Things I have Blamed on Teething:
- The baby being fussy
- Me being fussy (are you kidding me, Netflix, YES I AM STILL WATCHING “INSIDE THE WORLD’S TOUGHEST PRISONS,” ffs)
- The baby not wanting to eat
- Me wanting to eat everything
- The baby not wanting to take a bath one night
- Me not showering for a week (sometimes in your life, you have to make a decision between showering or watching “Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons,” you know?)
- The baby having trouble sleeping for the first 16 months of her life
- Me having a complete misunderstanding of how the stock market works and also forgetting to pay our electricity bill for several months in a row now
Teething: it ain’t all fun and games.
In fact, there’s pretty much no fun and barely any games.
Unless you count trying every teething remedy out there and having them rejected, one by one. My daughter looked at me like, “What exactly do you want me to DO with this frozen washcloth? I will not.”
Plus I’ve lost like hundreds of dollars investing in dog pants.
Any one out there singing the teething blues? It can only last for so long, right? RIGHT?
JUST HOW MANY TEETH ARE THERE?
