Things No One Tells You About Becoming A Parent : Toddler

For those who are new to this phase...


And for those who are already going through this...



Oh Stop Judging!!..



Milestone: twelve to twenty-four months. Be ALERT

24.  Nap time mess

 

You will dread taking a daytime nap.

25.  Mommy’s not allowed to get sick



When you're sick, you just feel miserable. Add to that the feeling of being helpless while laundry, dishes, and clutter piles up around you… you have the ingredients for one very cranky mom.


26. They will tag you wherever you go.



And they have become actual people than baby blob way sooner than you think. You will actually be having conversation more rewarding than an adults.

27. You will have to sneak candy like it’s a contraband substance.
 


If your kid so much as smells chocolate on your breath, you’re screwed.

28. You know all of the children’s characters by their name.
 


I am bad with remembering peoples name in fact it would be a miracle if I knew my neighbours name but I sure do know the names of all her cartoon characters.

29. You know better than to leave a drink within arm’s reach of your little one.
 



30. Little IMITATORS.


 
They think now that they can walk and hold they can CONQUER the whole world.

31. Even if you give them a gold bowl they will eat from the floor.



Aaahh!! Stop Judging me...

32. Spick and Span -yeah right!  "Mess-It's my birthright."

 
This is the state of house practically everyday with kids.




  I had just vacuumed the floor...

33. Leave the Washroom Door open and you see 




34. More than 50% parents would either find themselves locked in OR their kid. 

 

In such case either you break
Or

35. Staying organized when you have kids in the house is not an easy task! 



It is very common to find kitchen items under the bed or your vanity case lying open on the floor Couch pillows. SHOULD be: on the dang couch. Are frequently located: ANYWHERE ELSE, like for instance piled in the corner next to the TV because "We were making a nest!"

36. They believe in using NATURAL Products for their MAKE-UP



Don't know why but they are very fascinated with the refrigerator. I don't have a lock in my fridge, and I can't even count the number of times my kids must have made a mess like this.

37. You always find them in totally inexplicable situations.
 

 


38. Backseat of your Car is always found in this state.


I don’t care how often you wash your car now. Crushed wafers, spilled juice, and a whole lot of other crap are in your car’s future. 


My older girl vomited in our new Car when we had gone out in it for just the second time!

39. Birth of a New Leonardo 




Every wall is artistically painted, And you will feel guilty of curbing a talent if you stop them from doing so.

40. Nothing is beyond their REACH!




They will make their ways to get what they want by hook or by crook. My younger one is very fascinated with my elder ones books. And will somehow get her hands on them.

41. All your teachings on table-manners are tossed out of the window when you take them outside.






42. Something you love will get ruined.


Kids have a knack for breaking, dirtying, or losing your favorite possessions. Don’t get too attached to your goods and chattels. 

Both my girls have had their hands on ruining my make-up kit and lipsticks.


43. They know which nerve to press - with that puppy face, it’s super easy to get out of trouble.


Most of the time mid-way of correcting them I break into laughter when I see those eyes they make.

44.  With that super cute "please" you simply cannot resist, and they get what they want easily. 



 

 We really have to harden our hearts to not get into what they want. They make you feel so guilty for not giving. 

45. They hate the word "NO" from your mouth.


Every time I say "NO" I get to see this face.
 


46. When your kid is little, every trip out of the house will feel like getting ready to go to the airport.
 

“Got the wipes?” “Check.” “The diapers, change of clothes, blanket, baby bottle?” “Uh, check.”



47. Baby shopping is almost every other month.


They keep outgrowing their dress. 


48. You will laugh more than at any other time in your life.



Kids do and say funniest thing ever. They are the best Stress Busters you can have.

49. They have NO Sense of Shame.

 


They may ask you question or do something which will make you run and hide your face. "I don't know whose child is that!"

50. You will see your own faults reflected back at you.



It’s sobering when you see your kid imitate your own bad behavior, and it will make you want to be a better person.


51. You become a Night Lover - Reading, writing, blogging etc.becomes part of Night time JOB.



My bible reading, meditation, Notes, Reading, blogging only takes place in the quietness of the Night. Where there is No Crying baby to Soothe, no hungry mouth to feed, no sibling strife to solve, no spying around either...


52. You also take the Role of an Interpreter:

Only you can understand the mumble - jumble that your child speaks and it's only you who can communicate with her.



53. For most of the World you are an Invisible: Everybody knows your child's name but nobody knows yours.


Even after 6 months in trisha's school nobody knew my name!



54. Having a baby definitely makes you less Selfish. 

Now instead of talking about yourself You talk only about Your Baby


All your FB status and photos will be loaded only with your baby.


55. Dressing your baby can be a pain in.....
 

56.The list may never end but lastly, it’s all worth it.


You can't just have enough to talk with your baby.

No matter how tired you are, talking to them will cheer you up.

Listening to their endless chatter makes you feel alive.

You can understand what they want through their eyes.

Gibberish to others ear is Sound of Melody in yours.

Hearing the word "Ma" from those lips is your greatest reward.

Their hug and a kiss is your best medicine.

 When they come from outside and first Call out your name. You feel more than a VVIP.




In the crowd when their Eyes Look Out for you, you feel Significant.

Your baby make you the MOST IMPORTANT PERSON LIVING ON THIS PLANET.

You become Productive than you were in your entire working phase. 
You can fall in love with them over and over again.

So if someone says "Oh you are just a Stay at Home Mum"
