Something I could relate to on pointless banter? What will you guys do next, hire a woman? Excellent post, Matt. My five year old has this knack for turning the should be 60 second task of putting on shoes into a 15 minute ordeal. I think I have lost years off of my life over this. Sigh. <—-crazy single mother.

Excellent post, Matt. My five year old has this knack for turning the should be 60 second task of putting on shoes into a 15 minute ordeal. I think I have lost years off of my life over this. Sigh.

To be fair, I was already crazy. I decided a year before we tried to have him that Conservative/Libertarian political art is my calling. As hard as it is to be mom, and it's the hardest thing I ever did, it's nothing compared to dealing with the Atlanta art community. I love my son and we have tons of fun, but it can be exhausting. Luckily, he usually keeps it together until 4pm when he spends the next 2 hours asking for dad and bullying me to play super heroes, etc. Luckily, I always have crazy hair color going on, so I don't have to dress up.(currently turquoise and purple stripes) If he wasn't in school from 9-3, I might go postal. I definitely don't advise anyone to have kids they don't want. If you do want them, they are worth it. I am one of those crazy stay at home moms with a 4 yr old son. To be fair, I was already crazy.

He did braids and ponytails and he was a lot nicer with the knots. Yeah. I'm sure your little girls secretly enjoy the bonding time. That was a sweet post Matt E. You're thinly veiling your soft spot :P From a whole hell of a lot of childcare jobs, I absolutely HATE modern day children's programmign though. Whatever happened to good old Captain Planet and Tom and Jerry? Actually when I was little I prefered it if my dad did my hair. He did braids and ponytails and he was a lot nicer with the knots.

Put another way...relax. Hell, even I recognize Matt's feeble attempt at sarcasm.

There's too damn many people, after all and if taking care of kids is such an aggravation, I think most of us would be best off if we didn't bother.
