Things to include in the list of “Stuff you don’t know before becoming a parent”:
In just the first half of one day you may be required to:
-pick your baby’s nose with your pinky finger
-change your milk-soaked shirt twice
-fish a full roll of toilet paper out of a pee-filled toilet after it was accidentally knocked in by a pre-schooler
-change pajamas that were a victim of a Massive Diaper Blow-Outâ„¢
-hang around the bathroom because your kid wants company while she poops
-come up with a fun Spring/Easter themed craft involving paper and pipecleaners
I need a nap.
Oh… sweetie.
::hugs::
I can relate to all of those. Someone needs to write a practical parenting book that warns expectant mothers to expect things like that…
Yeah, nobody tells you about all the body fluids a mom has to deal with. (And I mean *ALL*)
We’ve had Fun With Toilet Paper around here too, recently.
Oh yeah.
Yep – Done every single one of those.
You can add think nothing of stripping down to your bra, in front of company (heck you’ve breast fed in front of them), because small child has vomited copiously all over your best top and you want to get it in the wash before the stain sets.
