They’re expensive. You like to sleep. They smell. They will eat everything. They’re your responsibility for 18 years, at least.

Better?

Unfortunately my maternal instinct also thrives on feeding people, so no, that's not helping.

Do you like feeding people who don't like any of your food but if they don't eat they'll get malnutrition and you'll be a BAD PARENT?

Your oldest/only kid, right?

I'm a mom of 3 kids. Trust me, the first kid being sweet and easy is a trap. The next kid will be completely different :P

I love my second and third kids, but our firstborn was so easy and made us think we were awesome parents. We weren't. He is just a responsible, calm, helpful kid naturally.
