Parents Are Sharing Hilarious Photos Of Themselves Before And After Having Kids

Updated August 25, 2021

As we get older, a lot of things change. Nights of partying with friends turn into early bedtimes with our significant others. We still find time to go out and let loose, but as we age, our stamina does, too. But, the moment that we have kids, that's really when everything changes. We aren't the same people we once were. No more drinking all night long when we're up changing diapers every hour on the hour.

Now parents are sharing how much their life has changed since having kids with hilariously real before and after photos.

This guy went from muscles to tutus.

Girl dads are truly in a league of their own. Days of flexing in photos on the beach turn into wearing tutus and tiaras to make their little girls smile.

Party girl for life... right?

Some of the wildest college girls grow up to be moms who don't want to get out of bed or brush their hair. When you have kids, everything changes, guys.

From youthful and vibrant to 'OMG I need to go to sleep.'

Kids age you. That's really what it comes down to. Having a few kids means that you will look like you sped up time somehow.

Selfies no more.

Solo selfies in the mirror are a thing of the past once you have a kid. They're always going to be on your hip, so if you want to snap a photo, they'll be right there.

Vacations and hitchhiking are a thing of the past when you have little ones.

From fun and adventurous to vacuuming and wearing a toddler at the same time. How does cleaning the house on a Saturday night sound in terms of an adventure?

Date night changes a lot.

Date nights used to mean going out in their best outfits and getting done up. Now, date night is getting to sleep for a few hours while the baby does, too.

A different type of shot.

Some of us used to drink straight from the bottle. Now, we take shots from a different kind of bottle, one that is probably being fed to us by our kids.

Used to hang with celebs, now we're sleeping with our brightest stars.

From meeting celebrities and going backstage to being fast asleep with our babies at home. Sometimes, our priorities change when our babies are born. Can't be running wild now!

When he walked down the aisle, he didn't anticipate this.

Girl dads — they just can't say no to their little princesses. Even if it means matching outfits including bows and tutus and the rest of the girly stuff.

A different kind of "bang."

Some guys used to be all about the women in the club, dancing up a storm, and hitting on everyone. Now, they're the ones getting hit right in the face first thing in the morning, courtesy of their toddler.

Some moms still make it work.

Some moms like to party both before and after having kids. And, when they want to have a drink, they find a way to make it all work. This mom gets it.

From relaxing to "relaxing."

Sometimes relaxing means going fishing with some friends and having a few beers, and other times relaxing means laying in bed with two kids on a Saturday morning while watching cartoons.

Who said having kids was going to be fun?

A few years ago she was out at the club dancing the night away with her girls. Now, she's spending the night crying on the couch with her baby. You can really see the resemblance here, though!
