Household Engineer
For centuries, women of all ages, sexual orientation, religions, and backgrounds have joined the ranks of M.O.M.S.. Once conception is acquired, expect a minimum of 18 years to the rest of your life as a M.O.M.S. member.
You must be willing to go without. This includes sleep (at least until 5 years old-- then again in the teenage years), showering, using the restroom, pedicures, manicures (you should see my feet!), eating while sitting down, eating a balanced meal (bites of chicken nuggets and hot dogs become the M.O.M.S. staple).
Don't bother purchasing a new career wardrobe-- vomit, poop and sour milk will occur.
Must acquire lightning speed reflexes and be able to run out the back door if screams occur. Must also be able to differentiate between "crying wolf" and real pain.
Challenges will occur including, but not limited to:
* Cutting of hair-- not usually yours, but if sleep occurs it could be-- take precautions.
* Backed-up toilets due to randomly flushed Barbie dolls
* Splinters
* Sharpie Marker on the walls of the dining room
* One piece bathing suits stuck on the family German Shepard dog.
* Kool Aid dyed carpeting, bedding, and misc clothing.
* Poo facials- no explanation necessary.
* Poo facials- no explanation necessary.
Once the teenage years occur, crank calls and random pizza deliveries will become the norm.
Must be willing to break open thousands of cheap, plastic, breakable toys from foreign lands. If your hands cannot get the toy out of the massive amount of plastic, scissors and/or chain saw may be required. The toy may need to be assembled and do not assume there will be directions. Brush up on your Mandarin Chinese for easier assembly and to keep your sanity.
