Parenting isn’t as glamorous as Instagram would have you believe.
When you become a parent, you know a few things. Potty training is going to suck, you’re going to have to change a lot of diapers, and they will throw temper tantrums. Still though, there are many things that you just can’t prepare yourself for.
We asked our listeners all about it: “I didn’t realize ____ until I had kids.” Here are some of our favorite responses.
1. They put EVERYTHING in their mouths
2. You wear a lot of hats; cook, driver, warden, elf
3. They’re pretty unhygienic
4. Your calendar is pretty full
5. You’re pretty much running a nudist colony
6. Seriously. They’re obsessed with being naked
7. You celebrate the weirdest things
8. They won’t eat veggies, but they’ll eat their own boogers
9. They’re terrifying
10. 🙈🙈🙈
11. And even though they put you through all of this, you can’t explain to anyone why you put up with it.
