No one tells you had hard being a parent is. This past week has been one of HUGE changes in our house. I will tell you more about that soon but for now, I have come up with some more things people don't tell you about being a parent, please feel free to add your own!
- Some nights, you will sit down and cry after putting your child to bed because you feel like you failed that day.
- Some days you actually think that you should have thought twice about becoming a parent.
- Sleep will NEVER be the same!!!!
- Poop will consume the majority of your thoughts for years. Did they go? Is it the right consistency? Are they constipated?
- You will spend hours cleaning the house and your kid will destroy it in 30 seconds flat
- Your child will turn up their nose after you spend an hour cooking their "favorite meal" which is no longer their favorite today
- You will miss out on events you wish to attend because your daughter just can't pull it together to get out of time out for more than 20 min. here and there.
It has been that sort of weekend around here. Thankfully, I just have to look at this photo and realize that deep down she is an angel. Her job is to test me. It doesn't make it any less difficult but I know that one day she will thank me.

She is an angel - look at that smile!
I hope that the changes are good ones and you all have a great start to the new school year. I know what you mean by those unexpected 'benefits' to being a parent, like really wanting more sleep.
Honey, does this mean you are thanking me?????
So sorry you are having a hard couple of days. I watched Suppernanny this weekend and now Fiona is mimicking the out of control kids on the show, it's not fun. Hang in there, you're a great mom!
