Does your baby walk backwards?

[whitehousemom]

Sometimes I think the only reason pediatricians exist is to make me feel like a shitty mother. I am always really confident in my amazing parenting skills until I go for a regular check-up with the baby and realize what a piss-poor job I am doing.

Nurse: "Does he say 20-30 words?"
Me: "No."
Nurse: "Does he say 10-20 words? "
Me: "No"
Nurse: ::Blank

I...you're not...Ethan is so...bahahahahahahahahaaaa! I'm sorry, but you crack me up. You just described at least 102 of the doctor visits I've endured with my kids. Love it. You're fabulous. Your boys are (and will continue to be) fabulous too.

BTW--my son's appendix ruptured because I didn't know he was ill. He whined no matter how big or small the ailment--how was I to know? So yeah--I felt like the world's worst mother BIG TIME.

I know, right? How are we supposed to tend to their every ache and pain. GEEZ! I'm not your mommy! Oh wait...I guess I am.

I adore your son. Can he be my spirit animal? I also love bright red lipstick and don't see much point in walking backwards.

OMG spirit animal...hahahahahahhahahaha. YES!

Are you going to get a tattoo of him on your ankle?
