Pro Tip: Get Rid of All Pillows
You just had a kid. You think that your role in your household will change from Soon-to-be Parent to Awesomest Parent in the World. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s not exactly how it works. In order to become the Awesomest Parent, you need to start from the bottom. Your new title is Couch-Pillow-Picker-Upper.
For some reason, babies and toddlers find pillows irresistible. They’ll chew on them, toss them in the air, but they never find time to pick them up. And why should they? That’s your job as the new Couch-Pillow-Picker-Upper. Don’t worry, this unpaid job only lasts for about five years or so.
