10 things I wish I had known as a young mom
Time is short, even though it feels long when they’re young. Cherish their childhood. It will be gone faster than you can believe. I know everyone says this and the days are long.
Go the extra mile even when it’s hard.

You really didn't know those things?
Seriously, these were new info only gained later in motherhood??? I guess if DesNews buys it then why not sell it!
There is a difference between know as in being able to rattle it off when asked a test question, and know as in having the practical knowledge and understanding its relative importance in the grand scheme of things. The first one can be obtained by reading a book or two or even just an Internet article. The second takes years of experience.
With regard to the things on the list I would say most people will be able to list them off, but relatively few know them on the level of practical grasp.
Motherhood is wonderful...I loved and still do love it.
