From Freedom to Parenthood: 10 Things That Change

1. You will now always drive with both hands on the wheel, wear your seatbelt, and stop at every stop sign. That is... if the kids are in the car.
2. You'll starve yourself do death trying to make sure every little thing your kids need is taken care of.
3. You miss going out, so you let Grandma take care of the kids one night. The entire time you're out, you just want to go home and see your kids.
4. Instead of looking at the screaming child in Wal-Mart like they're spoiled, you'll wipe the sweat off your forehead and say, "Thank you Jesus that it isn't mine this time!"
5. You'll wake up to every little tiny noise in the house.
6. You'll now know every Barney song ever made.
7. Finding time to use the restroom is no longer a necessity, but a luxury.
8. Never again will you be on time. For anything.
9. You will now have 1,000 times more respect for you own parents. You're finally old enough to truly appreciate all they've done for you!
10. Nothing in your home will ever be clean at the same time. When the laundry is finished, you'll need to clean the sticky fingerprints off the windows. When the windows are clean, you'll need to vacuum the carpet and mop the floors. Once that’s finished, you’ll need to scrub the baby food off the table. When it’s well scrubbed, you’ll have to re-mop the kitchen floor because someone just spilled Fruit Punch. Afterwards, you’ll realize you have spit up on your left shoulder. Putting your shirt in the dirty clothes basket, you’ll realize there’s a fresh new pile of laundry waiting patiently for you, and the cycle continues.
