So as I was at the computer today Toby was pecking at me and as I was trying to shoo him away to go do something else he says this to me..."Mom I'm bored, I'm bored out...You've ruined me Mom." I don't know if that is as funny to anyone as it is me. I've kind of been feeling that lately I have been ruining him, so the fact that he has picked up on it already at 4 just confirms the fact that whatever he fails at in life will definitely be my fault. I didn't think it would be so obvious until he was like strung out on drugs or in jail at 15, but I guess it's already apparent. I'm so sorry Toby that I've ruined you.

Toby definitely knows how to pull your chain! Mother that I was I would probably have shot back with "you ruined me first". Toby's going to make you proud!!!
Well, I actually said those exact words.
Actually, Ashley, when I read your title my first reaction was guilt. I thought you were accusing me of ruining you! It must run in the genes.
Moms always get the short end of the deal... what the heck.
Jason and I would be willing to contribute to a future therapy/bail fund for Toby if you want to establish one. You have to match contributions for our kids, of course.
P.S. How come dads come off scott free? Where's Todd's culpability in this? Most of the work and all of the blame...it's really not fair.
