Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
An exasperated complaint mixing fatigue with mockery. The speaker is tired of repeatedly rescuing someone, then jabs that getting through adolescence at all seems like a miracle. It's insult humor: harsh on the surface, built from a sense of endless rescue duty.
