I had to laugh at this one, because honey, I hear ya!
Only I don't think ours involved tequila shots.
My boys: 14 and 4 months. There is such a wide range of needs here, and the parental challenges are kept in constant flux. The Eldest, who will be 15 and starting driver's training next month, is very seriously in the throes of pushing and pulling. And The Youngest just learned to roll over for the first time 3 days ago.
When The Eldest was still The Blissed-out Only, rude people would often make comments about "not being a real parent till you have at least 2 kids" and "when are you going to give him a sibling?" I suppose that all has to do with parenting through sibling rivalry, ridiculous arguments, and general craziness that comes with multiple kids. I say, to those people too rude to realize they're being rude:
Point #1. 4 miscarriages, now shut the hell up.
Point #2. You're truly not a real parent until you parent at both ends of spectrum in one day. It's easy to parent 2 or 3 kids who's needs are only a couple years apart...Are you able to go from infant to teen in the blink of an eye? Cuz I can.
