Parenthood

Changing dirty diapers does wear a parent out, but let's not forget the task of getting ready to go somewhere. When planning to go somewhere with a child, it feels as if one is packing for an overnight visit. A parent has to make sure that he or she has extra clothes for the child, bottles or food, enough diapers and toys for the child to play with. Nothing like having to take "a million" bags for just an hour trip, it seems as if it takes hours just to get ready to go. Then if I want to go somewhere without the child, I have the task of finding a babysitter. Some children will stay with just about anyone, so those parents have it easy, but other children will only stay with a select few. I have one of those children who will only stay with a few people. This makes it difficult to be able to go out on a date. A night out with this kind of child has to be planned a "month" ahead of time and hope nothing comes up.…
