Wow. I had no idea it's this difficult to raise children. ;-)

It would be if you had kids who couldn't pick up drinking straw tricks on their own.

Are you implying that if you can't intuit them, you're stupid? Or just that being a parent is no big deal? Either way I beg to differ.

sex education ranks up there

strev, thanks for your opinion, but you may have noticed that nothing on this list is too serious. Also, I am not listing the many items that are shared responsibility.

This was intended as a fun list for me and my partner. If it's going to continue to provoke this type of comment, it isn't worth it.

I think it's a very entertaining list. Hope I haven't offended. :-)

I think it was me, I forgot to add the ;-), but it's your fault for starting it. :-)

strev commented on the list areas-of-responsibility-vis-a-vis-our-progeny

please accept my apologies. I too, did not mean to offend.

Having said that I am left to wonder...

"provoke this type of comment"? Am I missing something here? My comment was not rude or offensive–merely an observation of life.

*wipes reesetee's spit from page*

No apologies necessary. My point is merely that the list is for fun, and serious entrants will be disqualified and flogged with a wet noodle. Which reminds me...

*adds "flogging with wet noodle" to list*

Have you decided who gets to teach the kids how not to steal your seat in front of the television when you get up for a drink of water? I think that's vitally important (speaking as a former kid who tried it many times).

I think that's a shared responsibility. Whenever spawn tried it, we just made like we were going to sit on it anyway, and it flung itself immediately out of the way. I think in this matter, as in so many others, the size of one's ass is key.

reesetee commented on the list areas-of-responsibility-vis-a-vis-our-progeny

I see.

*ponders*

Clearly I have a lot to learn about being a parent.

*thinks about adding situations in which the size of one's ass is key*

chained_bear, reesetee is a former kid!

June 17, 2009

reesetee commented on the list areas-of-responsibility-vis-a-vis-our-progeny

I am?

I am! Yeah, that's right. I'm a former kid!

*duly adds to the list* Thanks!

Hey, I don't think I said anywhere that reesetee doesn't know enough to be a parent. That wasn't me! I would never!

reesetee commented on the list areas-of-responsibility-vis-a-vis-our-progeny

Well, I'd probably have a lot to catch up on, since I don't have spawn of my own. :-) But no, you didn't say that. I'm not sure that's what Pro meant, though, so no worries.

*is in pre-vacation fog, so doesn't care*

Oh! Oh, yes, *gets it now* sorry Pro! :)

So chained, I'm wondering, now that the Cub Has Arrived, whether you have any changes or additions to this list. :-)

December 2, 2009

reesetee commented on the list areas-of-responsibility-vis-a-vis-our-progeny

And I'm wondering now, since the Cub is a year or so older and Cub Sequel is imminent, whether you'll be adjusting this list.

You know, reesetee, I don't think there'll be many changes. Not sure about additions, but I'll keep a list if I come up with any. I think the dearth is because, rather prosaically, we are too exhausted to come up with new ones.

reesetee commented on the list areas-of-responsibility-vis-a-vis-our-progeny

Well, that makes sense. Come back in twenty years, when you've gotten some rest.
