[Editor's Note: I thought I knew about taking care of babies... until I brought my oldest son home. Thrown for a loop doesn't describe it! That's why this post at Sellabit Mum made me laugh so hard. I could have used a Baby Exit Interview, too! -Jenna]

I Needed a Better Baby Exit Interview:

Hospital roomI blame my lack of motherly instincts on the hospital where she was born. They let me take her home without asking me any questions.

Seriously, what the hell? Sure I was 34 and seemed normal and like a had the ability to take care of myself and presumably others. But they never asked me that.

Instead I found myself yelling at them as I was wheeled out of the door... ”You are really just letting me take this baby? How is that possible? You all are crazy thinking I know what to do with her? Where is the intensive training program?” Hell I got eight hours of training at work to learn how to video conference! You all gave me a five minute diaper changing and bathing demonstration and showed me how to put my nipple in her mouth and called it good!? This whole diaper/bath/nipple thing only lasts so long! What about when she’s five and nine and thirteen and sixteen? Where is that training? Can I call you all later? Is there a helpline?”

Read the rest for some giggles that we can all related to.
