You can't really get mad at your newborn baby for screaming for an hour straight when he's basically just voicing your inner monologue.

Just called my 2 month old the neediest motherfucker on the planet, in case you're looking for a reason to call DCS tonight.

When I see the frazzled parents of a newborn, I tell them, "Don't worry. It gets easier." Then I laugh maniacally for 20 minutes.
