Parental guilt

When you take your kids home from the hospital when they are born they give you a care package. It includes things like a little hat, blanket, some formula, diapers, etc. But when you are busy strapping the kid in the car seat they stick something extra in your trunk when you are not looking. You only find out about it later.

One is about the size of a 55gallon drum and it is labeled MOMMY GUILT. The other is about the size of a peanut butter jar and labeled DADDY GUILT

I just took a heaping tablespoon and my wife just stuck her head under the spigot of her hers. Youngest one has been a royal PIA for the past several days. Today was no exception, even the babysitter left all pissed off. About 11pm he wakes up crying holding his ear. I knew it, just knew it. We've been through this going on 20 times. 2 sets of tubes. Ear infection.

We feel so bad because we've been so PO'd with him and his behaviour and he's probably had the infection for a few days and only now got so painful.

To top it off the older one is sick too. They are both up right now having a snack and watching Scooby Doo. 3am in the morning. Just enjoying the ride.

Oh man that sucks. My days of being a father are yet to come, but I'm not looking forward to all the mistakes I know I am going to make.
