Things Parents Should Know

Things Parents Should Know

Scanning though sites I happened along a Huffington Post article by Melissa Sher. It is called “23 Things I Think New Parents Should Know”.  I found her points to be mostly fun and completely TRUE! Here are my thoughts on only a FEW of the items she brings to light…

#1: The more time and effort put into decorating a nursery, the more likely that the baby will sleep in your room.

My Response: Ok, so I thought that this where the “MOSTLY fun and completely TRUE” statement I made above comes into play, but I was mistaken. My daughter does sleep in her nursery, but I (as in me, myself, and I) did not lift a finger to get it ready. My mother-in-law and husband did all that work.

#’s 2, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 23- I have found to all be absolutely TRUTHS.

#3: My baby looks exactly like me, so this is a negative.

#4: I’m so scared, I only file them down.

#7: I only wish I had the nerve to do it!

#8: My daughter lights up and stops crying when we sing “Twinkle, Twinkle”.  (A real lifesaver when we were on an 8 hour flight.)

#9: I’ve found most people to be generally concerned…unless they also have an infant baby and try making theirs sound superior or get your sympathy.

#13: I have no intentions of being discreet, ha! That’s too much work.

#14: After the first few weeks, the poop talk stopped. There’s hope out there people.

#15: I’m not sure about this one. Babies are pretty darn cute.

#20: Except when they are squishy newborns and all you want to do is stare into their beautiful eyes.
