People Who Might Be Second-Guessing The Whole Having Kids Thing

There are so many people who dream of having a family, so when they decide it's time to start having kids, I'm sure it's an exciting time. But, do any of us really know what we're in for? We forget how weird we were as children and tell ourselves the same lie everyone else does — my child will be totally normal.

Then that sentiment is challenged day after day, from them wanting to eat Vasaline to sticking things in their noses. Kids will forever test the patience . of their parents, and we have the proof.

This kid feels very strongly about not brushing their teeth... or he's worried about losing that toothbrush. Here's the thing. The kid could have brushed their teeth twice over in the amount of time it took them to pull this off.

Honestly, being a taco is probably an accurate description of where a lot of us end up. I'm certainly a lot closer to being a taco than I ever was to be a doctor or pilot.

Is it possible to feel really seen and understood, but also offended at the same time? If my child brought this to me I would feel loved and also really mad.

Who do you think ruins more things around your home, pets or kids? Having nice things and sharing your space with children or animals are not two things that go together. They're both destructive but oh so cute.

Cats are ruthless and they're not going to care where those cat toys are. When they want their catnip, they get it, no matter the cost. But, if this is the price to pay for food, then it is a price well paid.
