1. You try to sleep in 5 more minutes but later discover why it took your son so long to use the bathroom.

2. You find yourself asleep before 11pm on a Friday or Saturday night, if not both nights.


3. You make excuses for not cleaning the house, feeding yourself, or even taking a shower for hours. How can you do any of those things when you have a little one to stare at?


When you finally stop staring at your little one, you find yourself multi-tasking like never before.


4. You find the opposite sex attractive when they do household chores or take care of the kids. Looks, wealth, and a nice car doesn't matter anymore.

5. You find the little things exciting like the new "Cars" that just came out or your son catching a ball with a big smile on his face.


There are many more reasons "You Know You Have Kids When..." These are just a few of the moments we have shared in the Motyka family this past month. Try to think of life before kids and you won't be able to remember much (due to lack of sleep, getting older, lack of energy...pick any reason). Good luck! I'm sure many of you have your own "You Know You Have Kids When" moments, too.
