9 Things I Never Thought I’d Say to Another Human Being… Until I Had Kids

Having children is, for lack of a better word, crazy. It’s a profound experience that changes life as you know it. If it doesn’t, you’re not doing something right. It makes you question the person you thought you were and reevaluate the person you thought you wanted to be.

One of the biggest and most noticeable changes is the fact that things that were normally unacceptable to you prior to having kids all of a sudden become common place… Especially when it comes to the things you say.

The following is a list of things that I never in a million years thought that I would say to another human being… Not until I had my kids.

banging-heads
button
carpet-lint
constipation
diaper
dinosaur-egg
post-it
smell-your-butt
thermometer-tush

    Oh, that whole “letting it air but please don pee” is a classic & common occurrence in our house, lol. It sucks that the baby usually ends up peeing anyways, lol.

    I love the slideshow thing you have, so different & fun to look at!

       You’re right, unfortunately my “don’t pee” command always falls on deaf ears o_O
      And thanks for the love on the slideshow! I’ve got a million of those things all over the site so if the plugin breaks down I’m going to have a fit. lol.
      Thanks for stopping through!

    Stop sticking your finger up your butt (said to my 2 year old basically everyday!) is the one that makes me laugh at myself for saying!

    Those are funny, but I don’t think I’ve ever said any of those, except the “let it air out a bit”.

    The number of bizarre things that we find ourselves saying once we are parents is beyond reason.  And the strange things kids decide to try out.  Seriously, where do they get these ideas.  Like eating whatever falls to the floor.  ICK.  Just the other day my 10 year old was picking at something on the car door until I had to say, “You know that is bird poop, right?”

    • http://www.wegotkidz.com/ Kesha Chisholm

      Oh man, so it only gets worse? lol. Thanks for the warning.
      lol @ him finding bird poop interesting.

    Yea! Another NC blogger out there! Your captions to your pics makes me laugh. Been there done that. Now instead of smelling butts, we are smelling pits. Gotta love being a mom!

    • http://www.wegotkidz.com/ Kesha Chisholm

      NC in the house! Oh Lawd, so armpits are my next stop? This is a crazy ride. lol. Thanks for stopping by Kristi!

  • Lyd Rich

    The fact that we smell our children’s rears makes us akin to dogs. I think we’re just saying, “Hello.” 

  • Elena White

    LOL! No one tells you that when you become a mom, sniffing butts is an everyday thing!
    Congrats on your SITS day :)

    So funny! I think my top one was “just throw up in my hands, baby.” oh, the things we do as mamas for our kids!

    • http://www.wegotkidz.com/ Kesha Chisholm

      I’ve said and done that one too Tiff… Oh the horror. And to think that I had a bodily fluid aversion before I had children. lol.

    Enjoy your SITS day! :)

    • http://www.wegotkidz.com/ Kesha Chisholm

      You’d be surprised @facebook-1057476368:disqus . Post-its, tissue, paper towels… any paper product he could get his hands on. No joke. Luckily it was just a phase… now he’s on to carpet lint. lol!

    Haha I know exactly what you mean, being a parent does make you say some crazy things! My favorite so far that I had to say to my daughter: “No, we don’t take cheese with us to the potty.”

    Happy SITS day!

    • http://www.wegotkidz.com/ Kesha Chisholm

       LMBO! That one’s hilarious! What?… no cheese on the potty?

      Girl it’s the weirdest thing… Having children is disgusting, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world. I don’t know what I do without those little boogers… At the same time, if you don’t have any yet for heaven’s sakes don’t rush it! lol.

    You’ve obviously been to my house.  But I’ll give you a warning, it doesn’t stop once they are out of diapers.  When they’re in middle school you’re doing the BO check (“You can’t wear the same shirt to school for a week!”) and dread the day the gym clothes come home which at my house is at Christmas break and the end of year.  I’ll let you guess what I do with them.

    Adorable pictures of your kids!!
