I feel no sympathy, I think it's so dumb. Go for a walk with your kid or curl up on the couch with them once in awhile! And dogs and kids never have accidents where they are easy to clean.

(this is the truest thing I have ever read. My husband snores like the dickens!!!)<br /><br />Your comment on feminism is dead-on. Sooooooooooo many women claim that they 'aren't feminist', I just can't even discuss that. So ... you don't think you have an equal say in how your life goes and the decisions you make? Nice one. Grr, drives me nuts!<br /><br />Great read, I liked all your points.

If everyone believe that "A person's skin color, genitals, age, political leanings, or god don't make them a good or bad person.

And all the rest, too. <br /><br />I've never really spent much time thinking about my truths. I should probably do that. I guess one for me is that people will disappoint you but that doesn't mean you should give up on everyone. That, and kids will wake up early whenever there's no need to and be impossible to get up when it's important.
