It’s no secret that there are a lot of changes in your life when you become a parent. However, until you actually become a parent you don’t know just how different things will get. After having two sons I have come up with a list of 6 things that change once you have children. These are things that you would have to have children to understand.
There is no such thing as “alone time.” Seriously. You won’t be able to shower, go to the bathroom, or even think without someone interrupting you.
Your feet will never be the same. Construction blocks will litter your floor like little shards of broken glass. Whether it is LEGO shrapnel, Barbie shoes, action figures, or die cast cars, you need to be careful where you step.
You can’t have nice things. I think it must be some sort of law of nature: every time you bring home something new, your children will throw up on, scratch, color on, or otherwise destroy whatever it is. This is especially true if whatever you just purchased is expensive!
Chicken nuggets will be your friend. After your children reach about the age of two, you will find yourself serving chicken at every meal since it is all that they will eat. The kicker? You aren’t sure that you care as long as they are eating!
Poop will no longer bother you. I’ve literally had to strip the boys naked because of diaper blow-outs. I’ve gotten poop on my hands. I’ve changed diapers on the front seat of my car. Thankfully, I’ve learned my lesson over the years and now I trust my boys diapering to Huggies Little Movers.
Huggies Little Movers feature Double Grip Strips, a DryTouch liner which absorbs on contact, and Leak Lock Protection for 12 hours of leak protection. Did I also mention that you can get Little Movers diapers for an awesome price at Sam’s Club?
You will never know another love like this (unless you have more kids). The first time I saw each of my sons I was amazed at how much I could love someone I had just met. It was overwhelming.
Even though parenting can be tough and there are times where you swear you will lose your mind, the love you have for your children outweighs any food mishaps, injured feet, and even poop — everywhere.
