I love you for this line alone. Much less the rest of this fantastic post.
Here's a dirty secret. I drink caffeine when I'm pregnant too. Because my energy needs don't mysteriously go down with two kids under 5 just because I'm incubating another human to drain the life outta me. I don't mainline the stuff (only because I haven't figured out how to give myself an IV) but I do enjoy two doses of caffeine a day when I'm dead to the world tired. Shhhhhhhhh.
I abstain from the occasional glass of wine when pregnant though. (Because my husband is a hater.)
the uppers & downers of parenting (or, coffee & wine)
I am a drug addict. I use uppers and downers. But only to make me a better parent. I never drank coffee before I had kids. At least not in a "Fresh Pots!" sort of way. We didn't even own a coffee maker. Back in those days, I looked down upon anyone who needed coffee in the morning. The more th...
I used to put the babies in their cribs when I was on the pot and one infamous time my oldest crapped while I was on the crapper and I returned to find he'd had a poop party. I was never the same.
while mama was in the bathroom (episode 1)
I go to the bathroom sometimes. I know, it is really horrible of me. Neglectful even. I'm sure perfect moms store up their bowel movements for when they have back-up childcare. I'm going to go ahead and admit publicly that sometimes, sometimes I have to go and don't wait. I know my kids are sa...
This is why more public places need family/gender neutral bathrooms.
public toilets vs newly potty trained girls and boys
Do you know what this is? A public toilet? Wrong. It is the enemy. It is especially the enemy of newly potty trained boys and girls, who are completely inept and unready to battle it. As are the parents. Back in the early days with Crappy Boy, I couldn't wait for him to no longer use diap...
This. My 4 year old STILL isn't quite tall enough to pee standing in most public stalls and frankly he sits at home too because I don't want to step in or sit on a pile of pee so we sit, point the peen down, and move on. And we rarely have incidents where he misfires. :D

Bwahahahaa. Here's a pro tip: Sit the boy on the potty until he's tall enough to stand and hit the goal on his own. Use toilet liners or toilet paper to coat the floor and toilet, pull the pants down to the ankles, teach him to prop himself up on the toilet with his hands on the liner/tp, and hold him balanced by his underpants at the ankles. Tell him to point his peen down into the toilet and voila.
Then wash/bleach hands, arms, etc, accordingly and move on with life. :D
