2u2 mom

I’ll just say it – have one and stop there. With one, your life will not be that different once you get through the hard newborn and toddler years. And you’ll get the joy of being a parent. Your friends who are miserable are the ones who have 2+.

Maybe I’m outting myself as the mom whose kid breaks toys – but what do we mean by “break”? My kids are still very young so their toys can’t really be broken per se. and I expect that they are going to be destructive. If they actually broke something of value (a lamp or something) at someone’s house, I would offer to replace. But when my son has a playdate and his friend (or rather, my friends kid) “breaks” his Duplo creation, I don’t consider that actionable even if my son is crying. And I would feel pretty put out if another parent said something to me about similar behavior in my kid.

Was going to ask the same thing! How did you handle at the time, and anything you would have done differently?
