Was just having a laugh at how desensitized I was to dealing with icky and yucky messes when my kids were little.
Cleaning up puke, changing dirty diapers, wiping snotty noses. It's all in a days work for moms, but having been away from it for some time now has me somewhat recoiling over the thought of.
Anything you remember doing back in the day/recently (mom related) that makes you cringe?
For me it's how I used to hold my kids diaper pins pinched between my lips at change-time, yet I thought nothing of it at the time. Granted, for us older folk, it was a developed and learned habit that most older moms that used cloth diapers, did.
Also, dunking and rinsing-out poopy diapers in the toilet, which I'd wring-out by-hand, no gloves, before depositing them in the diaper pail. My hands were a mess... always red, chapped, and sore.
Moral of this topic, motherhood is not for pansies. LOL!
