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?

it gets harder but you have adapted to the preceeding stage.

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
