This stuff, however, I know exactly what to think about. If you're a parent of a two-year old who throws tantrums when she doesn't want to take a bath, wants to watch TV instead of eating dinner, I whole-heartedly recommend the "Overtired and Cranky" spray. Emma picked up a bottle of it at Whole Foods this weekend. When Claire threw a tantrum yesterday morning, spritz, spritz, and Claire stared at her in shock. Tantrum done. Interest COMPLETELY diverted.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Don't you spray cats, not kids? And with water? All I can say is, clearly you've never had a two-year-old who throws a fit before you even finish suggesting you eat dinner WHILE watching Elmo's Fire Engine.
And the best part was, when Grandma came to pick her up this morning, Claire ran to the bathroom, grabbed this from the counter, and brought it to Grandma to show her.

Another parenting tip from Dave. If your family is on-the-go often and you're trying to potty train your kids, pick up an on-go-potty to carry around in your car so you can onveniently get off the freeway, pull into a seemingly deserted office parking lot, get your kid out of the car seat, and plop them on the travel potty as soon as your child expresses a need to poo-poo.
Don't forget to throw away the bag re-line the seat with a new one after you're done. (And make sure to wave at the office employees staring at you as you drop your bag of shit in their trashcan outside.)
I'm seriously not trying to scare anyone away from this parenting thing. It really is the time of my life.
I shit you not.
