20 Photos Of Parents Before And After Kids That Are Very Real

NOTHING changes you like having kids does. Yes, it’s the miracle of life and it’s magical creating a family, however, it also strips back everything that you thought your life once was. You no longer sleep or leave the house or communicate with other adults.

Yes, it is a wonderful thing to have children but looking back at who you and your partner were BEFORE you became parents is shocking, hilarious and pretty damn scary…

1.) From posing to passed out

No, not passed out because of all that partying. These parents are passed out because they are physically and emotionally exhausted. At least they have finally managed to synchronize their sleeping habits! Look at how young and fresh faced they once were…

2.) No longer living the dream

At least she once was living the dream when she wore this bold statement t-shirt. Unfortunately, now she is covered in baby sick and no longer living the dream…at least she can pretend!

3.) Parenting can be a bit gross

When you once spent your weekends living it up and partying. You now spend your time dealing with the various nasty things that come out of your baby…you DEFINITELY don’t want to be dealing with THAT hungover.

4.) Way too real

I’m sure this hits home for many parents. She was so happy and glowing on her wedding day. Now she is completely DONE and covered in sick. Nice! The carefree years flew past so fast, didn’t they?

5.) Like father like son

This son is definitely going to follow in his father’s footsteps! Soon, it’ll become a full circle and his son will be happily playing the guitar on stage one moment and the next he has a son…

6.) This one is an entire MOOD

I’m sure every mom in the world will be able to relate to this one! She was once so young, carefree and full of energy. Now, she sleeps and doesn’t care about posing for photos.

7.) From glamourous to…this

Once you have a kid, your face is basically a plaything and they will do what they want to it. Kiss your perfect makeup looks goodbye!

8.) Parenting will knock you out

He was once taking others down and now his kids are taking HIM down. He better get used to this for the next 18 years!

9.) They were once scene emos

They may have toned it down a little after having their little one but I’m sure they are still emo’s at heart! It never truly leaves you…

10.) You used to be the only one who puked on you…

…Now your baby can do it for you! At least that means that you no longer need to go out, have fun and drink anymore, you can cut all that out and just get puked on instead.

11.) They found Nemo but lost their dignity

From lavish holidays to dressing up in ridiculous costumes on a Saturday afternoon for a kid’s party. That’s the life!

12.) From head-turner to being in a head-lock…

Well, this escalated quickly. It appears that her little one is trying to make her pass out but that’s funny because she WANTS to pass out and get some sleep!

13.) Her Saturdays are no longer wild

The funny thing is, even though she now spends Saturday nights in, she will still feel hungover on Sunday because of kids!

14.) Her expression says it all

Her face now says, “what happened to my life?” At least she has a tiny human to look after now and loads more responsibility. Which is a good thing, right?!

15.) His dates are now with sleep

This dad used to enjoy going on dates, now he just looks forward to being able to FINALLY get some sleep, even if it is in the middle of the day, on the floor while his toddler plays around him.

16.) The smile has disappeared

This guy’s expression is him telling his past self to STOP saying that he will stay exactly the same after having kids. That is impossible.

17.) No more pretty sunsets

This mom will definitely not longer be awake for any sunsets. However, she will probably be awake for EVERY sunrise for the next few years so at least there’s that! She doesn’t look too happy about it though…

18.) From whispering sweet nothings to SCREAMING. IN. HER. EAR.

This mom has awoken to the harsh reality that babies don’t know how to whisper, they only have one setting and that’s LOUD. They also don’t care just how close to her ear they are.

19.) Cold harsh reality

Yeah…if I was breastfeeding sat on the toilet, I would need a pacifier to keep myself from crying too. At least she has copying mechanisms in place!

20.) From one bundle of joy to another

They both bring joy but one brings a lot more responsibility than the other. At least she looks just as happy with both, though!

Parents wouldn’t change it for the world, it is just very amusing to look back on what their lives once were before kids. At least they aren’t alone!
