    That so funny!i read that while expecting my first daughter. I'll have to email it to her. She's at captain's school for the army.










    Yeah. It's old. But highly relevant still.

    I have a 24 year old and a 19 year old, and I know I wasn't and probably still ain't ready for children. :happy:

    Haha! This is great. I'd like to start trying to have kids, but my husband (who has an extremely spoiled niece) is unsure... I better not show this to him. :wink:

    Having had both goats and children, I have to say,

    shopping with the goats would be way easier.

    lmao.... you forgot the part about giving them baths. You may as well take the shower head and spray it all around the room because kids will ensure the room has water EVERYWHERE! And don't forget to slip on the wet floor a few times and fall into everything that can and will give you major bruises!

    I shoved 2 kids in over a 13 month time frame and I would never suggest that either. I loved the dressing comment about trying to dress and octopus...so true and my son is a combo between and octopus and a fish out of water flopping around when I am changing him! This list was awesome and spot on btw! You should have added that alcohol consumption is likely to go up dramatically during this time of ones life! :)

    yes alcohol consumption does go up. You notice it a problem when you are on first name basis with the cashier. Of course only after the kids are in bed.

    You are never "ready" to have children. You just hang on to your butt and hope for the best.

    QFT

    This bears repeating.

    Test 4: Dressing small children
    1.Buy a real life octopus and string bag with holes in it.
    2.Attempt to put the octopus into the string bag so that no tentacles come out of the holes.
    Time allowed: five minutes.

    This is unequivocally true in our house... my little one has always done the alligator roll while I am trying to dress them or change their diaper.

    Feeding a three year old:

    - Prepare a healthy, balanced, delicious meal cut into bite sized pieces and cooled to optimal temperature.
    - Throw it into the garbage.
    - Reduce the number of saltine crackers in the house by 10%.
