This way of talking always bothers me and feels inappropriate even as a joke.
Kids can do annoying things, one if my kids dropped a bowl of boiling hot milchigs noodles into a fleishig drawer treifing up half our utensils, but I still wouldn’t talk like that. Kids can be frustrating, require a lot of patience, but al tiftach peh lasatan.

I always say if you see a super adorable/pretty baby/toddler, pity the mother!!!
My kids have done a lot more damage than that, they were just being kids. That doesn't make one want to pull their hair out or say what op said.
2 of My kids have adhd. (One medicated so she can be domesticated LOL

but it is by NO means a magic pill)

It's the daily grind of kids and the more challenging days that makes us say that. You should never understand.

And yes, I have often said, "good thing they are cute or I'd have given them up eons ago.

And yes. I also spend extra on their clothing and accessories and more sure they look just so. It's easier to parent a cute put together kid whos in an adhd sensory overload induced rage than the same kid in shlumpy clothing and crazy hair.

You can say you’re lucky your kids are cute.. but to add or we would give them away is just an ugly thing to say. Just my opinion

Agree. I say that all the time "It's a good thing they're cute" but that's the whole statement. I actually never heard anyone continue it the way OP did.
Also, not all kids are cute.
