There are two kinds of people in the world, those who know the truth of living with a baby, and those who can only guess at what goes into keeping a tiny human alive. Whether it's yours, your sister's or brother's, or if you're just babysitting for someone, you'll know that these things just come with babies.
1. Baby songs are the devil's work
Baby songs seem innocent at first, then begins the humming, you will hum them in the shower, you will hum them at work, you will hum them in your sleep and leave everyone wondering what the hell you're singing about.
2. Children's food is actually quite delicious
You are now a connoisseur of cerelac flavors, and you eat them regularly. #NoShame
3. Time really is a social construct
The clock means nothing, you wake up and sleep at any hour the baby decides, and you're getting quite used to it tbh...
4. Also, time flies
You will lose at least 3 hours a day fooling around on the floor with the baby, and honestly you have no regrets about it.
5. Diapers are so incredibly important
Diapers are your best friend, and there is nothing more important than having extra diapers lying around in case of …emergencies.
6. You're always on the lookout for disaster
The amount of things that are dangerous to a baby is truly amazing, they bump their heads on everything.
7. A neat house is a thing of the past
If the house is tidy, savor it, you know it won’t last long
8. Sleep is a wonderful thing that you never valued enough
The only time you are ever able to actually maybe sneak a look at yourself in the mirror would be if the baby ever sleeps, but it never seems to be tired.
9. You never see your friends anymore
You always seem to be busy, and days fly past.
10. You discover talents you never knew you had
Trying to soothe a crying baby is never as simple as the movies make it look, and you will end up with having to act out weird voices and make awkward faces for the baby to calm down.
11. Everything is cause for celebration
You never knew you could be so excited about something so mediocre as a laugh or the baby saying "baba", but whatever they do is absolutely adorable.
