The Irony

I discovered what I am sure is one of many ironies about parenting. This particular one is about the brand-new cashmere sweater that you handle with great care. The best sweater you've had in years. The one that you justified getting at the holidays because it's on sale and you've lost weight so it's essentially a gift to yourself. The one that you won't wear around your kids because they might touch it with sticky fingers or spill juice all over it. How ironic is it then the when you put it on for a dessert night with your moms group that the waitress spills a glass of wine all over it? I have to say that at least the food was terrific!

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: Adults can be as hard on nice things as children.

    I hope dry cleaning will get the wine out. Sometimes chemicals are good, right?

    Ouch! That is just like my relationship with white shirts.

    Just like the time my HUSBAND got red ink all over our brand new couch!

    Oh, that stinks big time! Sometimes it seems like the more careful you try to be with something, the greater the chances are of having something happen to it. Why is that?! Hope the stain came out!

    but yeah, adults can easily be as bad as children. In fact, I htink CableDad has ruined more nice clothing and furniture than my 17 month old. lol

    Oh no! I hope you laughed because something like that is such cruel fate that you really have to laugh.

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
