I quite agree... those guys could tell a story (regardless of it being obvious lies).
I also agree it's about subject matter: if someone posts a story about football, a subject I find very dull, I wouldn't post a rant about how boring it is, because it is easy to conceive of some 3rd party (whose hobbies include football) finding the story interesting.

But "other peoples kids" is not a valid hobby/interest for 3rd parties to have... in fact, it's totally weird and unsettling if you are particularly interested in such things. It is not, therefore, appropriate to expect other people to wish to read such stories.

Also, you think anyone on b3ta is worried about sounding like a child? That's like jumping into a swimming pool and worrying about getting damp.

I disagree, whether you have kids is irrelevant, they could be of interest.
You're spot on with your last point though!

Which is irrelevant.
The question is not about peoples kids, it's about moments of joy.

You've projected it into what you're ranting about. It was never what you are arguing it shouldn't be.

People with kids have moments of joy with their kids. They're answering the question.

I never said they weren't answering the question.
I said they were fucking boring answers to the question.

Anyway, I'm bored with your inability to add anything challenging to this thread, and I have shit to do, so I'll just settle for calling you an terribly tedious, todger-titted, toss-testicle, and then go about my day.
