Around the yrs, I have lined the grim side of parenting really a whole lot so, without additional ado, I give you the soiled dozen.
Five gross factors that young children do
I know, I know… how did I only appear up with 5? This submit addresses licking toothpaste lids, missing the toilet and ‘cleaning’ with snot rags.

This is going to travel me potty
Ugh. Rest room instruction. I’m glad we’re effectively over and above this grim phase. I still think it would have been less difficult to persuade Ghengis Khan to sit on a potty than it was with oldest.
