10 Parents Having A Pretty Miserable Day
Some live by the saying, “You don’t know true love until you have a child.” But for some people, like actor Ray Romano, “Having children is like living in a frat house – nobody sleeps, everything’s broken, and there’s a lot of throwing up.”

"And that every conversation with me, as a parent, is through a lens of how something affects Me AND my children. They are the center of my universe. Not me."
