um, did you guys have a job? while cleaner floors, and errands may have been easier to deal with, i am not sleeping in, watching movie, reading daily, getting lost in TV shows, etc.. those are luxuries to me as well. just because you have kids doesn't mean the rest of the world is off doing as they please.. i personally work 50-60 hours a week.. you described a college student.

KWM — I can't believe I forgot to add that one as it's a MAJOR adjustment! I went from the girl who backpacked through Europe without a plan to the mom dealing with my son's airport meltdown — http://www.lilsugar.com/1806157.

How about spontaneous travel? That's what scares me the most about having kids some day. Not being able to just pick up and go somewhere on a moment's notice!
