My dear friend Caitlin is pregnant with her first child, and as a first time mommy, naturally, she's concerned about what kind of mother she will be. Which is silly because she and Mack are going to be AWESOME parents. But just in case she or any of my other soon-to-be-a-parent-friends had any questions about what you should and shouldn't do, I decided to help out by passing on my infinite wisdom regarding child rearing, years and years of knowledge gleaned from such credible sources as ...um...well...ya know what? I don't have to reveal my sources. Anyway, here ya have it, folks--the Foremost Utmost Awesomemost Guide to Not Fucking Your Kid Up For Life (Too Much).
Disclaimer: I know I sound really wise and shit right now. I'm kind of like the Yoda of Babies. However, who wants a short little green guy doling out parenting advice?! Basically, what I'm saying is you probably shouldn't listen to me. May the Force be with you.
