that you could go out and buy them 10 pairs of shoes and the next morning they can't find a single one.


that you could be so anxious for someone to start talking and a week later wish they'd STFU.


how much I talk for granted things like everybody knowing not to put metallic shite in the microwave.

That little ones are resilient as hell, but seem to inherit every sickness in town within a three month period.

How fricking stupid I acted in college and grade school. I hope my kids don’t do a fraction of what I did.

I never realized how funny a toddler can be on a daily basis. Despite all of the headache and stress, I can't remember the last day I haven't laughed out loud at one of my kids.

So...why should my wife and I have kids? This thread isn't giving it a glaring endorsement.


Nah, these are just the things you don't realize and/or take for granted without kids. For all the shite they bring, my kids make me proud on a daily basis too.

Not everyone is cut out for it though. If you need to be convinced to have children, it's probably not for you.

That they could give zero fricks about rice and gravy.

That they can never find a matching pair of socks.

That they can scuff up the toe on a pair shoes in a matter of minutes.

How many spoons that would get destroyed by the garbage disposal.

They never tell you when supplies are low. You go take a shite and ask for TP, and they say "we ran out."

That people with multiple kids...3, definitely 4 plus...are legitimately fricked in the head.

That one is a lot of work. 2 should double the work but it actually is multiplied by like 4X

Didn't realize how much a 14 year old boy can eat. He's a bottomless pit. Good gosh he can put down some food. Good thing he does karate and baseball.

How you can love someone so much,and when even at 14 every morning they say mom I love you.

12, 10, and 5 are the ages of mine. The 5 year old wrecks the nerves of the whole house, daily.

Then I am probably going to get sued when he breaks his leg tripping over legos, stuffed animals, crocs and the multitude of other shite in his room when he comes out. My wife didn't think it prudent for me to take the Major Payne approach

How manipulative kids can be.

I've got a 3.5 year old daughter. Every time we go to the store this winter, there is an end cap with Kraft marshmallows for sale. My daughter puts a bag in the basket every trip. When I ask her why we need marshmallows, she says "these are for mommy, she loves marshmallows."

I've never seen my wife eat a marshmallow in 5 years.

High school sports is a huge pain in the arse when they're not old enough to drive... Seems like my kid has practice every damn day. It's tough for parents that work.

I have 4. Checks out. But I wasn't fricked in the head prior to their arrival (relatively speaking)

that my wife would have to deal with all of the logistical nightmares. They really don't impact anything I do.
