Violence against kids is bad enough, violence against your own kids is just too much for me.

While I certainly wouldn’t be up for mother of the year, if I did have kids, I think I’d do OK. I’d do my best to make sure their need for parental induced therapy was minimal, show them the wonder of leftover Chinese takeout for breakfast (hey, fried rice has eggs in it, therefore a breakfast food) and why the beach is the happy place. They would be loved, taken care of and they would never, EVER need to be protected FROM ME. The kicker is that the chances of my ever actually having kids is basically zero.

If you know a parent that seems to be struggling, please reach out.

    I think you’d be a good mother as well, but if I were YOUR kids, I’d be very cautious around the house…

    knowin’ your Karma and such… no glass in the house, and rubber floors to cushion falls…

    yeah…

    and of course, 911 on speed-dial !

    True, going to all plastic might not be a bad idea.

    I saw this on Friday as I was leaving fencing practice. The intersection with 495 there is very normal (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=North+Billerica,+MA&ie=UTF8&ll=42.618691,-71.289446&spn=0.010295,0.016136&z=16&om=1)
    well, at least for Massachusetts.

    I have about 6 weeks left until I join the ranks of parents… wish me luck ;)

    Definitely not a good week.

    I am sure you’ll do just fine with the new addition. :)
