5.Motherhood automatically sharpens your sense of perspective.

And food to puree!
7.When you become a parent, your options are automatically limited.

Because how could you not???
10.Your weekends are a whole lot less weekendy these days.
11.And vacations, when you get to take them, seem a lot less vacationy.
12.So many things are not what they once were.
15.Suddenly, youre an early bird.
16.And a person who goes to bed at an ungodly early hour, and / or naps whenever possible.
17.You also crack up at the strangest little things.
18.Because, it turns out, your child is hilarious.
19.You also find yourself crying more often than everpartly because youre exhausted, and partly because youre exhausted.
Its your duty to lead by example, after all.

You suddenly get that.
23.And when it comes to your relationship, having a baby is a lot like having more money.

26.Finally, you will understand why parents post so many photos of their children.
28.Its not that your kids have eclipsed your identity.

Thats just the natural order of things.
