1. this has been with me for a while: many parents out there are stressed out way too much and really don't seem to enjoy their kids. i see this all the time, but mostly when we go to places like the children's museum, zoo, or park. i will never understand the parent who just lets their children tear ass around unattended while they (the parent) sit and do nothing but talk on their cell phone. this seriously makes me livid. I don't know why, i just have a physical reaction every time i see it. PUT THE FUCKING PHONE DOWN AND GET YOUR KID DOWN FROM THE WALL! or stomping around after the kids, clearly in a pissed off mood and having no patience at all for kids (this is mostly true of parents of toddlers).

news flash: toddlers are ridiculous. expect them to be. this is especially true when you take them places where they will see other children, will be out of their element, will be hungry/tired, will be excited, etc.

2. matt's mother dreamed i was pregnant last night. the last 2 nights i dreamed about peeing on pregnancy tests. i know i said something along the lines of an immaculate conception being possible after seeing The Dark Knight the other week but this is getting a bit silly. . .

you should have seen some of the uninvolved parents i met when i was interviewing for nanny positions in NYC. It was like they wanted the kids to just be adults already and until then they wanted someone else to do all the work. i always wonder if sometimes those parents regret having a nanny.
