Bathrooms are first on the list of Things Parents Took for Granted Pre-Kids.

Sparkling tiles, pristine tubs, clean toilets, stocked pantry. Ask any parent with kids and they’ll tell you how fleeting these bathroom amenities are. Amy Weatherly, a favorite blogger among moms, gives a shoutout to these often overlooked household rooms in a recent post. In it, she hilariously details how her kids have permantely turned her bathroom into an active war zone.

“Walk into your bathroom. Take a look at the toilet seat. Notice how the toilet paper roll is not empty, or rolled everywhere or in wads in a basket on the floor somewhere,” she says. “Delight in the fact that the toilet has, indeed, been flushed.”

Once you welcome adorable little minis into the world, they’ll wreak havoc on the bathroom. There will be a perpetual foul-smelling odor coming from the room, and no matter how much you scrub the floors, they’ll never be clean.

“There is no amount of Lysol that will fix this,” Weatherly jokes.

Kids are incredible little humans, but they have yet to fully comprehend the importance of bodily hygiene and cleanliness. “The smell will only get stronger as they get older,” she promises.

Don’t worry, it’ll get better eventually. But until then, enjoy that bathroom while it lasts.

Clean bathrooms are just one of many things you’ll wish you appreciated more once you have kids. Check out one mom’s list of things she took for granted so you can soak them all up before your family grows.
