If you're a mom, you've probably long already said goodbye to your sleep schedule. From the baby stages, you have to wake up every few hours to tend to the baby. And it doesn't get much better when the kids get older, either. In fact, it actually gets worse. I can't even tell you how many times I walked into my parent's room and stood next to my mom's side of the bed, trying to wake her up, only for her to wake up and freak out from a silhouette standing by her bedside in the dark. Absolutely terrifying.

Any mom who told you this whole parenting thing got easier as the kids got older flat-out lied. It's almost like the more self-sufficient they become - the needier they get. Need I say more? And if you were blessed with boys, that's a whole other level of chaos. Good luck, my friend.
