Pros and Cons

Sometimes being a parent is the most amazing thing and other times you think you are going insane. So here are my pros and cons of parenthood.

Pros-
1.Amazing hugs and kisses every time I walk in the door. I mean really who else gets so excited to see you every time you come home!
2.Cuddles on the bed, couch, floor etc....
3.watching babies turn into actual people.... they come out as blobs and before you know it they are walking, talking, on to the go, to much energy people! Its amazing!
4.Watching the excitement on your kids faces every time they learn something new
5.Being able to play at the park and not look like an idiot because you have kids with you!
6.Squishy,squishy babies!
7.Being able to be excited about Christmas all over again
8.kids being potty trained.... defiantly a win in any parents eyes!
9.Playing with toys all day... and knowing that you can because really you are just entertaining your children
10.having you kids tell you they love you and think you are the greatest person ever. I'm sure this will change in the teenage years but for now I will take it

Cons-
1.Poopy diapers
2.Less sleep
3.Constant worry
4.Wondering how someone so little could have such a big attitude. And wondering when it will end!
5.A messy house full of toys. And stepping on toys. There is nothing more annoying that a 3am trip to the bathroom and steeping on a matchbox car in the middle of the night!
6.Sick kids. Although the calmness is nice no parent wants to have a kid that doesn't feel well
7.Not being able to just leave the house and do what you want without having a diaper bag, bottles, snacks, sippy cups, and kids in tow!
8.Did I mention poopy diapers???????
9.How fast your kids grow up... seems like they are not little long enough!
10.Having to get out of bed and start your day at the crack of dawn because the kids are up and hungry and ready to play. Remember when you could sleep till noon?
