Stupid shit people forgot to mention about parenting

[BlahBl4h]

Mine at the moment is just how many times you can be expected to watch the same fucking movie over and over and over and over.

I want to peel my eyes off.

Anyone?

When they finish with a toy, you have to pack it away. Repeat 100 times, every day.

That you think it'll get easier as they get older and then they STOP GOING TO BED AT REASONABLE TIMES.

That when the baby toddler school years are over and you start to relax a little the teenage years start and that's a whole other world of shit

That having teenagers is so much more difficult and frightening than toddlers 😣

I was (ridiculously) under the impression that your body would just go completely back to normal and like it was before after having a baby. Wow was I wrong!

Wait until they're teenagers and discover cute cat and dog videos.

I internally eye-roll many times throughout the day.

As it is the only time DD speaks to me I take what I can get.

had me in stitches because I’m dreading this stage- I love my 7.30pm to myself

Dc: shall I tell you about blah blah Minecraft
Me: no
Dc: blah blah Minecraft Minecraft blah blah blah blah blah Minecraft blah..................

Yes. This one too.

I have given up now. My son has a handful of things I know he'll eat and he just has them on rotation. I do chuck him new things to try but he looks at me like I've just told his Gran to fuck off.

They are ALWAYS HUNGRY.

That you think it'll get easier as they get older and then they STOP GOING TO BED AT REASONABLE TIMES.
Yep no privacy.
They're like ghosts they just appear from nowhere.

Yeah still waiting for that one glares at mum pouch

Oh god animal videos. 😬 And the videos of people playing Minecraft. And the ones where parents take their children scuba diving/to Disneyland/the moon every fucking day. And the ones where you don't even understand what it's about. Seriously, those fucking vines. There was one years ago where it was just a woman saying "HI" and a bloke saying "ok". That was it?! WHY

That nothing is ever enough for them. I spend loads of money taking them out for lunch and to an activity they have wanted to do for ages and instead of saying 'thanks we had a great day' they say 'can we get a milkshake on the way home' and then are in a bad mood because I said no.

That it's possible to give birth to the most annoying person you've ever met. And you then have to live with them for a minimum of 18 years. But you still love them and want only the best for them. Doesn't make any sense! 😜

My heart filled with pride when she first said ‘Mummy’.
No one told me that she would from that point onward say it all the time, constantly, morning til night and then also during the night until morning endlessly forever.

’Mummy, can I’
’Mummy, did you know’
’Mummy, in minecraft’
’Mummy, I’m hungry’
’Mummy, I need the toilet’ SO BLOODY GO YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS

For me- my body not being the same again. But I've come to terms with it.

Not being able to have a lay in. Why do they wake up sooo early?

Toddler constantly making a mess, I step on toy cars umpteen times a day.

Wanting to watch annoying kids stuff on YouTube. I like peace and quiet and it's never quiet anymore 😬🥲

Why? Why? Why? What's that? Why? Why?

I have given up now. My son has a handful of things I know he'll eat and he just has them on rotation. I do chuck him new things to try but he looks at me like I've just told his Gran to fuck off.

If it's any consolation that was my DS. 6 food items I tell you, 6.
He's a strapping 18 yr old now who eats anything and everything plonked in front of him. He even cooks for the family <proud>

I second this .. they adore you until they are about 9 then it all goes down hill . I'm holding out until they hit 18 when they sometimes want to hang out with you again

This made me laugh 😂

also, the amount of times me an OH have been DTD and what comes into my head.. a sexy fantasy? .. no…. Baby shark do do do do do do … the songs take over your life.

How most of your conversations go "mummy..."
"Yes darling?"
"Mummy"
"Yes darling?"
"Mummy"
Get to the f ing point darling

God knows how many times I say that a day

Ha yes, great minds 😂

But WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

To every fucking answer you ever give to every fucking ridiculous question they ask. A thousand times a day.

But WHYYYYYYY?
