I Need to Say This

We are all experts at parenting until we have our own children.

Bottom line: unless you have kids of your own (of a reasonable age) don't judge. One day, (believe it or not - unless you are a pure dictator) that kid in the supermarket having a tanty, will be yours one day. And you will be the exasperated parent.

Tread lightly in shoes that aren't yours.

I remember the first time my son threw a fit and did that hilarious move that kids do when a parent/ guardian tells them it's time to go but they don't want to go. They fall down, start kicking, and crying "No!" Then when they get stood up they make their bodies go completely limp and fall to the floor like they are passed out. Funniest shit ever!!! We were at Disney and our son was 2. It was time leave that part of the park and go eat. My husband told our son, "Come on, buddy. Time to go eat. We are leaving."

Our son went ballistic. Kicking his little legs, screaming no, and falling out. My husband stood him up and the little stinker made his body go limp like dead weight. Hehe! My husband looked astonished. He stood him up three more times same result. Finally, my husband scooped him up and told me to stop laughing and come on!

Now, the funny thing is my husband and I waited many years to have a baby. We read parenting books, took a few classes, planned the pregnancy down to the last detail. We swore up and down all the "mistakes" we saw other parents make we wouldn't. Ha ha ha! We got a rude awakening! We SWORE our kid would be trained not to act up in public. Bbbbbwwwwha ha ha!

Let's just say Disney was NOT the last time our son showed out in public!!! :-)

Ohhhh yes. The 'arched back' while trying to put the seat belt on is another fun one 😁
