I would like to have a child/couple of children someday, but right now I’m practicing on my nephew (3.5) and niece (6 weeks). And TRUST ME, I LOVE THEM. I cannot pass the children’s section in any store anymore without buying them something. They are the two greatest joys in my life. Also, I am a TEACHER, who makes her living with CHILDREN (they’re in junior high, but please don’t doubt the CHILDREN part). If I could get any one of them–nephew, niece, students–to sleep, it would be worth a “booyah, motherfuckers!” (Teenagers are easier to get to sleep than little ones or babies, though. I regret that I can’t let them.)

Jeez. Some people need to lighten the fuck up. Augh.

Holy cow, I just actually read all the comments here. Seriously, Coco from Canada, shut the hell up already. You’re making the rest of us Canucks look like uptight twits. Babies are humans and are therefore capable of being motherfuckers. Also assholes and fuckwits. As long as you don’t call them that to their faces or smack them around, chances are all is well. Give a fellow mother a break. Unless you’re still in that phase where you think your kids are perfect and can do no wrong. In that case, just stop speaking. If the other comments are any indication, nobody is interested in your opinion. Way to explain yourself in a futile mile-long comment nobody wants to read anyways.

Linda, you rock hardcore! Keep up the awesome mommying and blogging.

Oh, I love this. If this is not the truth from a woman who has just ‘had it’, then I don’t know what is. I laughed so hard and can relate so much.

I love the cynacism – keep it coming.

Awww. Okay, I had to stop by to tell you that I met the love of my life via blogging, and he’s an avid reader of yours! (Josh at sprintingtohell.wordpress.com) So natch, I am now an avid reader also! We’re getting all up in the kids-in-a-few-years idea, and my god you’re an inspiration. I think we’ll both be scrolling your pages for advice when we can’t shut the cryholes ourselves :P

I never cussed before I had kids. Now I can make a sailor blush – it’s a good stress reliever.

My parents and down the road – stepfather – were all very ‘good parents’ by the book – no cussing, no drinking, always in control of the kids – expected and got from the kids: no acting out in public, no talking back – I could go on but you get the idea. On the other hand I found their parenting selfish and cold and shallow and abusive in a way that no social worker could ever have noticed. Coco and R would have found them delightful parents – as all people looking from the outside in always did.

I prefer honesty – and having the connection with your kids to feel that level of stress. When you are busy looking like the good parent all the time and making that your goal and focus, you likely aren’t engaged enough with your children for them to bring out anger management issues, I guess.

Having someone who acknowledges that parenting isn’t a soft focus bed of roses in a funny and honest way is refreshing to me.
