You Know You're A Parent If...

Being a parent is a whole new level of crazy.

It's exactly why you tend to surround yourself with other parents. You need people who just get it! You need friends that know exactly why you've worn the same shirt for three days in a row and don't judge you.

A parent is the only one who will truly understand how you feel because they've been there themselves! They instantly understand how crazy your morning is after your son decides to flush his apple down the toilet or when your kids unravel every toilet paper roll because they needed it to create a bad guy trap.

10 Feelings Every Parent Has Felt

In addition to our crazy stories there are also a few feelings every parent has experienced.

That moment you can't believe your kids would actually say that to you in public!

Pure Shock

You realize your house is too quiet and go into your kid's room to see what they've been doing....

Disgust

The moment your child wakes you up by putting the toilet brush in your face!

Pull Out Your Hair Frustration

Exhaustion

Whether you have a newborn or your kids just decide they have to wake up before the sun comes out every morning, you've felt this one!

I've Had Enough!

A parent can only listen to their kids arguing and fighting for so long!

Losing Your Mind

The feeling you get when you put your kids to bed and they ask for 100 drinks of water. "Can I have another drink? I'm so thirsty!?"

Justice

The fuzzy feeling you get after you tell your kids not to do something, they do it anyways, and realize they should have listened.

Spending a whole afternoon making dinner, your kids seeing what you slaved over, and refusing to eat.
