Writing this post is awkward because it forces me to admit that much of my inspiration (read: desire to steal the idea) for starting this blog came from reading Metrodad — an incredibly funny, honest, and tender account of parenthood from a young father in New York City.

Cartoon by Metrodad?

Cartoon by Metrodad?

I don’t know if he is the author of this cartoon, but I keep showing it all my friends who have two young children (which are many — we’re all just at that age). And of course, if you’re a parent, you totally get the humor in this — having two young children is tremendously challenging and exhausting, but at the same time, we all agree that we wouldn’t change it for the world. We just walk around like zombies with happy smiles frozen on our faces (when we’re not tearing our hair out and foaming at the mouth, that is).
