[…] Why Being A Parent Is Like Being A Scientist […]
With a couple of kids and a scientist husband, I loved this on so many levels! Hilarious! And sadly, true.
Ha! Yup!! I’m married to a marine biologist so this definitely rings true!
So So funny! My dad always says parenting is an experiment with one subject and no control group!
THAT is brilliant! And so true!! Thanks!
Fabulous comparison! I bet the pay is better for a scientist though; I’m not making any money with this parenting schtick.
Damn, I was hoping that if I stuck with it, eventually I’d get a pay raise. No such luck,huh??
That’s great! Not being scientifically inclined AT ALL I’ll have to take your word that it correlates but I still think it’s funny
Thanks for hooking up to the Hump Day Hook Up!
Sadly, that is all so very true! Especially the last one!
This is brilliant! So refreshing to find that perfect mix of intelligence and humor- you are the perfect blog cocktail, in my opinion! So perfectly Pin-able!
Wow! Thank you!!! You just made our weekend! We actually have a book prop circulating. Could we quote you???
{Melinda} As usual, LOVE this, you are spot on in every instance.
Pinning this!
Thank you so much! Glad we made you laugh!
This is so true! Although I’m not technically a scientist, I am an academia escapee. And I cannot agree more!
HaHaHa! Thanks! I escaped after my masters. You went the distance! Glad it rings true!
Brilliant! So funny and so true! Sharing and pinning!
Thanks, Michelle!!! Appreciated!
hahahaha “egomaniacs” TOO TRUE. As always, totally hilarious!
Thanks for stopping by the blog hop!
Thank you! Look forward to it every week!
this is great. LOVE IT…and SO TRUE!
Thank you!! Glad we made you laugh!
Oh, so true!
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting!
I love this post. I couldn’t agree more.
I agree! And now I know I’m a parent AND a scientist! (A MAD scientist, perhaps, but a scientist, nonetheless!
Ha! I think we’ve all got a bit of mad scientist in us. Otherwise, we’d go crazy!
Fantastic! I never thought of myself as the scientific type, but clearly I’m overdue for a lab coat.
You know, we may have to add lab coats to our products in our store. Right now we’ve just got magnets, calendars and coffee cups. But lab coats … I think every mama needs one. Plus, wouldn’t it be great for those surprise spit ups and/or vomits? You may be on to something there!
In addition to being funny this is true. Enjoy your SITS Day.

Thanks so much. Strangely, we never get tired of hearing that! Appreciated!
My husband is an engineer with his phd. He does combustion/chemistry/thermodynamics and a bunch of other big words….so I just call him a scientist. This cracks us up cuz we can soooo relate!

Yes, the shiny new toys must be had come hell or high water. I’m guilty of that too. Maybe I’m more like my kids than I’d like to admit. Fantastic post, very funny, and congrats on your SITS day.

Thanks so much. There is always a new toy to be had … or new video game to download. It never ends.
Love it! Especially the last one. Your blog concept is so unique.

Thanks so much! And I’ve got the gray hair to prove it! (Under the Loreal, natch!)
Sometimes I worry that we’ve created three little Frankenstein’s monsters…

Well having tried and concluded the experiment, I’d have to say, that sounds about right.
ReneeJay recently posted…The Box
Now we need to see if the results are reproducible! Anyone wanna weigh in with their results?
Too funny and so true! Thought I don’t think I like the sound of that last one.
