Lesson:
Buy toddler stuff gently used. It will save you time, money and wine because you won’t have to put the damn thing together on a Tuesday night when you could be at the local pub watching an acoustic act. You could be at a movie or cat circus or even just relaxing watching some cheesy cat video on Imgur.
No instead, you will be drinking a gallon of whatever wine you can find on your basement shelves and cursing at the directions that don’t make sense. You will then cry, curl up into a fetal position around your now empty gallon of whatever wine you could find and wished that you had bought whatever you are assembling gently used. You will wish a horrid accident on the plant that made your plastic toddler dream kitchen because their stupid holes don’t line up. You will spend twenty minutes looking for the right drill bit because you are crying into your empty gallon of whatever wine you could find.
You will drop a screw down your heating vent and probably want to punch the pink plastic kitchen right in its recycle bin. You will curse at yourself and probably your dog, the cat and the bookshelf that is in your way. These curses will be uttered in a vehement whisper because your toddlers are asleep in the next room.
You will subsequently wake the next morning to a gallon of whatever wine you could find hangover and wonder why you ever wanted children in the first place…
So buy gently used and save yourself the headache.
On a different note, they better love this thing…
