Handling messes
Let’s get real about it. Parenting kids and having pets involves a lot of cleaning up poop, pee, and spit-up/vomit. If you’re uncomfortable with that sentence, then you definitely need to have a pet before having a kid. When you have a pet or a kid, you’ll have to ask your partner regularly, “Did she poop? What did the poop look like?” You have to know to determine their health. You’ll just have to get used to handling some pretty gross stuff and it’s good if you can get some practice in before starting a family. A dirty diaper will be like a walk in the park.
