That said, the best parents I seem to meet are the ones who really doubted their parenting abilities. They just seem more conscientious or something.<br /><br />Just don't buy one of those Humvee-sized obnoxious baby carriages and block the sidewalks with other danmoms, or I'll have to eat my words!Fuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890561725918230802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-3320190904204257212010-10-19T10:29:07.077+02:002010-10-19T10:29:07.077+02:00Dude..you will be an awesome mom.

You are way more patient than I and you know how to use duct tape, which is a key ingredient in proper parenting. <br /><br />I should note...midget is told daily that I may sell her to the gypsies or trade her in for a puppy. And also that if she wasn't so lazy, she could make her own insulin and I wouldn't have to give her shots...and she's mostly okay. Okay, she's a lot like me, which means she's not at all okay, but you know what I mean. She certainly doesn't thinks she's entitled to anything and she knows damn well that I will tolerate no tantrum throwing nonsense.<br /><br />Of course, she's past the tantrum stage and is now in the eye-rolling, foot stomping phase, which I pretty much just ignore.<br /><br />I am so effing excited you've finally decided to spawn. And you have the midget's endorsement as well. She actually said "...Best. Mom. Ever." And on one hand I wanted to hug her for thinking you were so awesome, but on the other hand I wanted to chain her to her closet for not voting ME the best mom ever...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02432041328889618278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-71117667189565473962010-10-18T21:39:28.618+02:002010-10-18T21:39:28.618+02:00Okay, I've never commented even though I'v...Okay, I've never commented even though I've been reading your blog for awhile. But I loved this post to much to keep lurking. <br /><br />I am totally the un-Mom kinda Mom. I didn't want kids, I was having to much fun partying and vacationing and running off on a moments notice. But at 27 the ovaries started yelling at me and those womanly insticts forced me to get knocked up. <br /><br />Everytime my daughter hurts herself I ask her if it needs to be amputated. I tell her daily that I'm going to trade her in for a mute child. I tell her that Santa passed away becuase she was so bad she gave him a heart attack and I frequently threaten to leave her at the store like puppies in front of Wal-Mart. And you know what. She's not ireperably screwed up (give her time though she's only three). <br /><br />She's my favorite person in the world. She laughs at all my jokes, loves to sing at the top of her lungs in the car with me and there is nothing like those chubby arms wrapping around your neck and whispering "I love you Mommy" in you ear. I think the coolest kids are raised by the women like us. My kid goes to school with nothing but children of snotty yuppy supermoms. And none of their kids can do a perfect rendition of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" <br /><br />In fact it turned out to be so much fun I'm doing it again :) You'll be amazing and your kid will have a wonderful adventerous life.The Stewart Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198103435733907840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-14451476519832978722010-10-18T18:48:22.726+02:002010-10-18T18:48:22.726+02:00I hate it when people look at a mom and say, "...I hate it when people look at a mom and say, "how do they do it?" I say, because they have to ! Jesus! It's their life, and as anything new and permanent in our lives, we adjust, take out, move around, and generally, life our lives. I have 4 sisters, each with kids, and their lives have evolved to include kids and all the stuff that comes with them. I, as an Auntie to 27 kiddies (most are adults now) have had, and still do have so much fun with these kids. If my man wanted kids, you bet I would be popping one out. I think our combined genes deserve to make a confident, well-adjust human being!Sue G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796747936772028681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-12416762522996432232010-10-18T11:22:53.831+02:002010-10-18T11:22:53.831+02:00With the contents of your bag, you could go to the...With the contents of your bag, you could go to the moon, mommy hood will be easy peasy!<br /><br />I love dooce.Junehttp://shetalkslikejune.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-52765271471920352752010-10-18T07:21:51.894+02:002010-10-18T07:21:51.894+02:00The same as Jacki, getting pregnant was very unexp...The same as Jacki, getting pregnant was very unexpected but once munchkin was here it was rather cool. I'm sure not a traditional mom (though I do bake lol) and treat him as the individual he is rather than a kid who's a pain. I'm sure that yours will be like munchkin, in that he will know what a Dalek is or how to vanquish those pesky vampires and hum the theme song to Star Wars while playing - all before starting kindergarten. You will be a very good mother as well as a fun one.

I always loved other people's kids, but I never wanted any of my own. <br /><br />But then when I got pregnant with Emma, I got excited about the prospect of a mini-me. Someone I could nurture and share my love of reading and learning and exploring. <br /><br />And now I don't know what I would ever do without her.<br /><br />We should start a non-Mom's club. I am not your typical mom, either. I mean, I let Emma watch Glee, but refuse to let her watch SpongeBob.<br /><br />And I know you will be an awesome mom!United Studieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605529272895583783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-34043137356848164972010-10-17T21:24:38.083+02:002010-10-17T21:24:38.083+02:00Thank goodness for this honest post.
To tell you ...Thank goodness for this honest post.<br /><br />To tell you the truth I have the same musings too (about children and getting pregnant) from time to time but the desire almost always went poof in the air because the fact that I don't like little children (or babies).<br /><br />Now you tell me that this is possible, that it can be done :pthisindonesiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-19785687919094566622010-10-17T20:53:22.661+02:002010-10-17T20:53:22.661+02:00You DEFINITELY have what it takes to be a cool mom...You DEFINITELY have what it takes to be a cool mommy :)<br /><br />xxxxxBABShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116947589073027708noreply@blogger.com
