Can I add Barbies to number three? This is great! Oh, and also, “No parent shall have to endure the comment ‘Four children? Are you done?’ unless they are also allowed to squeeze the privates of offending party…or something like that.

I think we should add that parents have the right to pee in private, and that no crisis are allwed to occur while the parent is in the bathroom…oh and no crying at the door.

I believe that we should add that parents of twins get to smack you STRAIGHT in the face if you tell us tales about how your kids are X month apart and that is JUST LIKE HAVING TWINS.
Oh really? IS IT? IS IT??
okay calming down…….

you can claim sleep deprivation until they move out and are happily on their own and you have no legal responsibilities to them.

at least that’s what my dad says

I love these. I also realy agree with Sarah’s number 11. I’d like to add 12. All parents with kids under 5 should not have to explain to anyone why they have goldfish, cheerios, pacifiers, spare underwears and two red crayon in their purse at all times.

I wish #6 was law.

And I’m still going to claim sleep deprivation, even though Tad is now 13 months old. I swear I got more done when he was 4 months old and couldn’t move, as compared to now, when he can climb furniture and tries to eat newspaper.

PS – Grandmother ROCKS! I loved her comment!
