parenting

I'm nervous about going down this torturous road again. Still, I figure that when we have our next child, we can soundproof the baby's room before birth.

Alas, I am the lone female in a house full of men. Only two men, but they take up a lot of space.

I call this happiness by proxy

No one ever told me I was great, even just good, just as I was. That’s step one.

Nothing can really prepare you for being a parent. And there is no damn way anything can prepare you for being a step-parent.

I always secretly hoped that having a child would transform me into a more responsible person. I would be a mother! Mothers have excellent dental hygiene, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Sure, I sucked at all that stuff before, but once I had a baby, things would get on track. I would set a good example for my child.

And there are some things missing in my life. Things I was promised on The Jetsons, by Jane Jetson herself. Man, I watched that show and saw the future! That’s where we were headed, my friends. Flying cars were part of the package of the future.
