I love my kids, I just hate parenting
When I was a little kid I was obsessed with stuffed animals.
I had a ton of them and I couldn’t sleep unless at least one was in the bed with me.
Shut up.
Nowadays the only stuffed animals we have in the house belong to my son. And I love having them around.
I said shut up.

Back when Inside the Actor’s Studio was a thing (it may still be a thing, but Kate Hudson has been on it so…), I used to enjoy the stupid quiz at the end, from James Lipton’s beloved Bernard Pivot.
Two of the questions involve sounds:
What sound or noise do you love?
What sound or noise do you hate?
The actors often respond with similar child-based variations on these answers, usually something to the effect of “children laughing” or “a child crying.”
Stupid actors.
Progress! Two people asked for my advice this week.
Why?

As I promised in my post earlier this week, today I’m tackling the mom-centric ads being broadcast during the Olympics.
These particular ads are from Procter & Gamble, and they celebrate the role of moms in the lives of aspiring and actual Olympic athletes. A lot of dads out there are outraged or at least a little annoyed at the way the ads focus on moms to the exclusion of fathers. Procter & Gamble isn’t the first brand to ignore or insult dads in advertising and they won’t be the last, just as this is neither the first nor the last time the online community of fathers has gotten excited about what they feel is a total disregard for the role they play in their kids lives.
To which I say: who cares?
I don’t know much, but I know your kid isn’t funny.
How do I know? Because no kids are funny.
NONE.
This includes mine.
