I struggle with this so I hope something similar changes in me too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-things-that-make-life-easier-now-that-youre-a-parent#post-1104431 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 05:04:23 +0000 lamariniere 1104431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Knowing what is important in life. Practically none of my IRL friends have kids and I feel like a lot of them are still searching for what is important to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-things-that-make-life-easier-now-that-youre-a-parent#post-1104428 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 04:50:39 +0000 Kemma 1104428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me about seven or eight months, but I got zen :-) I just gave up worrying about whether or not I was "ruining" my daughter by bedsharing and nursing to sleep and went with it!</p> <p>On a more practical note, I routined my housework so that I do a particular task each day. Doing one thing a task a day (vacuuming, laundry etc) makes running the household much more manageable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-things-that-make-life-easier-now-that-youre-a-parent#post-1104425 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 04:35:59 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1104425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll start:</p> <p>I care less now :) What I mean by that is I don't spend as much energy about other people's negative opinions, comments, or actions. Sure, I get upset, but I can let it go a lot easier now. I just don't have time to get as butt-hurt as I did before. It's great! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-things-that-make-life-easier-now-that-youre-a-parent#post-1104424 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 04:31:57 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1104424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a new mom, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the never-ending list of responsibilities. Life won't ever be the same!</p> <p>We're all aware of the many difficult aspects of parenthood and it's fun to list and talk about them, but I thought to start a different list: <b>a not-so obvious list of things that actually make your life a little easier</b>.</p> <p>List things that make life a little easier now that you're a parent. It can be small, inconsequential, everyday things or important aspects of your life that's changed as a result of having your LO. </p>
