Life with a Young Child
By Glinda
Can kind of suck sometimes.
Yeah, there’s the adorable factor with their big eyes and chubby cheeks and cute babbling.
But sometimes the cute can only take you so far.
Then you’ve got to also contend with the thinking that running out into the street is a good idea, that everything on the floor should be shoved as quickly as possible into one’s mouth while running the opposite direction of the parent, the extreme sport that has become diapering, and complete refusal to sleep on one’s own in one’s own crib.
You know your life is pretty sad when your 8 year old will be attending a New Year’s party and spending the night at his buddy’s house while at midnight, you will be resentfully staring at your one year old who is determined to take up as many square feet as possible on your mattress.
Pity party of one, your table is now ready.

Don’t worry, by the time they’re 14 they won’t want to have anything to do with you other than needing you as a car service

Thanks Phyllis, I’ll have to keep that in mind! 🙂
