What do you do if your kid is really sick and you can't convince the doctor to just write the dang prescription? Is a fever of 104 for five days enough to concern any parent?
I want my kid to be the coolest boy on the planet. Is that so wrong?
He has his own cool factor, which includes constantly singing that whoa-whoa line from that ever-present Coldplay song, confidently wearing his sister's braided bracelet around his ankle, and a Phelpsian need to wear his goggles around his neck where ever we go. But is it so bad to want to provide a little swag to help the kid out?
"I'm never going to have children," I announced sometime in kindergarten. My point of view remained the same through most of college, and I was astounded when any of my friends expressed a happy anticipation of far-off parenthood. Never! To me and many others, Children = Many Dreary Obligations. So it was with great interest that I read this account on Jezebel from a young woman who had herself sterilizedat age 24. Of course you don't think you want kids. What sane 24-year-old New Yorker wants kids? Has anyone else come to parenting after many years of "I would NEVER…?"
