Of course! I love my kid but this thought occurred to me after a long day of parenting.

Just fucking wait until they're three.

Just.

Fucking.

WAIT.

Yeah the expression terrible two's makes it seem like it's the worst. Two is far from the toughest year a new parent will experience

I tell everyone the same thing.

Having a kid isn't awful or amazing. It has higher highs and lower lows.

But once they're grown, you'll forget the lows, and be left with the highs.

But holy shit when you're in it....
