#10 It's nice to have someone who thinks all your jokes are funny -
even when you aren't making one
#9 You no longer look like a weirdo when you talk to yourself in
the grocery store. Everybody thinks you are just mumbling to your
kids
#8 No more questions about your clothing choices. Everybody assumes
you are too tired or too busy to care about fashion
#7 Tax Deduction, Tax Deduction, Tax Deduction
#6 No more need to justify why you own three video game systems, a
gameboy, and an entire collection of Star Wars action figures.
#5 Once again you can dress up for Halloween for absolutely no
reason.
#4 The opportunity to secretly whisper your Christmas wish to Santa
Claus - just in case
#3 A standing ovation every time you return home from doing
anything -- even if you just ran to the gas station
#2 Getting the opportunity to experience life all over again from a
fresh beginning
#1 Little kisses from little lips that are wet, sticky and filled
with an unabashed love of YOU.

Report AbuseThis is a lovely post, but I have to say something about #8: I hate to break it to you, but if you dress badly, people don't go "poor thing, she is a mom and she is tired" - they actually laugh and point and criticize, at least in their head if not out loud. At least where I live they do (NYC suburbs).

Report AbuseAs we're preparing for our first baby - I think this list is just great! I'll have to print it off and hang it on the fridge, as hopefully it will bring light to many of the things my husband worries about! As scary as it all is - I just can't wait to meet my little guy!
