Seats Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'm sure we all know that having children impacts on your wallet and social life in a big way, but what other aspects of your life change after your kids are born? I'll start.... 1. I now have to wash my hands about 20 times a day! 2. I can't sleep past 7 o'clock - even when given the opportunity! 3. My wife and I find ourselves speaking some weird childrens language for no obvious reason! Over to you........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 10. Feelings of intense love, pride and responsibility (in a good way) 11. The house is no longer our own, but stuff is really only fun if you share it anyway 12. I get to live out my failed dreams and aspirations vicariously through my children, "yes, you will play for Hearts one day son" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not aware that this is a hearts forum? Since when was anyone allowed to post anything in the slightest bit optimistic on here? Maybe our lads will play in the same Hearts champions league winning team of 2028 together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 19 - Shouting at them to go to sleep when they get up to all the carry on at night. Then when they are asleep, feeling guilty as **** for being hard on them. 20 - Listening to childless couples talking about being 'tired' and scratching your head wondering how people who get long lies & nights to themselves can be so 'tired'. 21 - Being plagued with worry about how they will 'turn out'. 21b - all the other good stuff previously mentioned that you wouldn't change for the world. "Consider it all joy". . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 22) Being able to sing a long to the nursery songs sang by annoying 30 something aged women on their breaks at your work. The one's you used to hate (in your early 20's) for bringing screaming horrors into this world. And you find yourself having a bit *Banter with them. *Banter, can be replaced with 'Nappy talk' 'schooling' etc etc. Not actual banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 You dirty devil! Indeed, now find myself considering giving them some loving too, which is a major worry too. Wouldn't go near them in my 20's, now in my 30's starting to look more attractive as my standards lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
