Yes, lol.</p> <p>It also challenged me to learn to react to certain things (I would consider one of my big flaws is how reactionary I can be in emotional situations) and that has been one thing I know I have changed (and I think improved!) since having LO.</p> <p>I definitely perhaps worked on other flaws unknowingly too (ex, things that would have bugged me before I can more easily let go of recognizing there are more important things to focus on!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-having-kids-reveal-your-own-flaws#post-1272150 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 15:58:40 +0000 googly-eyes 1272150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already knew what my big flaws were but having dd has amplified them quite a bit! Everything I don't like about me I'm afraid of "passing" to her.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-having-kids-reveal-your-own-flaws#post-1272098 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 15:29:20 +0000 mamimami 1272098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh yes! First being married and then having kids... it's like holding up a huge magnifying mirror to myself... the kind that shows all your pores. It's not pretty. But I'm working on myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-having-kids-reveal-your-own-flaws#post-1272097 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 15:29:02 +0000 looch 1272097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My flaws have been with me my entire life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-having-kids-reveal-your-own-flaws#post-1272093 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 15:28:11 +0000 mediagirl 1272093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I knew about my worst flaws before having a kid, thankfully. I was lucky that way, so I knew about the things I would have to work on most when she started doing things like throwing her entire dinner plate on the floor.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-having-kids-reveal-your-own-flaws#post-1272064 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 15:18:28 +0000 Cherrybee 1272064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh crikey, yes!!! I'm also selfish and impatient *and* lazy (not that I have chance to be with a baby to look after!!). It has also made me face up to my poor attitude to my own and DH's health and to make some changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-having-kids-reveal-your-own-flaws#post-1272054 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 15:13:27 +0000 Beyond2 1272054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since having my son I have realized that I am pretty selfish and very impatient. Obviously it is hard to actually be selfish while caring for him, you just do what needs to be done, but many times I find myself internally whining. In my head there is a whole lot of "You pooped again! I don't want to change a diaper right now" or "Really? Do you have to throw your food on the floor just to make it harder to clean up." Man do I see myself as a selfish person now! Thankfully I do see where raising kids is making me into a better person. Breaking down my own flaws and hopefully making me better in the long run! </p>
