@Kez – That’s what I was thinking! *SOMEHOW* the parents survive. CLEARLY they must get some sort of super power when they have kids. Because that’s not normal.

@Sandra – Thank you! They are just awesome little ones.

@ADR – I’d be drinking coffee all day long if I had kids.

@Marja – Starbucks helps? Starbucks would be my nanny.

Comments on this one are great! I’m going to have to say I’m pretty sure that’s why most of us aren’t handed a six year old and told to have fun as a parent! We’ve got to ease into this. By the time our kids are six, they know when NOT to talk to mom, when to ask mom for what they want and when to play elsewhere!

Starbucks helps too.

Hilarious stuff. Potential fodder for my a potential post in which I liken parents to people doped up on sleep meds stumbling around after tiny tots. (Kids are like Ambien for parents too. Thank goodness for caffeine.)

“One egg.” Someday that’s going to be the answer to a great mystery…it has to be. That’s the way it works with kids. Of course by then, he will have forgotten it. -grin-

Glad you’re back.

Glad you’re back and had a wonderful trip !

Your niece and nephew sound adorable.

I would still rather take an Ambien.

I spent last weekend with a 3 year old and her 1 year old brother. I was exhausted. Utterly wrecked.
Which I find really embarrassing because our friends live with them EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES and they’re still standing! And the children are still alive! I don’t know how people do it. I really don’t.

I’m laughing at the rest of these comments. Easy to tell who does not have children and who does.

@MissMegs – Dude. My sister has a driver, a nanny, yard people and house cleaners, a husband, two kids, and a huge house to maintain.

I have a dog.
