Gavin McInnes: 10 Misconceptions I Had About Parenting Before I Became A Parent

Totally accurate and hilarious. 

Via Kathy Draidle.

McInnes has "not a nice guy" on his Twitter bio, but I'm very suspicious about that.

This is a great piece, and I'd add to it some of the lies parents tell each other. My favourite is the one about the babies who slept through the entire night when they were 87 seconds old! Bullllllllllshiiiiiiiite.

In my house, there are always two choices for dinner-eat or not.

When my kids "GET BORED", I pass along the advice that was given to my late grandmother (photo of her at the side of the blog) to my father and then onto me.

"You're bored? Well, YOU CAN ALWAYS BANG YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL!"

Works every time. Now, I don't even have to say the second part. I just have to say "Bored?" and pause-and smile and they know exactly what's coming.

I wonder if McInnes has a minivan yet.
