Raising a toddler/preschooler really highlights all of those negative traits you need to work on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-786355 Thu, 16 May 2013 12:49:02 +0000 immabeetoo 786355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. SO humbled. I have always been of the mindset that I could research, work on, figure out any problem and achieve my goal... until I had a baby :) He couldn't care less what I've read or what I want to happen! I think it's humbled me, in a good way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-785975 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:10:58 +0000 googly-eyes 785975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I imagine it will be that way for most of us with the tantrums and all of the terrible 3 stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-785802 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:37:13 +0000 heartonastring 785802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yes. To the point that DH and I are now very seriously considering being one and done (we had always said before we wanted two). We love her to death, but this sh*t is HARD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-785677 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:11:54 +0000 JerricaBenton 785677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but more like, now I know for sure it is not.about.me.at.all. I mean, I knew that before but it wasn't something I could fully grasp the extent of until we had LO. It's pretty humbling to go out thinking you and the babe look super cute, only to realize she pooped through her pants and you have spit-up trailing down the back of your shirt :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-785658 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:06:41 +0000 butterbean 785658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes!! and i agree with others who say it applies to other apsects of life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784772 Thu, 16 May 2013 03:46:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 784772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784763 Thu, 16 May 2013 03:19:21 +0000 Honeybee 784763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. And honestly, I find parenthood even more humbling now that I have a three year old than I did when she was an infant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784577 Wed, 15 May 2013 22:13:04 +0000 mrsmate 784577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh yes. I did a lot of reading, took the classes, but nothing can prepare you for the actual experience of taking care of your new baby (unless you've already spent a lot of time around babies). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784543 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:53:22 +0000 MsLipGloss 784543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I will never under appreciate sleep, time, or my body again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784538 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:50:36 +0000 Weagle 784538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. I think especially in the non-baby areas of life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784535 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:49:32 +0000 googly-eyes 784535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: It applies to other aspects of your life too though, besides baby care specifically! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784530 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:47:21 +0000 mrbee 784530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784528 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:46:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 784528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm I guess I never felt much like a know it all... Being a nanny most of my life I knew going into this how difficult it would be... I wouldn't be able to give the kid back at 5pm and have and entire night to myself hahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-humbled-by-parenthood#post-784524 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:44:06 +0000 googly-eyes 784524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL says the whole point of the first few months is to bring the new parents on their knees. ;)</p> <p>I definitely did feel humbled. I always knew there was a lot I didn't know, but I still feel less judgmental about other parents!</p> <p>Did this apply to you? </p>
