They take home decoration into their own hands.

They don’t like holidays.

Or birthdays.

They cry for the strangest reasons. “I told him he could not take his unwrapped tampon out to run errands.”

Kids will destroy your beautiful, clean couches.

Actually, there are worse things they can do to the couch.

They’re impossible to potty train.

They don’t understand the concept of “sharing”

They ruin precious moments.

They make it difficult to own nice things.

They’re not very useful when you need help.

And you have to rescue them from themselves.

They think everything is their toy.

They don’t know how to play by the rules.

Their presents are rarely used for the intended purpose.

Every room they enter has the potential to become a diaster zone.

Their diapers do not stay on.

So much poop.

They’ll torment their own siblings.

And they desperately don’t want to share the love.

They believe it’s perfectly acceptable to be their own hairdresser.

They will turn on each other. Fast.

And they will do it with a smile on their face.

Taking them out in public usually ends embarrassment.

Your bathroom won’t be safe.

Your kitchen won’t be safe.

Your electronics won’t be safe.

Even poor grandma won’t be safe.

Leaving the room for 2 minutes can result in scenes like this.

You will never, ever, be alone in your own home again.

At least this child was smart enough to come with peace offerings.

and you won’t get a decent night’s sleep for 18 years.

But at least they’re honest…

But in the end – kids are worth it because they make us better people.
