Remember when you found out you were going to be a parent?
You signed up for classes on bathing your newborn, breastfeeding, installing a car seat, etc.
Well, here are the parenting classes that I wish were REALLY offered. These would have been so useful!
How to buy birthday presents for 9-year-old boys.
In this class, you’ll learn that Beyblades are sooooo 2012 and gift cards are just “meh”. And don’t even think about giving a 9-year-old boy an article of clothing. In a nutshell, you’ll learn that you are hopelessly outdated and must simply stock up on Nerf guns.
How to finance your child’s activities.
In this class, you’ll learn that every penny you don’t put into retirement or a college savings account will be usurped by payments for ice hockey, baseball, baton twirling, gymnastics, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, music classes, etc. You’ll even learn that it’s better to starve than not let Junior experience French-immersion basket weaving.
How to put your children to bed in 10 minutes or less.
Say goodbye to the hour long bath-taking-teeth-brushing-jammie-snuggling-book-reading routine once and for all. Magically send your children to bed where they fall quickly asleep. This class is sponsored by Jack Daniels and Benadryl.
What parenting classes do YOU wish were offered?
I would like one to help me not rip my eyeballs out by hand with the increasing girl drama and hysterics that exist in my home.

Such a fantastic idea to have PARENTING classes!! Gosh, there needs to be an entire school for parents…like seriously, I could think of multiple topics. There should be so many classes from A-Z and half for mothers and half for fathers too!!! And of course, there should be FREE daycare offered.
SO FUN to read!

I about spit out my coffee when I saw the word “meh” My teenage son uses that word all of the time and it drives me crazy. I wish there was a class on how to get my smart butt teen motivated! I think if I could sign up for that class my life would be a tad bit easier.

I’m sure by Tuesday that “meh” will be soooo over. Then it’s on to something equally able to make us feel inadequate and out of touch!
OK. how about How To Handle a Tantrum In Front of Strangers Who Don’t Have Kids. This is always a comedy for me.
