Wow..................Parenthood

So I don't remember anyone ever telling us just how hard parenting would be .....and I am positive the bags of flour in High School definitely didn't illustrate the difficulty. Apparently, Austin was born long-ago enough to have forgotten most of it except for the occassional memorable meltdown. I have figured out a way for people to figure out how hard raising kids is before they decide to have children.  It is designed as an opportunity to attend a one-month "children" boot camp. Once signed up someone comes to live with you for a month and bring you through the stages of childhood. 

Week 1:
The Infant Year:  the person just follows you around and tells you to do things and mid-task has you have to run and do something else. Oh, and of course just wakes you up every 3 hours and makes you stay awake for
Week 2:
The Toddlers Years: Throws everything you own everywhere and has tantrums (at home, in public, in the car, whereever). Bonus: begins to let you get sleep every other night.
Week 3:
The Childhood Years: Pees everywhere when going to the bathroom except in the toliet. Only has a breakdown 2x a week, wants to do activities always. Bonus: Now sleeping through the night!!
Week 4:
The Teenage Years. Basically just asks you to empty out your wallet daily, gives you attitude and leaves their dirty laundry all over the house
