Your husband, followed by your best friend. However, do not bring your mother along, because she is the one who put that curse on you: "If you live long enough to grow up, and you have kids, they will act the way that you do!!!!!"
Note that this curse comes from no lesser authority on parenting than Bill Cosby.
"The reason we have five children is because we do not want six! My son, Ennis, is caught in the middle. He has two younger sisters, and two older sisters. They have had a meeting! Even the four year old was hostile! You have no idea how important to a female it is that you lift the lid . . .."
So, remember, young mom, that you are not entirely at the mercy of a screaming kid. You, also, may pronounce the dreaded, Mother's Curse!
