    I shoved 2 kids in over a 13 month time frame and I would never suggest that either. I loved the dressing comment about trying to dress and octopus...so true and my son is a combo between and octopus and a fish out of water flopping around when I am changing him! This list was awesome and spot on btw! You should have added that alcohol consumption is likely to go up dramatically during this time of ones life! :)

    yes alcohol consumption does go up. You notice it a problem when you are on first name basis with the cashier. Of course only after the kids are in bed.

    You are never "ready" to have children. You just hang on to your butt and hope for the best.

    QFT

    This bears repeating.

    Test 4: Dressing small children
    1.Buy a real life octopus and string bag with holes in it.
    2.Attempt to put the octopus into the string bag so that no tentacles come out of the holes.
    Time allowed: five minutes.

    This is unequivocally true in our house... my little one has always done the alligator roll while I am trying to dress them or change their diaper.

    Feeding a three year old:

    - Prepare a healthy, balanced, delicious meal cut into bite sized pieces and cooled to optimal temperature.
    - Throw it into the garbage.
    - Reduce the number of saltine crackers in the house by 10%.

    I don't get it. That's not a joke. Show me one thing she wrote that is an exaggeration or that is portrayed in an untrue, absurd way?
