Here is some things they don't tell you too much about when you are in school. Some of these things would be great birth control method for kids in high school:
1) Potty Training: This should be viewed as something along the lines of a triathalon. The real kicker is you don't know when you should start training for it. Sometimes it just happens, sometimes it's like bashing your face into a brick wall repeatedly. And sometimes, in my case, you potty train once, and then have to re-do it after you have a new baby because of potty training regression. Let me tell you how awesome it is to find random turds that would rival my own throughout the house randomly because my 3 year old doesn't find it necessary to let me know he did it. Forget about you know, actually trying to do it in the bathroom. Nope, he will pull his pants down, crap on the floor a foot away, and then go back to what he was doing. Ah, joyous.
2) Sore Boobs after Childbirth: I have an overactive let down, which means, at any given moment my boobs are about to burst. And right before they do, they painfully tingle to let you know they are about to release the flood gates. It's real nice. Nice like feeling like someone just punched you right in both boobs as hard as they could. Not to mention I pretty much drown my poor kid when he wants to eat. Or spray him in the eyes. Yeah, he's a big fan of that.
3) Saggy post-baby pooch: This is super sexy. No one I have ever heard voluntarily talks about this one. I am here to share the scary news. It.does.not.go.away. Unless you have big bucks to have surgery. Which I don't. So I always need to make sure my underwear is high enough to hide it. Yeah, I know I'm hot. Gotta love all that loose skin.
4) Colic: Thankfully, my new baby seemed to have spared us the torture that is colic. It's one of the biggest, stressful times I have ever had the displeasure to experience. It kind of reminds me of the Jim Carey character in Dumb and Dumber that makes "the most annoying sound in the world." Except it's your kid, and you feel bad that they are miserable, while at the same time going bonkers because there isn't a damn thing that you can do to make them feel better. Or stop. And it can go on for months. Every night, for many hours, for months. Our first kiddo really wanted us to induct us into parenthood with a bang.
5) Date nights: What's that? Between finding a sitter, and having money to actually do anything, you will be excited if you can get out and go to Wal-Mart alone. And if you manage to go to Wal-Mart alone, you make sure to go as slow as you can. Hey, you gotta take the very tiny opportunities to have alone time that you can. Poor hubby.
