Real reason why managing a Baby is a painful

• Baby doesn’t sleep, cries no matter what you do - daily
• Baby doesn’t sleep, carry it in hands every 3hrs for 0.5-1hr - daily
• You finally sleep at 4am in morning - frustrated
• Cost of diaper - 1700Rs per 2 weeks
• Cost of Baby milk powder - 1000Rs per 2 weeks
• Baby medicines Vitamin D, Iron, Colic - 1000Rs per month
• If C-section is done, good luck. The mother has to recover for 6 months. Take care of mother and baby both. The father is squeezed.
• Once baby sleeps, you are exhausted, but now you have house or office work
• Baby can wake and start crying randomly
• Wash baby bottles without fail - daily
• Change diaper every 3hrs without fail - daily
• Wash baby bottles without fail - daily
• Baby gets bored, cries again Hire a nanny, worry about nanny’s hygiene Nanny touches baby’s mouth, get pissed off Nanny works for 1 month, leaves the job without informing Monitor nanny 12hrs every day Nanny doesn’t understand your language Nanny doesn’t follow instructions Nanny takes leave without informing, your plans go for a toss and you have to do the work GrandParents are too old manage baby, can’t even walk without a stick GrandParents are undependable and get fed up with baby easily GrandParents remember that they had chahcis and maasis to help with baby duties For mothers living in a Tier 1 city, taking a 1yr break from work is unadvisable Mothers who go on a break for more than a 1yr can’t crack interviews

I haven’t covered the entire list TBH. You feel cheated about the idea of having a baby vs reality. You question your parents why didn’t they tell you these details beforehand. You get to hear some of the most unacceptable answers.

I LOVE my kid 🫤 but hate this cost.

When my kid grows up I wil make sure that it is not mislead by ads and incompetent parents/relatives.

I hope others make decisions more wisely.
