But you really can't judge a parent by one glimpse into their lives. Everyone is going to have DAYS or moments with their kids.

I am just saying in general to everyone realize the child you see having a tantrum in the grocery store or restaurant is probably not reflective of their actual life or their parents skills to raise them. They are most likely having a moment.

It is a hard job being a good parent but worth it.

You get a break when you've done your job to raise them to live on their own. Until then, you made the choice to have sex and have kids, so they're your life now.

*For the record, I'm coaching my son's Tee-ball team. I wouldn't miss it for the world.


That lady I saw...I've just never seen someone on a phone AND computer at a sporting event before, in a foreign language on top of it!

I'll pick my son off at preschool if I have a day away from the office and have no one to talk to while waiting because every other parent (mother) is playing with their phones.
