[quote=Anonymous]I get that this is probably supposed to be funny, but it is too acrimonious (in tone, if not intent) to really be funny. Are parents occasionally insane and hilarious? Oh yeah. But there are far more playful ways to joke about that fact, that come off more sympathetic. There’s a longstanding rule in humor: you can make people laugh when you point to awkward truths, but only if you don’t go so far as to make people vastly uncomfortable. As a first-time parent, even if most points don’t apply to me, I read the language as angry and saying “under no circumstances do I want to deal with you.” To which my thought as a parent and employer is: Do I want this person in my life?
