I've been looking for the right word to describe my parenting skills, ran across inpet, and was amazed at the correlation. Here are the definitions from http://dictionary.reference.com:
1. without skill or aptitude for a particular task or assignment
Guilty. We knew this when we left the hospital, carrying this crying baby, and terrified because we had no idea what to do.
2. generally awkward or clumsy; haplessly incompetent.
Awkward...have you seen me try to discipline, that's a good one.
3. inappropriate; unsuitable; out of place.
All I have to do is take Olive to day care...yeah...I don't cut it.
4. absurd or foolish
Ha! You should see our definition of play at our house. Or just look at the number of toys we have crammed under our coffee table.
So, I hope these entries can provide a little bit of comfort to others with children that look at everyone else and wonder why it seems so hard for them.
