It’s all fun and games until you decide to have kids.
Don’t get me wrong, kids are a blessing. They’re wonderful and amazing to be with, and they make us feel special. Not to mention, we get to learn many great things from them. So, there’s absolutely no doubt that children positively impact our lives in different ways. However, there are many downsides too. I mean, these are the things that people with children wouldn’t normally tell you when you ask them about their experience. They’ll tell you becoming a parent is great. It makes you humble, teaches you time management, makes you responsible and all that good stuff. However, what many people won’t tell you is that it all comes at a great price.
So, it’s important you keep all of these things in mind before you decide to become a parent. Having an idea of what you might be dealing with is always beneficial. So, we’re going to give you a visual representation of what it’s like when you have kids. The following posts were taken from the Instagram page called gottoddlered and they show everything that you need to know!

The price of having children is your freedom. You can’t expect to have children, and also live a carefree life. Yes, you can live a relaxed life, an enjoyable life, but not a carefree life. When you become a parent, you automatically sign up for sleepless nights, mental exhaustion, and a lot excruciating pain. It might sound a bit exaggerated, but it’s not. We all have different experiences. Some parents might not have it as bad as the others, but one thing that every parent can agree on is that raising children requires sacrifices.
