Show this post to anybody who doesn’t have children and we guarantee they won’t understand what the heck these mum’s are talking about!
1. People who don’t have kids don’t realize how lucky they are.
I thought I had a headache this morning but it turns out I just have kids.

2. They’ll never understand the sheer misery that noisy toys bring.
I used to think my mother-in-law liked me. Then she gave my son a recorder.

3. And when you have kids, tidying up is a whole different ball game.

4. A day without tantrums is a successful day.
My children are getting along and laughing this morning. The planets must be out of alignment.

5. And forget about owning the latest gadgets!
One thing I hadn't accounted for when I became a parent was how much higher the percentages became that my phone could end up in a toilet.

6. You’re not worried about owning the latest fashions. It’s enough to leave the house with everybody clothed!
50% of parenting is telling people to put their pants back on.

7. But hey, at least with kids you get to have a bit of fun, right?

8. The laughter doesn’t last long when you realise you have to actually cook nutritious meals every single day.
If you wait long enough to make dinner, everyone will just eat cereal.
It's science.

9. And you have to be a role model because they pick up on everything you say and do.
Who taught my daughter to freak out over every little thing that doesn't go her way?
Oh shit, it was me, wasn't it?

10. At some point, you’re going to think your child is secretly working against you.
I'm not sure what I did wrong but the pile of LEGOs left on the bath mat while I was in the shower seems like some kind of threat.

11. Perfect selfies are for people without kids, for sure.

12. Sometimes all you can do is joke about it.
if my kid pushed any more buttons, I'd be an elevator..

13. And make sure you get as much “me time” as possible, even if that means taking time out in some of the strangest places.
Prior to having kids, I never thought I'd consider sitting on my own in the car, a hobby.

14. Because for the next 18 years, you’re going to be watching your back…
Kids are easy to care for until they learn to roll over. After that you're never
sure what they're up to for the rest of their lives.— Susan W (@Maxine12333) October 15, 2014
15. …dreaming of a life you’ll never live again.
#parentlife sitting down playing cards and drinks and think back and want to go on a late night adventure. But realize you have kids

16. But once you finally get a full night’s sleep, you know it’s all been worth it!
