2.Pretending to be perfect won't get you anywhere.
3.Even the harshest criticism comes from a place of love.
4.Don't lie to your kids about your past. If anything, they're already embarrassed about who you are, so all the more reason for them to NOT follow your example.
5.Sometimes it's OK to go to bed angry.
6.And sometimes, the best way to resolve a fight is to walk away from it.
7.It's never a bad idea to make your children think you'd actually leave them locked up in jail.
8.If you hate the holidays, just say so. It's better than being all fake to your family.
9.But when you are going to tell lies, make sure they're good ones.
10.You probably know your partner's limits better than they do. Take care of them and watch out for them.
11.Don't harbor a dislike for things you haven't yet experienced.
12.Children are best disciplined with commands you'd also use on dogs.
13.Your age is not necessarily equal to your maturity. And following this logic, boys should probably not be allowed to leave the house until they are 30.
14.Don't shy from PDA. You only have so many years. (To embarrass your children.)
15.When you have kids, and if you have a daughter, know that you must be prepared to anally assault any boy who comes near her.
16.Your children may drive you mad. But above all, you must remember that they will teach you everything you'll ever need to know.
