"Parenting Advice: Don't Kill Them"

The face of a white toddler in a carseat,
eyes closed (asleep or faking it?), with a stained mouth.
We try to pretend that other times don’t exist. We try to pretend that good parents (especially mothers) enjoy every minute of parenthood. This, I firmly believe, is a misogynistic tool used to oppress women...  
There will be days where you will find yourself amazed that you have made it through the day without actually giving your child away to the nearest stranger, no matter how clear he’s made it that he hates you and wants to destroy your happiness. You deserve an award for this. There isn’t one, but just know that you do deserve it.
"Parenting Advice: Don't Kill Them"

If you ever need advice on this sort of day, let me know.
