Like everyone else here, I can relate. Really relate. I read this one aloud to my wife and commented how much it sounds like me. She said, “to be fair, it sounds like both of us.”

Our poor kids.

I have that feeling way too often. I really don’t want to get used to it.

What parent hasn’t had one of those days. You end up feeling like an asshole for yelling. These are our lessons that our kids teach us…

@Seashore – I’m getting my chance to make things up this morning, after Michael’s bad dream. I’m so tired.

@Melisa – Cool! I coined something.

I have been there, but always feel the need to take the child in a bear hug and get all gooshy – not helpful at bedtime- but maybe quieter than banging my head.

I just made that up, looking for a good analogy. Feel free to use it. I only charge a small royalty fee, per use.

I have never heard that butterfly hunt quote. I love it. I do that more times than I would like to admit.

Oh my gosh, Tom. Great post. We’ve all done it. It’s always interesting to find out that it’s the little things that mean the most to little ones.
