Hi everyone! Well, as some of you may or may not know, my husband and I are considering TTC soonish. Which is great considering my body clock feels like it's ticking so loudly I can't hear much else, nowadays! I can't look at babies without feeling that yearning feeling, and it's something I think about a lot!

That said, I was recently talking to a friend who has just had her second baby. She recently said something to me on Facebook about some negative sides to parenting that we don't usually think about/consider.

So I'm wondering: what - do you feel - are negatives to parenting? Do you like it/not like it? Are there any things you wish people had told you/warned you about before you had your children? I'm asking you to be honest, if it's OK with you. Would be very interested in hearing your thoughts...
