A Schmallmark moment

Step-parenting has got to be the most thankless job in the world. Even counting those jobs which sniff out underarm odor, or test other people's turds for signs of disease. But then these are paying jobs so perhaps they shouldn't count. I can't think of any parallel to step-parenting. Wait a minute. Being a worker bee comes close. Slave and toil to make honey and along comes some schmuck in a net and steals it, puts a lid on it and says he made it. Yeah, that about covers it.
