15 Reminders To Take Your Birth Control

Let’s face it, we all live busy lives and we tend to forget to use birth control methods. The most common one used on a daily basis is the birth control pill. Other methods don’t require you to take it as often or require protection during intercourse.

But here’s a quick look at why you shouldn’t forget to take your birth control, regardless of which method you choose:

Reminders

1. Children expenses add up quickly

Watching “Frozen” again with my daughter because we paid $19.99 to download it so she’s going to fucking watch it every day until college.

2. In small places, babies can be very loud

Asked to switch seats on the plane because I was sitting next to a crying baby. Apparently, that’s not allowed if the baby is yours.

3. Kids slow you down, a lot

Hell hath no fury like a toddler wants to “do it herself.”

Three hours later, I’m still waiting for her to get out of the car.

4. Lots of fake enthusiasm is required

Most of being a parent means saying “Great!!” when your kid insists you watch him perform an unidentifiable skill.

5. Children can be little sexual deviants

5yo after bath tonight, running around the house shouting “Mom! My penis grew! My penis grew!” #hurrayforgrowthspurts

7. Babies are gross and sad

I slept like a baby!
“Lucky!”
No. Not lucky.

I shit my pants and cried most of the night

8. Develop new/sad hobbies

Prior to having kids, I never thought I’d consider sitting on my own in the car, a hobby.

9. Kids never let you be cool

*grabs an extra free sample*

“Mommy I don’t think you’re–”

OH MY GOD CAN’T YOU JUST BE COOL ABOUT THIS ONE THING

10. Multitasking is difficult

11. Scream for no reason

Apparently a 2 year old getting her hair washed and an exorcism sound oddly similar.

12. Lower standard of living

Wife: I left the kids with you for a half hour & they dumped 3 pounds of sugar in the dryer trying to make cotton candy.

Me: Did it work?

13. Sleep deprivation

This kid is still awake and telling me the score… Hayley – 1, Sleep- 0. She wins. #366daysofhayley #day289 #nosleep #bedtime #babygirl #cutie #cute #baby #babies #babiesofig #babiesofinstagram #parentingfail

14. Major drama queens

“Have children” they said… “It will be fun” they said… #badparent #parenting #parentsunite #parentingsucks #meanmom #scarymommy #eatveggies #noipad
