On Becoming Parents

Having a child means total sacrifice for someone else.
You’re facing 20 years of care and denying yourself.

You can’t go away and leave like you did with a cat.
Children go along too, with all their necessities and that’s that.

So, be certain the time is right for having a baby,
Because one it’s there, there’s no if, and or maybe.

Marriage sometimes takes a turn for the worst when kids appear and life gets wild.
The quality of your sex life begins to lag as everything is scheduled around your child.

Kids need to be folded into your relationship and into your life,
Everyone gets cheated when a couple stops being husband and wife.

The lifestyle you choose creates or influences your child’s existence.
So just remember that children have lots of energy, sleepless nights, and persistence.

If their would is filled with yelling, fighting, and lack of patience, everyone gets cheated.
You pull apart as a couple and the kids pay the price, every discussion begins and ends with arguments that are heated.

Make sure you’re ready to be a parent and that you possess patience and ability.
Because being parents is a privilege and an awesome responsibility.
