1. You can't leave them alone without supervision in the house EVER for at least 8+ years.
You can't leave snakes alone in the house either, unless you lock them up, in which case......
2. Constantly buy them new clothes, because they out grow the old ones overnight.
Maybe we should coat them in oil, that will stop them wont they?
3. Breast or bottle feed newborns every three hours.
The worst part is when the novelty wears off, we can't put kids on gumtree
4. When they grow teeth the whole house knows about it, as it seems to cause discomfort.
5. We put nappies on them, and change them multiple times a day.
Especially in their nappies, teeth and nappies, who would have thought they were connected!
6. When taking them in the car, they must be restrained in an approved capsule or seat.
That is wise, but of course, we don't listen to the wise when it comes to our snakes!
7. They eat ANYTHING. if they can pick it up, it goes into their mouth.
Except their food, they throw that or try and give it to the snake, and that pretty glass is not so pretty!
8. We get excited with their first crawl, walk, words, smiles, hugs etc
And then grumpy when they won't shut up! We all say we don't, but eventually they'll break us!
9. When taking them to the shops and they still cant talk, but see something they recognise and want, they have a massive melt down.
This is about the only thing I don't agree with!
10. They make you realise how much spare time you had and wasted BEFORE they came along.
And just how little money you thought you had!
