Parenthood is like High School

I don't even want to waste time with an intro... here we go...
By the way, this REALLY made me think about the 16 year old in my junior year math class who was pregnant.  I cannot imagine how isolated she must have felt.


  • In the moment, the day-to-day often evokes tears
  • You look back years later and have all the right things to say or do
  • Mean girls
  • Competition
  • Some teachers are awesome, some are awful, but mostly the ones the help the most are just authentic
  • You're up all hours of the night... sometimes with your shirt off.
  • You start figuring out who you are.
  • You have to figure out which clubs you belong in.
  • You think you're fat
  • You feel you're undervalued
  • By the time you're a senior, there is a huge gap between you & a freshman
  • There's an invisible line between you & your friends that haven't had sex yet... and now the line is between you and your friends that don't have kids yet
  • You get rewarded at the end of 4 years if you do a good job... oh, wait.
