Confusing aspects of parenthood

Babies are confusing creatures. Many a time do I wonder the same thing, to the tune of:

1) why do babies cry inconsolably when they need to sleep? Why not just sleep?

2) how do babies sense when you are about to snooze/have lunch/do anything non-baby and immediately require attention?

3) how can three babies from the same parents be so completely and utterly different?

4) why is throwing things on the floor so exciting to a baby? And how can six year olds perpetually pick them up without tiring?

5) what do people do if they don't have children? What did I do before I had them?

6) why is the world so buggy unfriendly? Shouldn't everything be accessible for wheelchairs and therefore also suitable for buggies? How can they not be?

7) do lazy buggers, who have no children with them but who take the last parent and child space, not think about it? Do they think parents don't really need the space and they have as much right to a generous space? Or do they fully understand why we need the spaces but just figure we can wait until they're gone because for whatever reason, their need is greater?
