- You realize that you (the mom) end up doing all the work
- While pregnant, you worry about how your kid's gonna come out, if he will be healthy
- I would worry if I'm having a GIRL
- Breastfeeding
- The CRYING!
- Your body stretches out, never the same
- no sleep
- Your relationship suffers: the fun, the desire, the spontaneity
- The feelings of resentment because the man is still free to do whatever and I am expected to do the rest...the waking up, the cuddling, the feeding
- The feelings of anger I have when I'm out and I see a woman with her baby and there is no man around
- You have to worry about germs and colds and shots
- You worry and care so much only to realize that the kid is selfish and may even forget all that you've done once they're older ("Why wear yourself out for a future that doesn't include you?")
- Most of your friends are mom friends who only talk about their kids
- Suddenly all of your activities are kid-centered
- You become old and boring
- You become stupid, less intelligent, less worldly
- Death becomes a tad easier, one less person to leave behind
- How much support you need, when I hate asking for help
- The constant struggle for solitude (no time for yourself)
- The CONSTANT ADVICE you receive from other women!
- You become a sensitive doormat and lose the "coldness" you need to survive in this world
- You feel trapped as a woman
- You need to depend on some people to help you
- There are already too many children in the world
- You're expected to smile and be happy when people dote on your kids when all you want to do is cringe and go to sleep
- Babies produce too much garbage: diapers, wipes, tissues, clothes that they grow out of, etc etc.
- You realize just how much of a man's world it is.
- Money....need I say more?
- I worry that I have so much to learn and that I'd be growing with my baby instead of me being able to teach him.
- Life is complicated but still simpler than the life with more kids
- I already have Kenny, and having to worry about him getting along with a brother or God forbid, a SISTER!
- I'm not patient and I can't learn to be patient
- Kids are manipulative, out to get what they want!
- "But it's natural"...so is nudity, but it's banned
- The bloated, disgusting feeling you get while pregnant
- How it doesn't matter which position you're in, your never comfortable while pregnant
- You have to pretend you're happy all of the time
- I don't want to have to censor my language. I like saying shit bitch fuck damn alla dat!
- I don't want to fall into the Target/Walmart/ToysRus/SixFlags crowd
- It's just not me.
- I'm prone to stretch marks
- I...DO NOT....WANT...TO...GET....FAT....
