"Got Toddlered," When Parents Shared Just How Fast Life Can Change When You Have Kids

We've all heard that having children changes your life completely. And while some new parents are in denial about this in the beginning, it will only take a few days before they realize they will be posting hundreds of photos of their baby a day on Instagram. And if they need a reminder of how much fun they used to have before deciding to start a family, all they have to do is scroll down their feed and relive their best non-kid moments. That is when one blogger makes it easier by running an Instagram account called Got Toddlered which is dedicated to all the effects children have on their once-cool parents through pictures. Keep reading because you might see yourself in one of these poor souls.
Meet Mike Julianelle, a dad with a platform on his popular parenting blog, Dad and Buried. Mike also runs a popular Instagram account called Got Toddlered, where parents share before and after they became parents to show how their kids "ruined" them. These side-by-side photos are the real-life representation of the big shift everyone warns you about, and they're sure as funny as they are painfully accurate. So buckle up and enjoy all of the photos that demonstrate that, regardless of who you were before having children, parenting WILL bring you down. Enjoy!
