Is it okay to hate?

Things parents of toddlers hate:

• Recliners
• Anything within arms reach in the grocery store check-out aisle
• Incoming phone calls during nap time
• Fireplaces
• Light switches out of reach
• Light switches within reach
• That 10 minutes sitting in the exam room before the pediatrician comes in
• Grandma’s knick-knack shelf
• Late-night grown-up TV shows that go back and forth between super quiet dialogue and super loud gun fights (I’m looking at you, “24”)
• Stairs
• Children’s TV shows with catchy theme songs
• Snowsuits on newly potty-trained children
• “Employee use only” ladders-to-nowhere in home improvement stores
• Anything that looks kind of like playground equipment, but isn’t actually playground equipment (thank you very much, giant red cement balls in front of Target)
• Elevator buttons
• Drinking fountains
• Candy on the sidewalk
• Toys that make noise when you accidentally kick them while stealthily walking out of your child’s room
