Why are some parents trying to sell the myth that parenting is 100% bliss?

Obviously there are many joys to parenting and it’s not 100% suffering either.

But I’m puzzled by people who participate in parenting forums (this one included) who act like they don’t know what you’re talking about when you ask a question about the stresses and grief that are inevitable aspects of parenting.

Seriously, what’s the motive behind this weird behavior?
