THINGS I DIDN’T KNOW BEFORE PARENTING: Before becoming a parent, I knew there would be sleepless nights, endless laundry and plenty of chaos.

What I didn’t know?

That children can hear a candy wrapper from two floors away—but not their own names.

That “We’re leaving in five minutes” means absolutely nothing.

That my bathroom would become a town hall.

And that every carefully planned family outing would somehow end with me screaming, “WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS TO HAVE FUN?”

Parenting three kids is loud, hilarious, wildly humbling and basically losing every argument by committee.

What’s something you didn’t know before becoming a parent? Add yours below. The more savage, the better. 😂
