We've all heard life after children will change 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. So let's keep scrolling because you might see yourself in one of these poor souls.
Introducing 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 the life after children photos that will prove regardless of who you were before having kids, parenting WILL bring you down. Enjoy!
