    The first 3-5 years is incredibly stressful but it gets better as the kids are able to do more things for themselves and aren’t trying to kill themselves 24/7.

        Ooooo you’re about to re-enter the shitty zone in like 4 years when they turn into teens and start calling you Hitler for not letting them shoot fireworks out of the car sunroof.

          no no. I’ll be the one shooting fireworks out of the car sunroof.

          as mom drives and I scream out the top after dropping them off at school, “We love you so much baby! Go do your best!”

      Yeah. I loved it when my kid got down to trying to kill itself (through sheer mind-bogglig stupidity, not igent) less than weekly. It really saves on energy, and makes bigger family adventures possible.

        Just took my 3 year old to the hospital because I thought she had a concussion after climbing her sister’s walker and slipping backwards and hitting her head.

        Turns out the vomiting was from a stomach virus thank god. Just bad timing.

        I’m so tired.
