Often with their bodies, minds and careers in a state of limbo (typically a result of their new role as mom—or even better, stay-at-home-mom) I suppose they have to exert their drive for success somewhere. And so, they live vicariously through their children, passively competing through them and with them. It’s so g*ddamn lame.
One of my fellow mean mom friends shared this video with me. You’ve got to watch; it is so on the money. (If, however, you accidentally found yourself here, but sympathizing with the Turbo Parent I have aforementioned, you might want to log off instead…)
Thank g*d for the friends I’ve already got. If I had to start over, making new BFFs on the playground, I’d stick my finger in my eye.

I had a conversation like this with a current friend with a 1 year old...it blew me away! I had to take a step back. She lambasted me because I told her I thought it was great that our little man was learning to suck his thumb as it helped him fall asleep easier. She was outraged. She said "you can take a pacifier away but you CAN'T take his thumb away!" I told her where she could stick her thumb...!!
R u making a comeback in 2011? Miss you!
