As we get older, a lot of things change. Nights of partying with friends turn into early bedtimes with our significant others. We still find time to go out and let loose, but as we age, our stamina does, too. But, the moment that we have kids, that’s really when everything changes. We aren’t the same people we once were. No more drinking all night long when we’re up changing diapers every hour on the hour.
Now parents are sharing how much their life has changed since having kids with hilariously real before and after photos.
