1. You will touch unspeakable things. And 12 years hence the beasts that emitted such foul things |
|
Will proclaim that you should proceed posthaste to Hell.

8. You spend 8 or 10 years protecting them from harm |
|
then when they hit the terrible teens, you could cheerfully choke them, some days.

10. I've a friend that claims there are aliens that come and spirit your child away around the age of 12 |
|
And they leave this ugly spiting hissing demon that hates you. This demon looks like your child. So you keep feeding it. But it hates you. It doesn't miss a chance to tell you that it hates you. But it still looks like your child. So you feed it.
And then one day about 6 years later. You wake up and the aliens have brought your child back.

My mom claims she didn't sleep until my youngest sibling was 27.
I've still got a few years to go with my kids.
Hard to say which is worse -- a little kid walking up to your bed to say "Daddy, I don't feel good" and then barfing in your face, or a one o'clock in the morning phone call from the police asking you to come fetch your seventeen year old.

'Can't talk now, waiting for AAA to call. Truck brakes failed, backed into ditch, stopped by a tree; serious pain in back and neck.' OMG!

4. When your kids are just learning to walk, you can understand having to wipe their ass |
|
When they are in their 20's (30's and 40's for some), it becomes harder to understand.

5. I remember that first full, long undisturbed night's sleep after the kids were born |
|
#1 was 22 and #2 was 20. It was such a wonderful sleep.
