English Language & Usage Asked by user371165 on February 12, 2021
As the title says, something that gets across that doing or starting something is unpleasant even though the subject is aware that it will help them in the long run. Less akin to long term commitments and more related to short term things like doing the dishes or brushing your teeth.
A common metaphor is "growing pains".
There might be some growing pains, but they will be worth it.
