I am tired all day. I openly complain about it, only to get to go to bed finally after a long exhausting day to not be able to fall asleep.

You spend hours grooming. Brushing hair, cutting nails, brushing teeth, washing and moisturizing skin… and yet you look like you’ve been smacked in the face with manure. That’s because none of the grooming is for you.

The only time you won’t pack a change of clothes, wipes, or diapers is when your kid sh*ts all over the place like a poonami.

Your mother-in-law will give you parenting advice and yet…

You yell at your children to just ‘listen, for goodness sakes,’ but can tune those monkeys out like it’s nobody’s business.

You can’t wait for them to walk and talk but as soon as they do, you wish they wouldn’t. For so many reasons.

You spend all day waiting for those stinkers to go bed, but when they fall asleep, you stare at their little faces, thinking ‘How could someone ever call these beautiful angels stinkers?’ Your heart is full of love and anticipation waiting to see them again.”
