I know, it's a horrible thing to say but I stand by my statement "Having kids sucks."
One minute you are you. You are 1 person and you have to worry about 1 person. The next minute, this little tiny human takes over your world. What is happening? What are all these feelings? What have I done?
These micro people are tiny dictators. They know nothing. Humans are the only animals in the animal kingdom that are born so defenseless. You need to feed them, change them, watch them, otherwise they will die. It literally takes them a minimum of 9 months to even learn to walk! Other animals do this within hours. This is a lot of pressure for a human being.
As they get older, it only gets harder. They say "little kids=little problems, big kids=big problems." They learn to talk back. They develop huge personalities and you wonder where they even learned half the the things they do. You have to send them off to school, entrusting them to a stranger and hoping that they are ok every day. You worry about their academics, what they will like, if they will make friends, did they eat lunch??! It's too much!
The worst part of it all is how much you love these little suckers. The second they are born, it is as if a chunk of your heart is just walking outside of your body. I love my babies so much that it literally hurts my body.
I think of them growing up and I cry because, although this baby stage is so exhausting, the thought of not having them with me is painful. All day I think of sleeping and then, when they fall asleep, I just miss them and want to cuddle.
Having kids sucks! You'll spend your days questioning every single parenting decision your making while at the same time defending your parenting style to all the assholes that want to criticize you. You'll spend your days feeling like you can't pick 1 more baby up while in the same breath begging them to come give you a kiss. You'll beg for a moment of silence and then miss those tiny voices.
All of this is enough to drive anyone crazy. Having kids sucks! It sucks in the most amazing way. If the things that "sucked" sucked as much as having kids, sucky things wouldn't be that bad. Does that make sense? Probably not. None of this baby stuff ever does.
