The word "allow" made me smirk a little and encouraged my response to this question. As a parent, I feel that I only have about 18 years to allow my children to do anything.

The best one for me is when people think they are giving you a compliment by saying, "you don't even look pregnant." Oh great, so I always look this fat!
