Equity does not exist in households where women make more!

Mom with kids on vacation "Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce."  When She Makes More ,  Farnoosh Torabi Prince is one of my favorite artists. And, I think that it is genius that the beginning of his famous song, "Let's go crazy" mimics a marriage ceremony. It makes you wonder whether he was suggesting that marriage itself was a path to insanity. If you have forgotten the beginning, here you go, "Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life, It means forever and that's a mighty long time, But I'm here to tell you  There's something else..." He writes the afterworld in the blank. However, a recent study suggests that "marriage" could be inserted in its place, especially marriage for high earning women.

Are children just small crazy drunk people???

on
While watching E! last night I read that someone tweeted, "Children are like crazy, drunken small people in your house". I totally agree.

Since becoming a mom I have learned that children can be erratic and hard to control, just like crazy, drunken people. When children engage in this erratic, hard to control behavior, they get on everyone's nerves, but they seem to think that their behavior is normal. Children wet their pants at the most inopportune times. And frequently create messes that other people are forced to clean up.  And in the morning, children seem to have no recollection of their misdeeds from the night before.  Sound familiar?!

Last night my baby went crazy.  For whatever reason,
 she abandoned her calm, good sleeping demeanor and became a crazed little monster.  She was crying uncontrollably--the ugly cry.  She was shaking and refused to be consoled.  I offered her the pacifier.  She usually takes it and it soothes her.  Last night she smacked it out of my hand and knocked it to the floor.  When I managed to get it into her mouth she took it out and threw it across the room.  She kept trying to leap from my arms like she was trying to run away.  Here's the thing though, she can't walk yet.  Where exactly did she think she was going?!

I have no idea what got into her.  She did the same routine at midnight, 4:00 AM and at 6:00 AM.  She was completely out of control!

I think that I failed the mother test though.  I failed to control the situation.  At every juncture she was in control and I was her subject.

When 7:15 AM arrived I was worn out and she was laughing.  I am convinced that not only are children like crazy, drunken small people in your house. They completely have you hostage.  #lovingmycaptor!!!
