No matter who you are, things drastically change when you become a parent. Whether you no longer feel the dire need to attend every dinner party or your alcohol tolerance sharply decreases because going out after 11 just isn't an option, the things that once got you excited no longer compare to snuggle time with your baby. On the flip side — whether you're a fan of sexting or not — now nothing will get you hotter faster than a quick text that the laundry is put away or the kids' obnoxious bake sale was canceled. Whether you've felt the pure joy of seeing that a fellow parent invited your child for a sleepover or couldn't help but smile when your partner texted that they're out of work early and can pick up the kids, you know that these innocent texts can actually be considered sexts for parents!
