LOL.

I made a joke about myself being a bad mom because most of my children's art from school goes straight to the trash. When the other mom replied that I should just throw her son's art in the trash (which was mistakenly put in my son's backpack), I made another joke about how I feel better that I'm not the only bad mom. Feeling awkward makes me want to talk more, I guess, so I explained that I know other parents who keep a binder with every piece of art their child brings home. She responded just, "I am not that mom. Have a good afternoon." Which of course made me feel even more awkward and I followed up by saying, "Sorry, bad joke..."

I just got the impression she was offended by what I was saying. I was a bit taken aback by her responses. Is there not some irony in the fact that these piles of papers and art get sent home and we just toss them? Like, is it kind of funny that I'm so unsentimental about them all and can just throw them out?

And yes, i'm a millenial parent!![/quote]
