1. Sugar packets are actually a toy.
They provide at least a good thirty minutes of entertainment for small children if you are lucky. Before parenting, I found this entirely annoying as a waitress at a restaurant. How hard is it to bring a toy...? But now I know a parent could bring all the toys in the world but nothing is as good as random chain restaurants sugar packets. (anything to eat a hot meal over a cold one)
2. Leashes were originally made for animals.
But then little Charlie kept running ramped around Walmart and his daddy invented the child’s leash so they’d stop losing him every time he left the house. Charlies dad is now a hero to all parents everywhere. God bless the inventor of the child’s leash.
3. Drooling and or snotty babies. Disgusting am I right?
I did not know that those were signs of teething pre-baby. Lord have mercy the drool. I still think its obnoxious but at least now I know he cant help it I usually just wipe his face and call him a drool box and he baby giggles at me and then my heart melts into a puddle on the floor.
4. It’s really annoying when a kid screams anywhere in public for any reason and for any amount of time.
I personally don’t let my child do that because I know that it’s annoying. If my husband is with me (god willing) he will take him outside and I will finish whatever the task is. If I’m by myself…sorry guys…I gotta get groceries. I swear he’s really cute when that horrible screeching noise isn’t coming out of his mouth. (lucky for me he’s good 99% of the time)
5. Showing up at someone’s house and toys are EVERYWHERE.
Honestly, I pick toys up, like, 5,000 times a day. My son sees my clean up job, looks back at me, and baby babble cusses me five ways to Sunday then throws all the toys back on the floor and takes a seat and watches cartoons (usually the same puppy dog pal’s episode I know that I have at least seen five times). It’s not that we don’t try it’s that the kids are better at messing the place up than we are at cleaning.
…. It's best to just grab a glass of wine and roll with it.
