Summary

This quote highlights the social dynamics and inequalities surrounding the role of parenting. It contends that being a parent, which is often an unpaid and undervalued occupation, is seen as having lower status compared to paid work. It suggests that parents may have less power, influence, and control over resources in society compared to those who are engaged in paid employment. This observation reflects the societal devaluation of caregiving roles and the imbalance of power and resources between unpaid parenting and paid work.

Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.
