If you’re a very new parent, you might not have had this moment yet, but I promise you, it’s coming – the one when you stop in the middle of something, look in the mirror, and think “this is my life now.”

And most days it’s a great life, and you’re happy you chose it, but that doesn’t also mean you can’t realize how comically you’ve changed from the you that used to be.

Those are the moments these 11 posts relate, and you are going to love them so much.

11. Not only that, but it’s your job to feed him.

I’m sorry to inform you.

10. All of the time.

Even if you’re just hanging out at home.

9. It happens to the best of us.

Age comes for us all, my friends.

8. There is actually clutter everywhere.

You swear you just cleaned that room, right?

7. This is the rest of your life.

I hope you’re ready.

6. Anywhere you get “me” time, really.

My dog never had so many walks.

5. Or perhaps the wrong color cup.

Socks are harder to find, though.

4. Also their jungle gym, and their napkin.

I could do this all day.

3. Embrace the chaos.

It’s the only way to survive.

2. She forgot “in your pocket.”

That’s where mine always end up.

1. As will your gray hairs.

Or anything else that’s a mess. Which is a lot.

 

I do feel so seen, even though some of these haven’t happened to me yet.
