Before we become parents, most of us, daydream about having kids. We fantasize about playing with them, dressing them up in cute puffy dresses, buy them tiny little shoes, and on and on and on. Then the first baby comes, and after all those sleepless nights, diaper changes, non-stop crying, tantrums, and tooshie wiping moments, the reality kicks in.
It is then that we realize having kids is not as easy as we though it is going to be. Being a parent is challenging, exhausting, time consuming, frustrating, life changing, and a job that never ends. But nevertheless, it is the most beautiful and fulfilling job that you'll ever have, and if we have to do it all over again, we would all choose to be Moms again and again and again.
We asked Moms about what it is like to have kids, and here are some answers, that will definitely put an smile on your face, if they don't make you laugh out loud:
1. Shoveling the snow while it's still snowing.
2. Hard work but the most rewarding and enjoyable.
3. Drunk little broke friends.
4. It’s like having tiny drunk schizophrenic person living in your house who makes all of your decisions.
5. Climbing a mountain while being hit by all 4 seasons. But once you get to the top it’s awesome!
