Parents

You know you are parents when...

- You both pretend it's an hour later than it is just to get the kids down before Survivor starts.

- When on a date, the topics that will inevitably come up will include the lack of parenting on Max & Ruby,    how much sugar is in yogurt, and how regular your children's bowels are... even if you swear kids are off limits for the evening.

- You swore off "the Family Bed" technique until you have a toddler in a big kid bed. It's easier to throw them in with you than walk them back in their bed ten times a night.

- You have had very heated, passionate debate on Huggies vs. Pampers on a moments notice.

- When you walk out of a parent/teacher conference you have wondered, together, if they are talking about YOUR child.

- You secretly hope your preschooler asks for you to read her stories at bedtime... and then feel bad for the other one for missing out on such a sweet moment.
