Quote of the Day
Before I forget, I wanted to throw out this quote from a New York Times story on ShitMyKidsRuined.com:
Maybe it’s not a coincidence that a site about stuff children ruin is resonating with parents who seem to think they can escape the humiliations of child-rearing so long as they have the right stuff - the perfectly styled living room or messenger bag or Wilco T-shirt, size 2T. But this is what children do - they ruin our stuff, including the stuff we bought to convince ourselves that having children wouldn’t ruin our mojo, our core cool.
