Is it just me?

Q: Why do things take 10 times as long to accomplish when a child is with you? Q: Why is it that parents of not-so-attractive kids take millions of photos of them and then send them to you via e-mail, text message, online message boards and any other way they can publicize them? Q: Why do children think that saying please, please, please, please, please will get you to change your answer from no to yes? Q: Why do parents who ignore their child's bad behavior seem so laid back and calm, while parents who scold their kids seem mean and strict? (that's rhetorical, by the way) Q: Why is it so important that things are fair? Why must the sibling get the same amount of blame? Why can't kids say sorry just because they're sorry and not because they think they're getting something out of it? Q: Why are kids always moving at a snail's pace when you're late and in a rush? Q: Why don't kids hear you when you say it's bedtime or time to clean up or time to do chores, but they hear you when you whisper something that they don't need to know? Q: Why don't kids appreciate the importance of nap time? You must have asked yourself these questions at least once in your career as a parent... or is it just me?
