Full disclosure statement

I believe there should be a full disclosure statement when you decide to have kids. The disclosure would involve those little tidbits of info that no one really talks about when you first think about getting pregnant. I mean items like when your three year old wakes up at 2:30 throwing up and you discover not only do you have to comfort them, clean it all up, change thier clothes, change thier bed and then start laundry (all while dealing with your own highly active gag reflex from the smell) but then you also have to wake up at the normal time the next morning because the little sick person somehow doesn't take into account the two hours of sleep they, thier mommy and thier little brother lost in the middle of the night taking care of them. A nap will do them just fine later on. (Fortunately it sometimes works out for mommy to take a nap too!) Who in thier right mind would sign on for that??!!??? Of course noone ever tells you how truly sweet and wonderful it is to hear your little person say "I Love You Mommy" either. I guess the good outweighs the bad. Although at 2:30 it sometimes doesn't feel that way!

I can relate to those late night throwing up sessions. Wait until they plaster your hair....
