For those who still don't have children, some things that moms say out there are scary. But after they are born, they already have the speech on the tip of their tongue: "When you're a mother, you'll understand what I'm talking about". And, really, here are some examples that only those who have children will understand:
- After the baby is born, you spend countless sleepless nights, you can't complete a meal without it interrupting you, and you have little time to take care of you. But a smile makes all this very small, close to the greatness of a child.
- You're no longer disgusted by burps and coconuts, and you're even happy when it happens, a sign that he's fine.
- As long as he's small and can't play properly with his things, it's no use giving expensive gifts. He'll prefer packaging, pans and any other disposable junk.
- It may sound crazy, but for a mother it is normal to check several times during the night that the baby is breathing and that everything is ok. This is already part of the routine.
- Full meals and long baths with lots of smiles delight any mom.
- Finding your dream husband is extremely difficult, but finding the ideal nanny is next to impossible for you.
- You're going to dress him up in the cutest little outfit he has, and he's certainly going to throw up on it, and you're going to have to change it.
- Now days seem to be 48 hours long, while nights are four at most.
- When he grows up a little, he will ask you countless questions and most of them you will know the answer to, but he will despair when he doesn't know what to say.
- No matter what your child does, you will always do everything for him and will spare no effort to make him happy.
