I love my infant son, Arden. Very much. He’s such a fun guy already and we are creating an amazing little bond that grows each day. I love him and his smiles and coos and little poops. He’s such a great baby.

But teething can go f*ck itself.

It tests everything I have. It turns little cuddly babies into screaming alarm clocks set for EVERYTHINGSUCKS o’clock.

So, here is a list I’ve put together for you, parents and non-parents, of things I would rather do than hang out with a teething baby:

1. Cover Myself in Bees

This is a little too similar to hanging out with a teething baby, actually. If they all decided to sting me in the ears, samesies.

2. Use the Subway System in Sao Paulo

The World Cup is basically almost as hard as parenting.

3. Carry 50 Grocery Bags at the Same Time

Because two trips is just for pussydoodles.

4. Go on a Reality Show

Is fear a factor for you? No, you’re a parent. Worry IS the lifestyle.

5. Watch This Movie

Because I’m pretty sure my brain would melt out of my nose, ears and mouth. Which is okay, right now.

6. Teach My Mom about Technology

“Mom, just reboot your computer and try again.” -Me

7. Listen to this Bullshit on Repeat for a Month

This is the clearest description of parenting ever, right?

8. Fly on this Plane

Now boarding OMFG Airlines where barf bags are the size of diaper pail inserts.

9. Buy Baby Supplies at this Store

I’m pretty sure there’s a metaphor about parenting here.
