Seriously. Six years. More if you have more than one kid. Add that to the list of things they don\u2019t tell you before you make the leap to the other side. You probably thought that lack of sleep would be no problem. After all, you were the queen of all-nighters in college. Well, friend, now you know the difference between staying up all night and sleeping all day and being awakened by a hungry shriek at 3 am and then again by a little one who is ready to party all day long at 6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/ndx\/?cid=xtr0-00bu-j2ah#\/welcomeBack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Saved by Caffeine<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/a><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19806\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine.png\" alt=\"custom t-shirt with a design that says saved by caffeine\" width=\"921\" height=\"1123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine.png 921w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-246x300.png 246w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-768x936.png 768w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-840x1024.png 840w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-860x1049.png 860w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-680x829.png 680w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-500x610.png 500w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-400x488.png 400w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-250x305.png 250w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-200x244.png 200w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-100x122.png 100w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-76x93.png 76w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/saved-by-caffeine-50x61.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through six years of nighttime potty breaks, nightmares, and one more glass of water, what can one do to get through the day?

And while tossing a pair of socks at a kid to pull on while you head off to make their lunch, maybe they can really make themselves useful by learning another essential family chore: making coffee. This shirt can be the start of it all. An everyday reminder to keep it down and fill it up. Of course, this will probably work best if you teach them to read first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/ndx\/?cid=nmp0-00b9-fwt5#\/welcomeBack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Mama Hair Don\u2019t Care<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair.png\" alt=\"custom t-shirt with a design that says mama hair don't care\" width=\"1006\" height=\"1121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair.png 1006w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-269x300.png 269w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-768x856.png 768w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-919x1024.png 919w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-860x958.png 860w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-680x758.png 680w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-500x557.png 500w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-400x446.png 400w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-250x279.png 250w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-200x223.png 200w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-100x111.png 100w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-76x85.png 76w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mama-hair-50x56.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1006px) 100vw, 1006px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a parent, especially of little ones, means that there can be a lot less time for doing things you might have taken for granted before\u2026 like grooming.
