There are certain things, they don't tell you about having a child. They tell you all the good things, like the snuggles and the laughs. The part where you could never love another person more, well the def have that right. It's unbelievably amazing being a parent. You stare at this little person and couldn't possibly imagine life without them.
Parenting is generalized by so many people. Children are all expected to do certain things at certain times and if they don't you panic! Am I a good parent? What am I doing wrong? The truth is all kids do things at different paces.
So back to the moral of my rambling, there are certain things they don't tell you about parenting. There are certain little things that you trade when you become a parent. Things you wouldn't normally wouldn't think would be so special, like going to the bathroom alone! Inevitably, as soon as you close the door, a child cries, or bangs on the door yelling "MAMA IN!!" a the top of their lungs. And it doesn't just stop there. If you lay down to relax, they will find you. If you want to eat something, they are right there begging you for food.
Now the moral of this story is that while, I wouldn't change any of this for a single second, to be a parent i to self sacrifice. You never think of all the little things you give up that are so important, so simple. So every once in a while, take a bubble bath, have a drink and enjoy yourself! You are a human being and you have desires too! :)
