(Sounds awful... some people/parks are more friendly than others... our closest one is not friendly...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-i-have-kids-i-will-never-_#post-1780022 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 19:33:35 +0000 youboots 1780022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will never.... Dress my kid in anything with phrases on them. Still trying to figure out how to establish that with my family eventually, I don't want to be ungrateful but I can't stand outfits the say "Mommys little......." </p> <p>Also no plastic toys, we will see how that goes.</p> <p>The link to the one about the lamb costume made my laugh like a crazy person. Good thing M is out biking.

This is cracking me up!!! So true and so sad.</p> <p>For me:<br /> "I would never travel with a baby/young toddler on an airplane, so inconsiderate and disturbing to other passengers while the baby doesn't remember traveling anywhere."</p> <p>- Oh yeah I did. MANY times. </p> <p>"I would never ignore my child like that. I would bring them up properly and they would never throw tantrums, scream, or behave poorly."</p> <p>- Oh boy. Now I understand this is really a tough job. It is by pure luck if your child were naturally crazy or naturally easy. And this has to do with if they had a good nap ...etc. A very intricate algorithm which contains variables that are out of control. Sincere apologies to all the past moms I met to whom I secretly judged them in my mind. Apologies. (I guess this is called Karma lol)</p> <p>ETA: And "I would never let my kid become my whole life."</p> <p>- I still try my best to enforce this concept but a lot of things in my life have changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-i-have-kids-i-will-never-_#post-1774925 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 19:15:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 1774925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnant-chicken-blog/2010/7/22/when-i-have-kids-i-will-never-______.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnant-chicken-blog/2010/7/22/when-i-have-kids-i-will-never-______.html</a></p> <p>Came across this old Pregnant Chicken article tonight, definitely found myself chuckling along in agreement. </p> <p>For me: </p> <p>-I will never give in to food demands. My child will eat when I make him/her. I would never feed my toddler frozen chicken nuggets, I want to broaden his/her palate early. </p> <p>Yeah...for dinner tonight Evan ate frozen chicken nuggets (dinosaur shaped), a handful of gold fish, strawberry applesauce (Mott's, because it was on sale), and a banana...so...protein, wheat/dairy, and fruit! Not too bad! </p> <p>-I will never share a bed with my child. </p> <p>Yeah, unless my child is a ridiculously needy sleeper who will just.not.sleep while alone. In which case, I will definitely snuggle with my baby in bed for 6 months. Awesome to get my bed back, but I love it when he sleeps with us now....I feel badly when he's sick, but I love that he still needs Mama cuddles all night. </p> <p>Those were my two big "When I Have Kids I Will Never". What about you? </p>
