I consciously tried to only do stuff with the first I felt I could manage with two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1414221 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:02:07 +0000 Andrea 1414221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still made all the food for my 2nd LO. We do have food allergies so I can't be relaxed about food, unfortunately. It is kind of stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1413814 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:11:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1413814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel I'm more relaxed with my first than most moms! I'm sure I still do some new mom things but I'm not as crazy as I thought </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1413800 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:08:13 +0000 Dandelion 1413800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you get more relaxed as they get older. I'm definitely "whatever" about a lot of things with DS. You learn that the world won't end if they eat a cookie before dinner once in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1413788 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:06:26 +0000 looch 1413788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is totally true if you have children without special needs. I think the only situation where it could get more intense is if your second or third kid has special needs. Then, you do give a sh*t, but in a totally different way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1413783 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:05:21 +0000 Maysprout 1413783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bit true. It's pretty quick for us to make baby food so I don't think LO2 will eat store bought ( but who knows she's still not there yet) but I have used more disposables this time around - between traveling a lot and so many more clothes for a winter baby and laundry. We still use cloth, just not as one tracked mind about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1413775 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:03:27 +0000 autumnlove 1413775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, definitely more relaxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1413766 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:02:34 +0000 blackbird 1413766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My coworker has a 5 year old and 7 month old twins. She said you definitely stop giving a shit :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1413745 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:57:26 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1413745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have any yet (until next month!) but DH's friend at work were talking about introducing their first babe to solids. And one guy with three kids said they were really careful with their first to ensure no allergies, etc. But the third started solids because her older siblings randomly started feeding her one night at dinner and the parents realized "oh! i guess she is ready.. good job guys!" hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-relaxed-as-you-have-more-kids#post-1413729 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:52:58 +0000 mrsjyw 1413729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read a funny comment the other day...</p> <p>1.) Your first born gets homemade, organic baby food.<br /> 2.) Your second born gets store-bought baby food<br /> 3.) Your third born is lucky if they get scraps at dinner.</p> <p>True? :) I already surprised myself at how not OCD I've been since I've had DS. I have a feeling it'll ring true for me. </p>
