The Top 12 Parenting Firsts That No One Tells You About

kid just cursedParenthood is a wonderful thing. There are thousands of precious moments that you will treasure over the years; from your baby’s first smile to first words to first toddle all up until the day they graduate high school, and beyond. What you aren’t told are the other array of “firsts” that you can look forward to.

Privacy issues, tantrums, bodily fluids, injuries, other people’s kids, biting and more also count as “parenting firsts.” If you manage to get through it all with an (oh so genuine) smile plastered to your face without losing it then you’ve really achieved something.
