20 Things You Never Say Until You Become A Parent
There are so many wonderful things about being a parent; it’s rewarding to watch your child grow, learn and develop into a tiny human. It’s amazing to help shape his little world. It also makes a parade of nonsense spew forth from your lips.
Since I’ve become a mother, there are things that come out of my mouth that seriously make me feel like I’ve traded in my dignity for a baby. There are certain things that kids just do not know. You have to tell them. There are also certain things that only parents say, because people without kids are not subjected to this nonsense.
