As I got older, I began to dread the months right after my friends had kids. Their conversations would become completely focused on things such as the color of their baby's poop and how a baby's skin looks like it is peeling off in the bath and other strange things that Hollywood has failed to prepare our generation for. I promised myself that I would never become like them after I had a kid, but that promise is impossible (Holy f.... Is THAT normal?!). Now I realize that there is a damned good reason that we do not remember our first few years. It's the same reason new parents become obsessed with it. This stuff is disgusting but someone has to take it seriously, and I doubt there is an adult who can take it all in stride the first time. Trying to find the correct baby product in a Japanese pharmacy may be one of the most stressful things I have done... and I've done some pretty intense things.

The point of this post- give new parents a break. This shit is bananas.
