And the list continues…

21. You will never be able to go to the bank without getting lollipops.

22. Grocery shopping alone will become a luxury and something you treasure if it actually happens.

23. Diaper pails are WORTHLESS!! 

24. You will have more socks than you know what to do with but none of them will match. 

25. The knees in pants are just not made strong enough.

26. There really is a witching hour.

27. Car seats suck. Especially when you need 3 of them in one car.

28. If you find a children’s movie that you like, buy it. Immediately. And avoid all others at all costs!!

29. Ban the words “I want” from the get go.

10 More Things I Wish I Knew…


By Staci Pace

Here are 10 more thoughts I’ve had about having children. Can you relate?

Floss

11. Spending the day at home with your kids alone is completely different than spending the day at home with the kids AND your spouse.

12.  Bunk beds are from hell. Have you ever changed the sheets on bunk beds??

13. You will clean up more spills than you ever thought possible. FOR.THE.REST.OF.YOUR.LIFE.

14. Independent kids are messy kids. But they can make their own lunch and entertain themselves for hours. You’ll just have to spend hours cleaning up afterward.

15. If they fall asleep in the car, you’ll never want to stop driving, so keep your favorite music handy and enjoy the ride every once in a while.

16. If you want your child to be clean, you’ll have to physically wash them yourself until they’re about 6. And after that, you’ll have to smell them to be sure they actually washed themselves.

17. You have to floss their teeth. Yes, seriously. 

18. You will find remnants of food EVERYWHERE!

19. You will find a new appreciation for hard flooring. Until they fall. And then, for a fleeting moment you’ll wish for carpet.

20. Shoes are worn only to be ruined.
