Being a parent is hard. The late-night cries, dirty diapers, sleepless nights, and occasional mental breakdowns become a part of your daily lives. You forget what it means to have a day to relax. Wait, scratch that. You don’t even have a moment to relax. But when you do, in the rarest of the rare moments, you cherish that to the extent that you did not think was possible. Sounds relatable? While it might be hard to be a parent, there is a sense of comfort you feel that you are not alone. Because misery loves company (JK)! Here are 13 funny texts that every parent can relate to:
1. Your Bar For Feeling Embarrassed Is Too Damn High
As a parent, you have forgotten how it feels to be embarrassed. Poop is an important part of everyday life for you, and you have no shame in admitting that.
2. You Say Things You Never Thought You Would
When you have kids, everything that they can get their hands on goes into their mouth or their butts. We might be expert parents, but we don’t know why they do this.
3. Your Kids By Your Side Are How People Find You
Getting lost in the supermarket happens to everyone. But when you’re a parent, it’s relatively easy to find you because your children will make sure everyone knows that you’re lost.
4. Mess Becomes An Everyday Part Of Your Life
You might think you are a neat freak and cannot stand mess. But when you become a parent, mess will be a part of your life. You accept it and slowly die inside (Jk, or am I?).
5. Your Kids Do Unimaginable Things
You know you’re a toddler parent when your kids take off their clothes like nobody’s business. You secretly wish you could do the same. But psht, you have to be sensible about it.
6. You Learn New Facts About Poop
Poop, poop, and poop! You never thought so much about poop. But it’s a big part of your daily life. You never thought you would wish to see poop every day. But the alternative is worse. You just end up having to deal with a cranky, bloated kid.
7. Your Fights With Your Kids Are Quite Intense
Your kid gets mad, but you don’t know why. All you know is that you have to play along, or you’ll have to face the brunt of it.
8. You Don’t Care About Being A Bad Parent, Sometimes
You reach the highest level of exhaustion. Now, you don’t care. All you want is some me-time, and you don’t care who is in your way. Even if they are your broken condoms, I mean kids. Oops.
9. Your Sense Of Humor Is Too Morbid When You Have Kids
Obviously, you don’t mean it. But no harm in venting, is there? Besides, who else can you discuss these things with, other than your partner?
