Having Kids Changes Everything


It amazes me the adjustments you make in life when you have kids. I was a woman who had pedicures, hair cuts, and quality hair care...you know 10 dollar shampoo. Well now I spend my money on diapers and kids clothes. You really dont even think about it...it just happens...and then you wake up one day and you have not had a hair cut for like 3 months. I was a person who said I was not ready for kids because I was too selfish. I think we are all too selfish...but then these special little people come into your life and shampoo and haircuts are so not important. My husband and I are amazed at parents who really are not parents. Its like thier kids are just along for the ride of thier life rather than building thier lives around thier kids. They have thier kids out at 9pm. They still go to clubs. I mean who are these people? I am so thankful for the time and effort we have put into our boys. It pays off in the long run. People say...they are so good natured...why? I believe it is because we have adjusted to them. My obgyn used to laugh at us...he would say...you all act like these kids are gonna have to adust to you...you need to adjust to them. Well we have done that and honestly would never change a thing. We desire no clubs...no late night dinners with screaming kids. These children have opened up our hearts and eyes. They have demanded almost all of us. Never trade it ever. Thank you Jesus!!!
