There is no doubt that having children changes our lives. We get far less sleep, have less time for ourselves and don't have the disposable income for much of what we used to buy. Our camera rolls that used to be filled with pictures of people we have met, places we have been and selfies of outfits we once loved has been replaced with thousands of photos of our kids and babies doing hilarious, adorable or wacky things.
Recently on Instagram parents have been sharing photos of themselves before and after kids.
The hashtag #GotToddlered was started by blogger Mike Juliannelle of Dad and Buried, and that has started people to share how they can relate as well.
"Wanna see something REALLY scary? Here's me, before and after I had kids! Want to play along? This October, I'm opening up @gottoddlered to your submissions of your scariest "Before and After Kids" pics! If you're not afraid, send your photos - and your IG name if you want me to share it - to gottoddlered@gmail.com and let the nightmares begin!" he wrote in an Instagram post.
From glamorous to grumpy, that's the life of a parent.
To holding two steins of beer to two cranky kids. Yup, parenting is great.
From a leisurely drink, to a necessary glass of wine. Remember when you could consume alcohol peacefully?
Halloween is coming up! Remember when your costumes looked like that?
These ones will give you a chuckle...
When that smile is really a silent scream.
It doesn't take you long to realize that your life is now dramatically different with kids.
Yup, we all struggle.
Some changes are drastic.
Some aren't as much.
And some things will never change.
Regardless, parenting is hard.
But we wouldn't change any of it for our kids.
Well maybe more sleep...
And more time to yourself...
Okay, maybe we'd change a few things.
