[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is not to cool to say to expectant parents, "You have no idea what you are getting into" or "Your life will never be the same" (in an ominous way). They are nervous enough.[/quote] I’ve only ever heard “your life will never the same” in a happy, excited way. Never ominous.[/quote] What it means is you'll never sleep well again.[/quote] This is a perfect example that you cannot see past the phase you are in. It is a TINY window of parenthood, IN RETROSPECT, when sleep deprivation is an issue. Feels like years when you are living it. But IN PERSPECTIVE (the long view), other challenges quickly take the place of that one. [/quote]
