Y'all always say that but spend the whole time celebrating and anticipating all the events of them becoming less babyBaby first tooth.Baby's first night he/she sleeps the whole night through.Baby's first haircut.Baby's first word.Baby started holding its own bottleBaby starting eating regular foodBaby started using own spoonBaby started to crawlBaby's first steps.Baby finally stopped P***ing and S***ing itself and uses the toilet.Baby is finally old enough to be dropped off at preschool for 6-8 hoursIf the baby years were so wonderful people would be depressed over all these events.

Deanna Lynn Greer (37) and John David Cain (26) were the sellers. The price they asked was $3000. I expect legally adopting a baby costs a lot more than that. Poor baby. :(

Is it only specific children who have specific parents that are worthy of concern/attention/care? Can a heart be so sharply compartmentalized? Ivanka emphasized that she was a mother when she sales pitched for daddy dearest. As if that were important. As if children mattered. Whose children matter and why? Sad that all children don't matter isn't it? :( less

"What are you talking about? I cut it." And he grinned at me and said, "Aren't I entitled to sick pay?" (And before you ask, yes, I gave it to him. Chutzpah should be encouraged.)What have your kids done to you?

Reminded me of my early childhood, back in the 1930s, when I used to think that passing trucks were bogeymen. Do you have any night memories from your early childhood? What about things that disturbed your own children?
