Most fathers and mothers will tell you that being a parent is probably the hardest job on the planet…and that’s isn’t exactly false.
As a parent, your life changes drastically and but it’s an adventure to remember forever.
Ms Natalie Blais of YourTango lists a few of the changes and surprising things you’ll find yourself doing once you become a parent
-
The end-all: Kids have zero logic and usually win the logical argument. Almost 100% of the time, kids win the argument with “because you love me.”
-
Hide the jam!: Kids can literally spread a tablespoon of jam around the entire house in under 10 seconds.
-
What to wear…: It is completely possible to wear your entire wardrobe in one day, in fact, it’s possible in one hour if your kid is sick.
-
Oh they WILL: Your children will magnify every single frustrating character trait of the people in your life.
-
Watch out for the jewelry: It is possible to flush just about anything down any toilet, and plumbers will love your kids for it.
-
Keep it together: There is no such thing as the “terrible twos.” The truth is every single age has something that will push you to the edge of your sanity.
-
Just look at your cute baby when it’s tough: You will never ever know what the true edge of your sanity is because if you hit the edge of it, you will never return, and that’s not an option for parents.
-
Say ‘mom’ one more time…: Kids can say “mom” eleven billion times in 30 minutes. Test it and get back to me.
-
No fashion police here: One morning, you will be completely okay with your kids looking like a pack of rainbow candies leaving the house and won’t even blink at the judgemental stares of other parents.
-
The winning argument?: You will answer your kids with “Because I said so!” and feel utterly triumphant — until you realize you just heard your mother speaking out of your mouth.
-
Yes you WILL: You will bribe your kids one day. It will be an epic bribe of all bribes.
-
What? This is my outfit now: Spending the entire day in your pajamas takes on a whole new meaning when you’re a parent.
-
Pure joy: You have no idea how deeply you can love and how much you can bear until you hold your baby for the first time, cry with your child over their first broken heart and wait for hours on end at a hospital murmuring every prayer you have ever known.
