Growing up, I was not a Barbie girl — I was a Transformers girl. In fact, the Barbies I did have were primarily used as part of elaborate imaginary kidnapping plots in which my favorite action figures swooped down to the rescue. So, when I heard about the animated prequel Transformers One, I couldn’t wait for the excuse to introduce my kids to all of the Transformers lore from my childhood.

By the time we were discharged, my husband had to go back to work. Yes, that’s right. We had absolutely zero time together at home as a family because his paternity leave policy was next to nothing. This frustrated my husband to no end. He raced home every single evening after work to spend just a little bit of time with us, hoping to lend me a hand during the witching hour.
