"I became a parent for the first time on Dec. 31. Six years and two more kids later, I haven’t seen the ball drop on New Year’s Eve since. I may be the only parent on the planet who doesn’t need a resolution to sleep more."But since my name changed to Mom on the last day of the calendar, my annual end-of-year plans to become a better person have transformed into resolutions to be a better parent. I figure I’ll work on being a better human in general again when my kids are 18."(Jodie Fishman, Washington Post)
