, squirming child
I guess it does get easier with subsequent children, your mileage may vary, but also, you do stop giving as much of a fuck if you have more kids, especially if you go from "individual attention" mode to "manage the herd" mode.

I assume the joke is that they have very difficult birthing processes?
Left to right we have

Especially the hyena…
I think that bird is a kiwi
Oh 😦
man... sucks to be a tiny ostrich but lay big ostritch size eggs
it gets harder but you have adapted to the preceeding stage.

Thats my trick, i havent adapted to any stage yet.

It definitely gets different. Easier or harder kind of depends.
Thanks, I was reading this as pertaining to subsequent children, not stages, and was confused
