We all know the positive, absolute joyful side of being a parent. But what if parenting came with an FDA Approved warning label, similar for pills, with all the possible side effects you could experience? What would it say? Here’s how mine would read…
Warning, may cause:
- silly dancing and singing at random times
- constant memory loss
- quick loss of money
- battles at meal time
- excretion of bodily fluids other than your own
- development of ninja parenting skills
- extreme permanent drowsiness
- random disappearances of household items
- sudden interest in drinking alcohol every evening, and afternoon, and morning
- comparison and irrational judgement of other parents
- weird addiction to Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol (even after kids are in bed)
- unfounded hostility toward in-laws
- renewed appreciation when spouse returns home
- annoying habit of talking to everyone like they’re 2
- random confiscation and destruction of mobile devices
- compulsive use of birth control
- awful headaches featuring stuck-in-your-head kids songs
Just like real pills from the pharmacy, there are tons of side effects. However, unlike those pills, being a parent is totally worth the risk and side effects. Plus you can’t get something great without putting in great work and sacrifice right…….right? I wouldn’t trade my cute little demon spawn (just like his father) for anything in the world! What would your FDA parental warning label look like? Please feel free to comment and thanks for reading!
