At some point in every 21st century mom’s Facebook loving, Tweeting, Instagramming career you bite the preverbal bullet and just embrace that you have become one of those moms that can only ever post things about your kids. Before you got pregnant and while you were still posting pictures dancing on bars and on tropical vacations, you use to unfollow or de-friend the overly zealous baby lovers. In a robotic-like motion you knew just what you had to do: unfollow (for the foreseeable future), roll your eyes, and put that person in the “with child” category of grown-ups that you could never imagine being  . . . 

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 . . .
