having children kills your 'life' unless you're rich and can afford a nanny.
no life. no life. no life. "hey elle, wanna go to a movie?" -can't, no sitter "hey elle, so-and-so sent an invite to a wedding, wanna go?" -can't, no sitter "hey elle, VEGAS baby?" -can't, you get the picture. oh yeah, being a mom is sooooo greaaat. what a blessing. yay. whatever. | |

It's all part of the life experience, and I wouldn't give up my kids for anything. | |

I had a real night out 2 weeks ago - it CAN be done (with a lot of organising ) exactly. if you organize everything will be okay. i work parttime and go to school fulltime while they are in school and everything is just fine. a few bumps along the way but nothing i can't handle | |

That works for some people, too. Although if your significant other starts breast-feeding puppies, then something isn't working right. | |

You know, I love my children. I truly do. But if you are a parent and you're going to tell me that you have NEVER felt that way, I'm sorry, but I have to call you a liar. Now, of course, the advantages of having a child and being a parent, in my opinion, outweigh the loss of a carefree social life.
Just don't tell me that all you parents have never felt that way, at least once or twice. | |

You know, I have to give you props for coming right out and saying this. You know you're gonna get a lot of people giving you a hard time.
Being a custodial parent, a full time 24/7 parent, not just a weekend parent, is really hard. I hope you can get some family or trusted friends to help you out every once in awhile so you can have some "me" time. | |

And at times, overwhelming. You need friends and family to take the burden once in a while or you will IMPLODE. | |

Just don't tell me that all you parents have never felt that way, at least once or twice. of course we have! and we do need to say it too - not hide it. It is not wrong to feel that way though we are made to feel like bad parents if we say we don't like certain aspects of parenting - of course there are not so great things about it. But as soon as you say it, non-parents jump on you with their smug comments about how it's self-inflicted and we made our beds we have to lie in them. It is a life-long committment we have taken on-board! | |

My "me time" is when I get home from work at night. Gives me 2 or 3 hours each night just to myself. | |
