This morning, I read a great post from Dad Gone Mad. Danny Evans spent his morning-after recovery doing arts and crafts at Sunday school. I feel for the guy (although that’s what he gets for sending his kids to Sunday school).
As all parents know, drinking is a vital component of child-rearing. Drinking was probably involved when you first met your spouse (p.c. – other biological parent of your offspring). If your kid(s) were not the result of a drunken one night stand (or weekend drug fueled orgy), you and your partner probably needed alcohol to motivate the other to forgo sleep for another round of routine sex after a long day.
Once you have the little rugrats, you need to drink just to calm down at the end of the night (why do you think wet bars are so popular in the suburbs? It ain’t for the guests.) Of course, when the little shits wake you up at 7, 6, or if you are really lucky 5, the next morning, you regret that last drink.
I just can’t wait until Lil’ Man is 16 – hello designated driver!
