For now anyway... </p> Bao on "Are you a different type of parent than you expected?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-different-type-of-parent-than-you-expected#post-423423 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:17:47 +0000 Bao 423423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes a little bit. I always wondered why people didn't just hire a babysitter and go out. I get it now. There's no way in heck my baby is staying with anyone but my mom or sister. I also never knew why parent's didn't use the cry it out method more often, it's harder when it's your own! I just find myself doing more of the things I swore I wouldn't do. </p> Mrs. Pen on "Are you a different type of parent than you expected?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-different-type-of-parent-than-you-expected#post-423421 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:16:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 423421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I'd be more of a worrier, more strict and follow the "rules". But I'm sooo lax. funny thing is DH is totally opposite what I thought too! </p> Andrea on "Are you a different type of parent than you expected?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-different-type-of-parent-than-you-expected#post-423420 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:16:47 +0000 Andrea 423420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I expected that I would be strict and I am. </p> Rubies on "Are you a different type of parent than you expected?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-different-type-of-parent-than-you-expected#post-423415 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:15:39 +0000 Rubies 423415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am exactly the type I thought I'd be (strict, no ifs, ands, or buts). And my husband is exactly as I thought (pushover, good cop, spoiler, etc.) </p> Mrs. Bee on "Are you a different type of parent than you expected?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-different-type-of-parent-than-you-expected#post-423411 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:14:34 +0000 Mrs. Bee 423411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought I would be a pushover, but I've actually been a lot more strict that I expected.</p> <p>Are you a different type of parent than you expected you would be? </p>
