That Person

At times I feel so profoundly annoyed by that person’s attitude. That person, without fail, constantly reminds me of the things that apparently he/she has done or accomplished. I mean, are you really so oblivious to your own loathly behavior and demeanor? I know you have prodigious experience in the working world, but did you ever notice your deportment towards others?

20 things that change when you have a baby

Everyone warns you that having a baby will change your life. Sure, you'll have less money (and sleep) and a lot more responsibility. But when the centre of your universe shifts to your new baby, there's much to celebrate too:
  • You discover an inner strength you never realised you had.
  • You accept that the last 15 pregnancy pounds you can't seem to shift are absolutely worth it.
  • You don't need a clock any more - your baby now sets your daily schedule.
  • You respect and love your own parents in a new way.
  • Any pain your baby suffers feels much worse than your own.
  • You don't mind going to bed at 9pm on a Friday night.
  • Your heart breaks much more easily.
  • You discover how much there is to say about one little baby tooth.
  • You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
  • You're no longer disgusted by babies' bodily functions - in fact, you're fascinated by them (hooray, a poo!).
  • The sacrifices you thought you'd made to have a baby no longer seem that big a deal.
  • You respect your body ... finally.
  • You realise that a baby's comforter has magical powers!
  • You give parents with a screaming baby an "I-know-the-feeling" look, instead of a "Can't-they-shut-him-up?" one.
  • You make time for one more baby hug and kiss, even if it means you'll be late.
  • You realise that it's possible to love a complete stranger.
  • You learn that taking a shower is a luxury, never mind a trip to the hairdresser's.
  • You finally get to speak to the shy neighbour in your street, because you've got a baby in your arms.
  • You find that things that once seemed important are now meaningless.
  • Every day is a surprise.
