The following story by Jamie Johnson was originally published on the Hashtag Mom Fail Blog.
I'm a mother and a realist, so why not get right to it and tell you about the many ways I have failed at parenting my children? Though, to tell the truth, I now call them "learning experiences" or "character builders." Let's just keep things positive, people!
Since becoming a parent, I have learned 10 very crucial things — things people don't tell you when you find out you're pregnant. Some, such as myself, would think of these things more as hacks, while the normal human would think of them as common sense ("mom brain" is real, OK?). Just humor me and read on, and please, for the love of God, tell me I'm not alone here.
That's it! Do you feel enlightened? I sure wish I had known these things before I had babies. So take this knowledge and pass it on to the rest of the world!
