Don't be stupid, kids. Don't have sex.
Or at least be smart and protect yourself.
It's funny. I love the holy crap out of my kids. Seriously. My heart, my life would be broken without them or my husband. But as many parents will tell you, it's really hard work. Today was one of those really "hard work" days. And so, I appeal to you youngster who are itching to surge those hormones with someone else... be smart. If you are going to do it, use every form of protection that will work together well to ensure that conception does not occur. Because once you have that baby, you will need all the patience in the world to handle when your youngest is waking up every three hours at night, and your son is the anti-listening champ of the world. Because you can love the holy crap out of your kids, but you don't get any more "me" time. Not really. Not 100% freely. They can be away from you, but they're still your kids. You still worry about them. You still wonder if you have brought them up right. You still wonder if they are safe or if they have hurt feelings. You still wonder if you have given them the tools to survive. You still miss them.
And those first few years? They are like being a medical resident: Perform on as little sleep as possible. I am amazed that there aren't more car accidents from the number of parents who are't sleeping well at night and then falling asleep behind the wheel. Because there are some days that the radio is blaring, and I am hopped up on sugar just to make it to school.
So kiddos. Don't be stupid.
IMARogers is not a licensed anything, nor does she play a doctor on tv. She is however, a very tired parent who should be in bed right now, but really needed some relax time. She is stupid for that.
