Children are a blessing, but those who decide to start a family need to keep in mind that once their first child is born, their lives change forever.
In the pictures that follow you can find some examples of what a future with kids has in store for you! Just remember, always keep calm and think positively, it will help you go through the hardest of days and appreciate the joyful moments!
1. Oops!
This could very well happen when your child feels sick. They don’t know how to “hold it” and it’s possible that they throw up on you at any moment! Just avoid carrying them around on your shoulders- it’s probably the safest way to keep yourself clean!
2. Anybody There?
When you have children, at least the first years, forget about going anywhere around the house without them following you! In this case, someone forgot to lock the bathroom door and… surprise!
3. New Pet
Sometimes you realise you’re not having a weird dream, but you really did wake up in a room with your kid and a pony for no reason whatsoever! Hope these two are potty trained!
4. Spot The Boy
Kids are keen climbers. So much so, that they can climb anywhere if left unattended. This little boy was yelling for his dad and when they tried to spot him they realised it would take a ladder to get to him.
5. Playpen Is Your Best Friend
When you have a kid at home, especially one who is old enough to crawl or walk, playpens are your go-to accessories! You’ll find yourself setting them up around your work space, tables with fragile stuff on them, special ones for the stairs etc!
6. Play It Safe
Toddlers have a love of remotes, and this is not necessarily a good thing, since they tend to lose them or hide them in the most random places! Here’s an idea to keep them safe.
7. Hide And Seek
Admit it! At first, you thought it was a ghost or something! Yet, no, it’s just a kid having fun hiding under their mother’s dress! Guess who’s not enjoying it!
8. Creative Soul
Scientists argue that it’s not good for children to grow up in front of a laptop screen. Sometimes, it’s not good for your laptop either!
9. Camping Trip
When you go on a camping trip you expect to wake up to the sounds of nature, not to the sound of your daughter munching on nachos, right?
10. Not The Lipstick!
This is what happens whwn you don’t secure your lipstick in a drawer out of the reach of your children! They release their inner Picasso!
11. Patience
When they get older and go to school, you’ll need to be patient with them when they’re doing their homework. It can sometimes take ages!
12. Curiosity
Young children know nothing about the world around them are are very curious to learn everything! So, no wonder the count of a day’s “why”s can be this high!
13. Stereotypes
You also need to be very careful about the stereotypes that kids get bombarded with. In this case, the little guy encouraged his mom to play “army guys” with him. He said she could be this guy, who is vaccuming!
14. Paint Party
Hard as it might be to believe, this is just the result of a daycare paint party. Hope they didn’t touch or sit on anything at home!
15. High Decibel
Babies cry. A lot. That’s what they’re programmed to do. And you need to be patient with that and maybe have your ears tested every once in a while. Noticing the decibel meter?
16. Food Preferences
Once your child is old enough, you start giving them real food instead of the milk or fruit puree. Be ready to deal with their reactions!
17. Healthy Bites
Teaching your kids to eat healthy is one thing, but teaching them the proper way of eating them is a whole different story!
18. Like Father, Like Son
