A while back, I shared some of the not-so-fun realities of raising a toddler. Surprise, surprise! It turns out there’s even more to the struggle. So, here’s another round of six not-so-great things about life with a little one:

  1. Shower Time
    Ever tried to shave your legs while your tiny tornado rummages through your bathroom drawers? Picture this: your toddler somehow discovers your hair scissors (yes, you know you have them) and makes a beeline for the door. Good luck getting a peaceful shower! Not only are you at risk of serious nicks, but when you finally step out, your bathroom looks like a disaster zone. Toilet paper everywhere, and good luck finding your toothbrushes—toddlers are obsessed with those! So, get dressed quickly; who knows what your little explorer is up to while you’re trying to stay clean.
  2. Bathroom Breaks
    It didn’t take long for me to realize that privacy while using the restroom is a luxury of the past. Sneak away as quietly as you can, but your toddler always has a sixth sense for finding you. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found myself in an awkward standoff trying to do my business while my kid stares at me like I’m the weirdest person ever. Seriously, who wants to hang out with someone on the toilet? I’d rather be stuck watching that shudders relentless show about Daniel Tiger while munching on those awful toddler raviolis.
  3. Crayons Everywhere
    Oh, Crayola, you are the bane of my existence. If you or anyone you know has a toddler, chances are at least one wall in the house has been “enhanced” with crayon art. And just when you think you’ve put all the crayons away, one sneaky crayon will always escape. Your sweet child will find it and turn your home into a canvas of chaos. Just give in now and stock up on Magic Erasers; you’ll need them!
  4. Sleep? What’s That?
    A good night’s sleep? Ha! With toddlers, that’s as likely as finding a unicorn that poops rainbows. Newborns rob you of sleep, but at least they stay in one place. Once toddlers learn to climb out of their cribs, it’s game over. You’ll find yourself sleeping with one eye open, praying they don’t sneak out of their rooms—or worse, your house! Be sure to toddler-proof everything; you never know when they might decide to wake you up with their little face inches from yours, breathing heavily and poking your eyes.
  5. Sharing Food
    Remember the saying “sharing is caring”? Not so much when you have a toddler. I don’t want to share my sandwich! I’ve found myself sneaking into the closet to devour a Big Mac just to avoid a meltdown over a single bite. How is it that my toddler can hear the crinkling of a candy wrapper from a mile away, but totally ignores me when I ask her to stop throwing dinner all over the floor? Eating only happens when the toddler is asleep or you’re prepared to share every last crumb. It’s just part of the package.
  6. Cleaning is Futile
    What’s the point of cleaning? Seriously! The moment you tidy up one mess, another one appears out of nowhere. You clean up the spilled cereal, only to turn around and find the original mess has returned, like a bad penny. And if you leave a neat pile of laundry unattended? Forget it! Your toddler will be tossing clothes around like confetti. Did you just arrange the throw pillows on the couch? That’s adorable, but your toddler believes they belong on the floor. A pro tip: keep your vacuum plugged in and ready to go; you’ll thank me later when you need to tackle those Goldfish cracker crumbs.

And trust me, there’s even more to share. Stay tuned!

Summary

Parenting a toddler comes with its fair share of challenges, from chaotic shower times to the never-ending battle against crayon art and the impossibility of a good night’s sleep. Sharing food becomes a test of patience, and cleaning feels like a losing game. But through it all, you learn to adapt, finding humor in the madness and strength in the chaos.
