Parenting Top Ten
Ways your life isn’t like a reality show

1. Your morning weigh-ins are mercifully private

2. No hope for trading up to a multimillionaire, housecleaning husband who lives to give foot rubs in wacky wife-swap episode

3. You drive a Ford, shop at Target and drink Diet Coke all the live-long day, but no one give you a damn dime for product placement

4. You endure hours of grueling photo shoots-but they're all at Sears and come out in wallet size with a faux-nature background

5. The only Extreme Home Makeover you’re getting is courtesy of a 5-year-old with markers

6. You’d like to see Top Chef make three different dishes (one kid food, one vegan for your tween, and one that actually tastes good for you) ever single night

7. You really did marry your big fat obnoxious fiancé. (and what’s worse, no one paid you!)

8. You never get voted off-even if you beg

9. You’re surrounded by “real” housewives-but like you, they haven’t shaved their legs in days

10. You know what Not to Wear, but nothing else fits since you had kids
