Tired is the New Black

The only time in your life that you will ever want to cry about how tired you are is when you become a parent. Everyone always asks you how’s she sleeping? Or the infamous, is she sleeping through the night? In my short lived parenting career, I have only ever met one parent whose under one year old sleeps through the night and after learning of this, I quickly ended our association. Babies don’t sleep through the night. After becoming a parent you will never, ever, sleep the same again. Even when they are teenagers, I imagine there will be a sleepless night or two when they are at their first concert or “sleep-over” which we all know is just code for a party. You will live in a perpetual state of tiredness and you will learn to live with it . . .
