Does It Get Easier?

The kids have absolutely jumped in age, and I keep thinking, "does this get any easier?"

I asked my father.

He said, "I'll let you know."

Great.

Not a Diary

This isn't a diary. I promise. This, instead, is a collection of my thoughts, and thoughts I've collected from other parents.

That said, I'm definitely going to talk about my kids. They're insane. I went on Google and searched, "are all 3yo assholes?", and the response was pretty much consistent: no! They're not assholes. They're just three years old.

Interesting.

I'm not sure what goes through the mind of my kid, but if I did, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't fully understand it. I comprehend the idea of "want", obviously. But what about the lack of understanding of "no"? What's up with that?

Parenting. Trying. Let's get this started.

Kids are goddamned crazy. Don't get me wrong, they're wonderful. But they're awful.

You don't have to agree with me.

For me, it's those times that I think my experiences aren't shared. That I'm alone. Even with a partner to help, or who does the lion's share, I feel siloed. It doesn't have to be that way. I'm in it with you. And you with me. We're in this together.
