TT – FUNNY PARENTING: THE ART OF LEAVING THINGS UNDONE...
This GUEST POST about funny parenting was actually written by a friend of mine that I am very thankful for….she is one of my friends I have who are side splitting funny.
Their gift of humor is truly a gift from God and is sooooooooooooooo helpful when everyday life builds up too much….they stick a pin in my frustration and POP!! I am laughing at my own problems and theirs…
So here is the article about funny parenting…if you like it please comment below & I will encourage her…
Parenting: The Art of Leaving Things Undone
Here's an excerpt:
You finally landed a reliable babysitter. You and your spouse are bathed and dressed in stain free clothes; wife has makeup on, husband is wearing cologne. Reservations are made in your name at your favorite restaurant, and that great new movie is out. With car keys in hand, you successfully execute a clean exit when…
the toddler starts to wail uncontrollably and your eldest child simultaneously screams from the driveway with what appears to be an injury that requires stitches.
Looks like it will be a peanut butter and jelly at midnight after the emergency room, and you get to watch yet another great movie – after it comes out on DVD.
Sound painfully familiar? The one child that MUST vomit every time you travel more than 15 minutes from home, usually when you forget to bring extra clothes AND you’re already late.
The 2 year old that transforms into the Tasmanian Devil ONLY in public or at your boss’s house.
The Princess that found mommy's purse and decided to give herself a complete makeover: on your white carpet, in the middle of the living room.
The potty trainee that delights in ripping of his pull-up after each poop, and running around the house like a howler monkey.
The picky eater that screams in sheer panic every time she identifies a food particle on her plate that may still possess nutritional value.
The escape artist; from cribs, car seats, high chairs, strollers, shopping carts, gates, clothing and the occasional restaurant.
The cat napper who sleeps a whopping 45 minutes between 1:00 am and 10 minutes before the alarm goes off, but can manage a 6 hour tour de force while you pay the baby sitter to watch cable.
The little guy that wears his meals more successfully than he eats them, including boogers and whatever that was he picked up off the floor at Walmart.
Ahhh the joys of parenting….

sounds like my brother.. After every attempt at a night out my parents would sit in an emergency room awaiting stitches. I am fortunate that the only sitters we have are parental units. Good luck on the parenting thing.. It sounds as though you may need it!
