Bad Dad Part II
I know I said I was a bad dad when I said Caleb looked like an alien to me (by the way, he has grown out of that stage).
But I am a really bad dad because I can’t wait until Ava will sit down and watch TV. She is a major mischief maker and if a cartoon or other kid-friendly show is on, she has zero interest, which makes life difficult because she is constantly into stuff. And by stuff, I mean mess making, dangerous, or easily destructed sort of stuff.
So I can’t wait until she is willing to be a vegetable in front of the TV with Grace.
I am Kristin and I am a Bad Mom…
I want my 20 month old to watch TV too, at least long enough so that I can go to the bathroom by myself. Is that too much to ask?
I know somebody who is VERY likely to agree with you.
Okay, so let’s just tally up the number of mischievious/naughty (though I don’t like to use that word) things that Ava has done this week which includes the following:
Open a new bottle of conditioner and pour it on our carpet
Use my favorite tube of MAC lipstick as eyeshadow
Fill up bowls full of water and pour it all around the bathroom (our bathroom is carpeted)
Headbutt Caleb repeatedly (minimum of twice daily)
Color all over the walls along our stairs with Crayons (oh, wait that was last week)
But she is also really sweet and does cute things too. I am hoping this is just a stage (or I will need to be admitted to a nut house and or have a full time maid).
