Why did we choose to make this selection of quotes about babies so cynical?
Because one reality about having a baby is that it doesn’t come with a return or replacement guarantee – and there is certainly no possibility of a refund.
Once they arrive, babies take a hold on your life like you never could have imagined. There are times when you will wonder how you ever managed to create such a perfect pooing machine.
On the other hand, there are times when a baby can tug at your heartstrings simply by making gurgling noises and smiling.
Sometimes a baby can make you either forget your problems – or add to them.
