Comments on: WHY Did Nobody Tell Me This??

No one told me that “pregnancy brain” NEVER GOES AWAY and that 8+months later I would still wander into my kitchen and forget what I had come there to do only to go back to what I was previously doing and remember….then go back to the kitchen and forget all over.

Or that I should practice doing every thing one-handed. EVERYTHING.

Or that it was ok to admit that I really CAN’T do it all.

Very good and wise advice, for sure. The only opinion that really matters is your own. More mom’s need to learn that.

For a long time I learned to embrace the iced coffee. Somehow it worked out better than hot ones for many years.

I’d go back and tell myself to ignore most other people. It doesn’t matter where they sleep, it doesn’t matter if I give them bottles or breastfeed, it doesn’t matter if I use Pampers or hand wash diapers…the truth is, people are full of asshat comments about these things, but NONE of them will ever be there at 2am when you have a puking 2 year old and a screeching newborn. Basically when they do that, their opinion counts, until then, they are talking to hear themselves talk. The end.

Yes! I always get a kick out of the co-sleeping nazi’s. They’re always the ones who end up with a kid in their beds forever.

OMG, the noisy toys comment totally made me laugh. I was the same way. V now has several toys with electrical tape over the speakers of them to try and tone them down just a little bit.

My trick for showering is as soon as I hear V start to stir, I’m up and in there. Then I go get her up. Otherwise, showers are just not part of the agenda.
Once she’s not in a crib anymore, though, I’m not sure what I’m going to do.

Awww… You’re so sweet.

I keep hoping I’ll magically start being on time as V gets older, but it doesn’t seem to be working that way.

number 2 is the only one i really have to deal with. no matter what time we wake up or walk out the door, i’m always 5 (or more) minutes late to everything. everything.

always.

i like this post a lot. you should write a book on the subject.

3 and 4, oh god yes. I haven't had a decent night of sleep in 6 years and it's almost like I have to schedule in a shower. .-= C @ Kid Things´s last blog ..Weekend Winners Vol. 8: Car Show Edition =-.

Seriously. The coffee. The showers. And my kids were never going to have toys that made noise. Who needs that? They would just play quietly with soundless toys. Cause I knew everything. Or, evidently, nothing at all. .-= Jennifer´s last blog ..#76. Make Skittles infused Vodka. =-.
