The Cons of Being a Parent:
1) You could endure sleepless nights and tiresome days making you moody, irritable and sometimes even depressed, therefore putting extra strain on other relationships.
2) Being a parent will push you to your ultimate limits in mind and body and test you in every way – your strength, your stamina, your patience and your emotional control. Sometimes your hard work will seem meaningless, and your efforts unrecognised, resulting in frustration and irritability.
3) For the first few months/years you can expect countless dirty nappies to change, load after load of laundry to wash and to be consistently surrounded by the aroma of sick and poop.
4) Many tantrums will be suffered and a lot of tears shed while children are testing their boundaries.
5) Finding quality time for yourself and your partner can be difficult and the level of responsibility could leave you feeling pressured and exhausted.
