Starbucks for a double espresso latte, try being a father of two. See if you can relate to this article on parenting:

The day my twin daughters were born was the proudest day of

my life. I was a celebrity in the hospital while recovering

of my work. Little did I know that the days, months and

years ahead would make me cry, scream, threaten and

sometimes regretting having brought these children into the world.

I was a young mother fresh out of college with a bright future.

and big plans. When I found out she was pregnant, I put

some of those big plans on hold to become the perfect

father of my perfect little angels. I spent the first four years of their lives attending

at his ever whim. We went to parks, arcades,

the zoo. We participate in all Mom and tot activities

at the YMCA. It was a wonderful time for all of us.

The problems started in high school. One day I

visited the school, unannounced, checked in at the office

and was allowed to walk through the school to find my precious

dear What I found was not one but two “little sluts” dressed

in skintight jeans with mascara and eyeliner so thick

they looked like twin raccoons. He was mortified and ashamed.

They weren’t just changing clothes when they arrived

at school, they were changing their behavior. Their

The behavior was not good. My little darlings were out of control.

friends are doing…really talking

about themselves. Offer advice as if

you’re talking about your friend… not them.
