Real Moms (and Dads too!)

Jay over at Crazy Life, Makes Me Tired is putting the pressure on me today. A meme has been going around and I’m afraid I haven’t taken my antibiotics today so it appears I’ve caught it. The funny thing is, I was going to post today about motherhood and my experiences at Costco, but I think I can work that into this meme. Also, I wasn’t really clear on if she wanted my take on real moms or real dads, so I am doing real moms with a couple of real dads thrown in for good measure. If you would like to see Jay’s responses to this meme, go here. In the meantime, here is my attempt.
Real Moms:
- are Sexy
- can take several children to Costco, juggle crying babies and still buy all the stuff they came to buy while keeping a sense of humor and pusing the cart out of the store by themselves. (Note to Costco: Maybe you should have volunteers to help, especially when the Mom has 2 or 3 kids she is trying to keep from being killed in the parking lot. Just a thought)
- pretend to love hanging out with the kids all day even if they really don’t.
- never say “NO” to their kids without explaining why.
- are true multi-taskers.
- are people too!
- try not to take sides when two kids don’t agree.
- need a day off. (Besides Mother’s Day)
- have the patience of Saints.
- will kill you if you threaten their children. (Predators and Perverts beware!)
- are the best!
Real Dads:
- Know when to shut up.
- Know when not to shut up.
- love their children as much as the moms do.
- will also kill anyone who threaten their kids.
- would never survive Costco with three screaming children.
- rock!
- love their wives.
That’s how I see it Jay! And because I never shut up, I could have gone on for a lot longer.

Awesome! Thanks! I was actually looking for the ‘Real Dads’ version, but this works just as well.
And I totally agree about the volunteers for surviving the Costco parking lot!! Yikes, there are some scary drivers in there!
