Parenting Things That Make You Go, "Aaaghhh!"

In no particular order:

- Very sudden illnesses - fevers, vomiting, any sort of liquid coming out of a tiny body that usually stays inside the body.

He makes this sad face when he's feverish. I can't take it.

- Stepping on small toys in the dark

I'm not as hardcore as Chuck Norris.

- The ever-lingering smell of poop

Only it's not Grandpa's poop. It's the toddler's.

- "NO NO NO NO, MAMA!"

This is what he looks like when asked if he needs a new diaper.

- Giant car seats in small cars.

The bane of my traveling existence.

- Unsavory individuals wanting to come into physical contact with my child.

That's all I can think of tonight, but I know there's more. What can you add to the conversation?
