I'd bet their duck feet leave all kinds of scratches on the keyboard as they update their duck statuses.

Not to mention the poo. My brother had a pet duck once that lived indoors and that thing pooped every 30 seconds. You didn't need to hear him quack to find him, you just had to follow the poo trail.

The perfect mothers are back in force, as they don't like Kate's blog post. I'm so hoping the martyr mothers feel compelled to post, as I really need another story about eating leftover apple cores.

Funny, but these perfect mothers with their busy "real" careers who don't have a moment to themselves sure do have time to comment relentlessly about Kate.

7:31pm is when the rest of us start the baths, laundry, mopping the kitchen floor, packing up tonight's leftovers, prep for tommorow's dinner, putting away toys and laundry, quiet talks on the edge of the bed with the kids, calling our own mothers and keeping tabs on things, scrubbing out the tubs, cleaning questionable items out of the fridge, turning off MTV for the 3rd time, clipping coupons, matching up socks, ironing blouses, emailing teachers, going over homework,... and occasionally I will put a coat of polish on my toes.

LOL!! You forgot baking up a storm at 11 p.m. when the youngest child wakes up and remembers that there's a bakesale the next day and he needs three dozen HOMEMADE cupcakes!

Marie, it's not just you. All us moms in the trenches don't make the full blown pancake breakfast every morning for a number of reasons. It's early, moms are tired too. We're scrambling to get to school on time as it is; even if breakfast is cereal or a bagel. Besides, my kids aren't that hungry first thing in the am. Then again, they don't go to bed at 7:30 either. Who has the time and energy to clean up that mess every day, especially those of us with real careers, not made up ones like kate's.

Aaaaand the duck has its own Facebook page, with 142 friends. Yes, really.

Cuckoo!

A duck has more friends than I do? Must reevaluate life.

To sum up, this woman has school age children who are incapable of doing chores or having any sort of responsibility; she prepares food that is then subsequently thrown away the very next day; has children so dirty that the tub needs to be scrubbed after every bath; and, not only are her children dirty but they are having problems in school because mom needs to email their teachers every single night.

I can believe these are all things done within a week, but every night? Nope. Kate's a martyr and likes to exaggerate her hardships, so how do you compete with that? By being an even bigger martyr and exaggerating even more. That'll show her!

Who still clips coupons? What are they saving for, a time travel machine so they can escape from the 50s?

Also, if you're willing to get out of bed and start baking cupcakes for three dozen people in the middle of the night simply because your child demanded it, you're a doormat and raising your kids to be entitled monsters. (I don't have kids, but, uh, wouldn't it be better to make your own kids breakfast in the mornings, rather than spend the time doing random unnceccesary stuff for everyone else?)

The story of late night baking may have been gleaned from a movie or TV show, though I can't think of any movies where a mom staying up all night baking or doing projects is portrayed in a positive light. It's usually an indication that mom is snorting coke, popping pills, jealous and insecure about competing with other moms, or flat out crazy. Even June Cleaver would have told the Beav to shove it if he said he needed her to bake cupcakes at the last minute. She would have dad explain to him that he should have remembered sooner and would have to "take his lumps" the next day at school.

And again, how often does this cupcake baking happen? Every night? Once a week? Once a YEAR? How about once in a lifetime...

Yeah, I can see myself staying up after 9 (not 11 PM...what kid is still up at 11 to insist him mom bake cupcakes?) But I can see myself once in a lifetime cracking the Betty Crocker at 9 to crank out a few dozen cupcakes. Once.... If it happens as many times as these yahoos seem to insinuate (clap ourselves on that back for making cupcakes...no time for breakfast!), which is at least weekly....

... *nothing else to say, just shaking my head....*

Um, I do.
