Help! I’m Wrecking My Kids!
If you’re a parent, you’ve received “the look.” You know which look I mean. It’s
the one you get from the kid bagging your groceries while your 3-year-old is
coming unglued in the cart. It’s the one you get from that older woman you pass
in the aisle at Target at the exact moment your 5-year-old says something rude
in her outside voice. It’s the one you get from your mother-in-law when your
6-year-old runs across her new carpet in his muddy shoes. It’s the one that
says, “You are the most incompetent parent on the face of the earth.” And it
might not bother us so much if we weren’t secretly afraid it were true.
