Bringing a life into the world is a HUGE responsibility. One that everyone takes very, very seriously. Parents-to-be look at various physical, emotional, financial, social, environmental and psychological aspects before deciding to have kids.
Laura Mazza, a mom and a blogger who goes by @themumontherun, decided to make things simpler and compile a list of practical things one must do to prepare for children.
Her hilariously accurate post has gems like, “Bite all the apples in your fruit bowl and put them back”, “Clean the house, disinfect it, then smear yoghurt on the floor”, “Make a snack every 7 minutes” and of course “Play baby shark on repeat for 68 hours”. Needless to say, the list has gone viral with 40,000 comments and 69,000 shares.
Here is the entire post:
The kicker is definitely the last line where she says, “And now you’re 10% ready” which only goes to show that parenting is the hardest job in the world and no amount of preparation can actually make you 100% ready for it.
After reading her brutally honest take, other parents shared their own experiences and tips. Check them out.
Are you a parent? If yes, what other pieces of advice would you give to those planning to take the plunge?
