'Pregnancy is magical — just sometimes that magic is more like a witch's curse.'
the biggest lies they were told about having kids, and their honesty was truly eye-opening. Well, in the comments, even more parents chimed in with things they learned only after having kids. Here's what they had to say:Justin Paget / Getty Images"On the flip side, before having my son I only ever heard that pregnancy was torturous, that I'd be unable to function normally, that it would destroy my body — only negatives.
"Don't be afraid to ask for help and don't be afraid to ask questions. The reason other parents don't tell you the scary stuff is because sometimes it is scary, and sometimes you don't actually experience it, so the theory is why scare the woman?""In my younger mom days, I wish people had warned me about the comparison trap, especially on social media.
It's okay if you don't let your four-year-old help you bake cookies every time you get the flour out. It's okay if you don't throw your six-year-old an over-the-top Pinterest-worthy birthday party that costs as much as a down payment on a car.I could go on and on. My main point is please don't beat yourself up when you see other moms' social media pictures and assume they've got their shit together. They struggle too.
"Some days nothing will go right: your toddler will be naked, running through the house pooping and laughing while you're in a meeting, and the gentle calm parenting techniques will be right out the window . You're gonna blow up. You have to remember that, and you have to take your time to come down from that place and then come back with fresh focus and apologize to that little shit demon. It'll be hard. But they'll make you laugh every day.
