omg #7 is awesome. I’m going to do that one regardless of whether I have any more kids.

Yup! Mine’s three and I still look like hell on a daily basis. I’ve admitted to using the car window to dry my hair on my commute … sigh.

Oh, sooooo sooo true! I have an almost three year old and an eight month old. I don’t have a cat, but I’m of half a mind to get one just to test out #7.

You can also just count out any ideas of personal hygiene you have out of your head. It’s really fun to be pooped on, peed on, puked on, have breastmilk leaking down your side, and sweating from all your leftover hormones. Couple that with not getting a shower for three days. Fun stuff, I tell you!

Thanks, all. Currently surviving the Terrible Threes, I find parenting requires a sense of humor! Jolly Green Girl, you’ll be just great, nothing to dread.

Go easy on yourself the first few months!

Thanks for the good laugh. I have a 19 month old and due in August with my second and I have to say #7 made me laugh so hard I thought I caused a contraction.

Thanks for the advice for newbie parents. As someone who’s about to give birth any day now.. it’s nice to infuse some humor into parenthood. I can’t wait but at the same time. I am dreading it. The worst part of all this would be if I did really turn into my mother.

That was outstanding. As a soon-to-be dad, this will serve as my instruction manual.
