I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I'm switching to Blogger instead for my own reasons.

"Now I know why animals eat their young"

This is a quote from someone who loves his kids dearly but has gone through the rigors of parenthood.

I had one of these moments this weekend. We were all at the mall and Ka goes, "poo poo, poo poo". Ok, so I bring her and the baby bag to the "family bathroom" to change her. I set her up, get the new diaper under her, pull the dirty diaper tabs, and reach for a wipe... at that moment Ka grabs the front of her diaper and begin to yank the whole thing off by pulling up... causing the (mushy) poop to smear over her front and up towards her stomach. "NO!!!" I shrieked and stopped her before the poop got on her shirt and luckly before the back of the diaper had slipped from under her which would have caused the poop to land on her face and front.

She does this type of thing because she's so insistent on doing things her way, even though as a 2 year old she has no idea what she's doing. She was just thinking, "get poopoo diaper off me".

I was disgusted and this totally frayed my nerves. Good thing we instinctually love our children. Later that night I had a 2 second emotional break down because I love her and want to strangle her at the same time.
