*Delete if Revealed* There's more to me

If my friends read this, they'd not like me...A few months ago I posted about everything changing. If I knew then what I know now, I might have felt differently.

Children ruin everything.

I love kids. I work with them. I think they are the future and I want more for them than I do for myself.

But...they ruin everything.

Before, conversations ranged from food ideas to houses to weight loss to exercise to crafts to music.

Now, everything comes back to baby.

Example:

FW: how's your day
Friend: it's okay. Baby rolled over.
FW: ooh cool. How many times has baby done it now?
Friend: she did it three times today.
FW: so she's a pro at it now! That's exciting! It's been very busy today. This is my first break. My coworker of 8 years walked out with no warning. She made everyone miserable.
Friend: that sticks. Baby just rolled over again!!!

I wish I was kidding. A few weeks ago my coworker said "your child is only amazing to you. They are only special to you." I wish I could say that to a mom once in a while.

I truly love kids. They tend to be more honest than anything else in the world. They are pure and sweet and innocent. They live in a world of possibilities. They're awesome.

But in an adult world, constant baby talk is annoying. I need to be able to have one conversation without baby being mentioned.

Babies ruin everything.
