Every adult starts preparing for the arrival of a child in their life with great enthusiasm. But it’s only later that they realise just how many surprises they’re going to come up against as a parent. These surprises range from the heart-warming and joyous, to the hilarious, to the unpleasant. But through it all, they never lose that enthusiasm for parenthood.
Here are some brilliant images which everyone who’s ever had kids will understand.
Your baby’s first bath doesn’t always go as planned

Whereas your baby will happily put whatever he or she finds into the mouth

Or toys…
Except for food. He won’t eat food.

During their first year, we’re always waiting for the next bit of progress


Their first attempts to stand up are always a moment of pure joy.

Lots of dads quickly learn how to cope with their newborn

And to get him to sleep.

And sometimes they even manage to clean up!

Those with pets will know that our four-legged friends are often as good with the kids as their parents

Big dogs are also great helpers when it comes to helping mom and dad.

Above all else, you think about getting some sleep

…or in a nice comfortable bed.



Of course, it would be ideal if everyone fell asleep at the same time.

And then just when you think it’s never going to stop…
…the long-awaited peace and quiet finally sets in.

Even simple things like eating can become quite tricky

However difficult the first months and years are, caring for a child is the foundation for bringing a family together. So remember — don’t try to rush things, and just enjoy this wonderful moment in your life for what it is.Source: https://brightside.me/inspiration-family-and-kids/25-brilliant-images-that-every-parent-will-understand-53655/
