I'd argue absolutely no parent has any idea what they're doing when they have their first kid, because it's borderline impossible to know how all encompassing it's going to be. Mostly they're just grumbling because it is hard work a lot of the time. I say this absolutely without judgement on people who don't want to have kids.

Also, every kid is different. Some are easy to take care of but others are stuff of nightmares.
