The disturbing thing is how many women come in Stride Rite asking if we have heels for their four year olds.
Like, "Oh! She wants to have shoes like mommy!"
To which I have never replied, "Does she want crabs like mommy, too?"
I think there's a buffer for short skirts and shorts. They're cute on babies. About age of four, your kid isn't a baby anymore and other little kids are going to notice and parents are going to be scandalized. So buy the shorts a little bit longer.
It's about the age that kids need to stop running around their brothers and sisters naked.
It's different when you spend a lot of time cleaning diaper mess off of kids. And bathing them. It is awkward at first. Well. Sort of. I guess I have a really strange and uncharacteristic maternal instinct.
Some people don't. I honestly wish I didn't because children are fucking annoying. It's the first day of my period and every part of my body hurts but there's no day care so I've spent all day with the kids, trying to clean my mother's house and they keep asking ridiculous questions and demanding to be held and fed and I can't curse in front of them so I've been silently wishing my ovaries would shrivel up for more than one reason and also maybe that I had a sedative. But even if I did I couldn't take it because then who would watch the children?
