Before you consider having children, you should be aware of some things that may happen while raising them.

1. Sometimes they may not not like holidays.

2. They often cry for the weirdest reasons. “I told him he could not take that with him to run errands.”

3. They may destroy furniture.

4. Then there’s dirty diapers that sometimes fall off…

5. Oh and there’s the potty training thing…

6. Children can get messy when they eat.

7. And when they brush their teeth.

8. Sometimes they might break things.

Nothing is safe.

9. You’ll spend much of the time making sure they don’t hurt themselves.

10. You’ll have to keep an eye on them. If you turn your back for a few moments…

11. You’ll never have a good night’s sleep.

12. They are mean to their siblings.

13. They fight with their siblings.

And smile about it.

14. You’ll never get privacy.

15. Sometimes you might get notes and cards that will make your heart melt.

Bonus

A handful of toddlerhood

Fam, I was gonna crop out the cat wallpaper background but then I realized the cat #gottoddlered too. Look at that angry stare! Things have really gone downhill for him! If anything should be cropped out it’s that kid, but I feel like the cat might take care of him on its own pretty soon… . . . #parenting #meme #memes #funnymemes #momlife #dadlife #mom #dad #kids #family #humor #mom #dad #motherhood #parenthood #fatherhood #dads #moms #parentlife #toddlers #parenthood #fatherhood #momlife #tired #dadlife #dadsofinstagram #momsofinstagram #gottoddlered #cat #catsofinstagram #cats_of_instagram
