“ 在你成为父母之前，你希望别人提前告诉你哪些养娃的真相？”

最近国外网站有个很火的问答帖子，询问那些已经做父母的人：

“ 在你成为父母之前，你希望别人提前告诉你哪些养娃的真相？”

以下是最真实的回复，哪些说出了你的心声？1. “孩子就像电子游戏，你玩的时间越长，关卡越难。所有人都在说婴儿有多难带，但回想起来，照顾婴儿还比较容易。青春期的孩子才是大麻烦。”

"Kids are like video games — the longer you play, the harder the levels get. Everyone is always talking about how hard babies are — but in retrospect, babies were easy. It's the teenagers that are the pains in the ass."

—ChefBoiRDoh

2. “你会对大便、小便、呕吐物非常熟悉，我已经三次徒手抓孩子的呕吐物了。”

That you'll get really comfortable with poop, pee, and puke. I've caught my kid's puke three times now — WITH MY BARE HANDS."

3. “前两年你会花时间激动地教他们说话，而未来16年你想求他们别说那么多。”

"That you'll spend the first two years excitedly teaching them how to speak, then the next 16 years begging them to stop talking so much."

4. “每个孩子都是不同的，每个父母都是不同的。对妈妈有用的东西可能不适合爸爸，对陌生人有用的东西可能不适合你。你要发现适合自己的养育方式，不论好坏。”

"Every kid is different and every parent is different. What works for Mom might not work for Dad, and what works for strangers probably won't work perfectly for you. You'll develop your own parenting style, for better or for worse."

5. “我希望有人告诉我生孩子之后会出现的恐惧。在生孩子之前你知道会很难，但直到宝宝到来之后你才会意识到你所做的事多么严肃。毕竟，你要对另一个生命负责！“

"I wish someone had told me about the fear. You know before you have the baby that it will be hard, but it isn't until the baby arrives that you realize the enormity of what you've done. After all, you're responsible for another person's life!"

6. “不要在昂贵的婴儿衣服上浪费钱。他们长得比你想象中的快。”

7. “有时候，为了你自己的理智，你只需要拥抱混乱。”

8. “你会经常哭泣，不断地怀疑自己，并且比以前更加沮丧。但你仍是他们的英雄，无论你多少次认为你失败了。 “

— agingsloth96

9. “你会从你有孩子的朋友那里得到很多不请自来的建议。”

10.“我希望有人告诉我放手是多么困难。开始时，你是他们的一切。你给他们喂奶，给他们穿衣服，教他们所知道的一切。你已经习惯了被需要。所以当他们第一次不想在公共汽车上向你挥手，或者当选择与他们的朋友一起走进学校而不是你，真的很痛苦。”
