You can sort of forgive a baby for crying (sort of). After all, they genuinely don\u2019t know what the hell they\u2019re doing, and they probably really do need you to help them in some way (good luck figuring out how though). But once your kid can talk? Then it becomes a game of WHY ARE YOU CRYING NOW? Crying because their sock is weird. Crying because they heard a noise, a noise they probably made. They\u2019re thirsty or hungry or have to pee. They\u2019re not tired or too tired or had a bad dream even though you literally left their room 2 minutes ago and heard them laughing from down the hall.

The first rule of parenting is NEVER brag about something your kid won\u2019t do. Never. Don\u2019t even think about it. This is for two reasons: one, it makes you an asshole. And two, you\u2019re pretty much guaranteeing that your kid will do THAT EXACT THING as soon as the words have left your mouth. And then you\u2019re left standing there with egg on your face, but no one will commiserate with you because you\u2019re the asshole who bragged about how your kid would never do something.

HOW. You will never know fear until you\u2019ve cracked one eye open at 3 a.m. to find a child demon\/your child standing inches from your face, staring silently. Like, are they sleepwalking? Are they awake? Are they here to kill you and suck the soul from your body so that they may become more powerful? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
