Must be a pre-requisite. <BR/><BR/>I haven't been to a class with my 2 year old for over a year, but was still accosted by the manager on the subway platform with an insincere, "How ARE you? We have a drop-off program now. Call me. Call me. I'll call you by end of week." I don't think she took a breath....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805246908391321840.post-84157775489526215622009-03-17T06:48:00.000-07:002009-03-17T06:48:00.000-07:00Will you come write some letters for me?

I never bought into it. Because I'm a terrible mother. <BR/><BR/>I decided to just save the Gymboree money and save it for all of the therapy my children will need when they grow up. That way, their sobby sessions on a shrink couch about how their mother ruined their lives forever because she refused to sign them up for toddler cello lessons will at least be paid in full. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm over here from Smart Ass Mom's blog. I guess we both got awards today. Because we're special that way :-)America's Next Top Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578592832886423091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805246908391321840.post-48970141330237481882009-03-16T15:12:00.000-07:002009-03-16T15:12:00.000-07:00Fo' Sure, Gymboree sucks balls.
