Parents: What is something that becomes normal conversation topics once you become parents? (See details.)

Things you'd never discuss before having children... For instance, poop. Parents often have conversations about frequency, consistency, texture, color, and smell of their baby's poop. Even stuff like what foods make it stink the worst. Or how digested crayons add so much color. Or how "peanut butter" texture poop is the most difficult to clean....

    Usually it's more mundane than that it's things like shopping lists and school runs. The chores and who's turn is it!

    My ex & I went by the "if-it-needs-to-be-done...just-do-it" rule. We both found it silly to put caretaking chores on the other person if one was capable of getting it done that moment & move on.

    Only new parents or those with new babies regularly discuss poop. Once the babies reach a certain age you start regularly talking about all the things you once thought were normal but you know you're not ready to go through with your child: periods, PMS, ************, and making sure they never hear you when you have sex since they actually know what it is.

    Yeah... That's the phase I'm in now with my kids.... A lot of parents call that the "head-in-the-sand" period of raising kids. LOL

    I'm wayyy past changing diapers, as my babies are now 9 years old. I was sitting in a coffee shop yesterday when I overheard this conversation between two moms. Made me laugh.
