Traveling a lot allows me to people watch. Like the time while sitting in a cafe below Neuschwanstein Castle I watched a woman trade bites of food with her little purse dog using the same spoon.

I don’t get why people have kids if they don’t want to actually parent. I told my son since he was a little guy that he was my favorite person on the planet, but I’m not here to be his friend. I’ve got friends. I’m his mom, it’s my job to make him a functional member of society and get him through childhood with as little trauma as possible! Lol

You go, mom!

Years ago, back when I only had 3 children, I worked with a young newlywed girl who told me that her first child will be a boy, his name will be blah, blah, blah and "he's going to be my best friend". I stopped her right there and said that is the worst idea ever and explained why. She listened to me but I don't know if it sunk in. If she didn't listen, by the time she realized her "best friend" was running all over her, she probably figured it out.

It depends on where you live. I've been in places where the tap water was great. Our tap water sucks.
