This is funny, being the mom of adolescents and early twenties (whom are really not much more than adolescents in my book) listening to the comments from moms of young ones.
Me: Well, I have to get going, Taylor has a project to complete and she needs to go to her friends to complete it.
Them: What?!!! If my kids were going somewhere, I woulda left along time ago!
Me: Well, yeah, but it is to the point where, believe it or not, I am begging for her to stay home.
Them: Pfffttt, I doubt that will ever happen. I just want to pee in private--once.
Them: How did you ever do it with 4? I can't handle the two I have?
Me: I don't know. I drank alot? Not really, you just can't believe how fast time goes and all of a sudden you are at their graduation. Really. Maybe I was just on auto pilot.
Them: You're right. I don't believe it.
Them: Geez, you got your 13 year old a phone? I will NOT do that!! What does a 13 year old need a phone for?
I don't even argue that one because about a year ago, I agreed. Now, I have a fit if she doesn't have it on or doesn't answer it.
Them: I don't give my child any sugar at all. I don't want her to be fat. I don't want her to develop a taste for it.
Once again, the comment stays in my head. There are just some things that people have to learn themselves. Really, unless you will be homeschooling, they sell the stuff in the hallways. Good Luck. But, I guess the longer you keep them off it the less they have had it--makes sense. Plus, note the "child". When you only have one it is easy to stay on track. I think anyway. By the time my 4th (or could have been my third) came along, I didn't sterilize the pacifier when it fell on the floor at Target, I wiped it off on my pants and popped it back in. Crazy, huh?
There are many more and I will add them occasionally. It is funny to think that I once thought those thoughts.
