The thing is, lately I find myself saying those things. Things like:
Having kids changes your whole life.
I had no ideaI I could love something so much.
Kids are SO much work.
You think you're (insert anything here)? Try having kids.
I haven't slept through the night in (insert given amount of time).
As much as I hate to admit it, these things are all so damn true. I try not to say them, but often mutter them to W at the end of a long day. Every time I catch myself saying them I hate myself a little bit. Damn clichés!
Life changes for sure. There is nothing wrong with that, but I try to remember to be sensitive to my friends who are still TTC and don't need to hear those things. I do find myself saying the same things though :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh every time one leaves my lips I just want to slap myself. It happens without thought, and then all I want to do is take it back!!!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh, because it's so true!!!!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I hate myself too for saying ALL of these things..because I used to hate when people said them to me! Wanted children so badly kind of blinds you to all the tough stuff! I actually said it the other day to a friend, " You think one kid is hard..wait till you have two!" And I seriously wanted to punch myself after. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteSo true!! I still can't believe I find myself saying these things...
