There’s on book on parenting, especially since every kid is different and need special kinds of attention. But thanks to birthday parties and baby showers, parents of all ages gather round to share what they love about the joys of parenthood they wish kids knew. They’re not perfect, they sacrifice a lot, and the job is at times thankless, but parents will love you no matter what through it all. Moms and dads just hope you love them through all the mistakes.
Key Takeaways:
- When you are friends with a new parent, you can pretty much plan to get bailed on with alarming regularity.
- It took me a long time to realize that spending time with my kid-free friends at home was better than not spending time with them at all.
- Being a new parent is all-encompassing, and part of what it encompasses is time typically reserved for sleep.
“Each year is much the same, and after a few years, another shift in the parenting paradigm occurs: Your kid needs you less. They are more mobile and more independent.”
