Being a mom has shown me that everything changes, especially financially wise. With that being said, all of those little summer trips to the beach, trips to the mountains, trips to Six Flags, always eating out; yeah, that's all out of the window.
I mean, not like it ever bothers me considering I've never really been on trips like that. It doesn't phase me to know that all of that stuff is over with once a baby comes out of your vagina. As a child, I was never wealthy and took all of those vacations. Although I was so freaking jealous of everyone else, I kind of just accepted it.
Once you become a mom, everything changes. It's no longer about you, your significant other, your mom, dad, your best friends, what you're going to do next weekend, what trips you're going to take, who you're going to hang out with. It's about baby doctor appointments, WIC appointments, baby food, formula, diapers, wipes. Which is all, by the way, very freaking expensive. Very nerve wrecking.
Becoming a mom replaces all the fun trips and activities that you could be taking. Which is all worth it and very well amazing in the end. It's summer, and I'm not going anywhere and I'm okay with that.
Would you rather be partying on the beach, getting drunk, high, and “turning up" with all your friends who may never be around in 10 years… Or become a mom. A title that holds so much more to it. Creating a little tiny human of half the person that you love, who may or may not even look like you. Sleepless nights, bottle after bottle, poopy diapers, sick nights, funny giggles, stories, play time… So much more better than being a party animal. That's just my perspective.
