“Dads are no more than babysitters.
Don’t ask a dad if he is giving mom a break today.
Don’t assume dad doesn’t know how to settle down their child.
Don’t stare at dad at the park when dad is there with his kid(s).
And for God’s sake, can businesses install a change table in the men’s washroom!”

My mother did it to us as children, and it only ever escalated the situation.
The kid is still screaming, now also scared, crying, and soaked.
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?”

I needed the closure.
She made my life hell, especially since she had two kids after me that she loves.
I suppose I can thank my mother for showing me how not to be."

“That staying together for the kids is healthy.
“That love, respect, and fear are the same thing.

“This destructive myth that we are OWED respect and love from our kids NOPE!
They are attached to us, yes, but love and respect are earned.
Fear is not respect, and guilt is not love.
We chose to have kids; they had no say in the matter.
It is incumbent upon us to reach them by mirroring the behaviors we value.”

Maybe millennial parents forgot how traumatic that was.
Kids today can’t survive without financial support, at least.
Parents, listen up: KIDS ARE A LIFETIME COMMITMENT.

“Giving drowsy medication will check that they get a good night’s sleep.
Thankfully, it’s legally considered child abuse now.
We all need supplements, or we crash hard after staying up for three days straight.”
