Things I said I'd never do

I'm sure this sort of post has gone around before, but I thought it might be interesting to hear what others have to say.

Before DD, I said I'd never use snacks as bribery, and I also thought we'd be able to avoid TV. Mommy fail.

We watch way more TV than I ever thought I'd be ok with. I blame constant teething and constant colds.

I didn't think I'd ever co-sleep, and here I am still 2 years later...

TV is my big one too. I've got a little guilt about that one but sometimes I need that break it gives me.

co sleep for sure or yell....

oh and let her still have a ba at almost 2yrs old...thought i'd have her off ba at 18 mos....but it's only one a day at night time

Hmmmmmm, TV for sure, along with a lot of food related items. She eats eggo waffles like every breakfast and although I pair them with a squeezie and fruit it yogurt I would have been appalled at myself. But she loves them with a passion. :-)

I also breastfed fifteen months which was longer than I thought I'd make it.

I thought that I wouldn't cater as much to her schedule as I do.

I thought I would just leave her at the gym daycare every day to work out. Haha.

I never thought I would let a baby sleep in the swing. Then with reflux we did for four months!

Add me to the TV list. Sometimes it is the only way I can get anything done.

…be playing on my phone at the playground.

…let him eat the amount of sugar and processed crap that he eats.

He doesn't watch TV or get screen time, but that is because we don't really watch TV (sometimes we'll watch it as a couple after he goes to bed as relaxation time). This is something I am really proud of sticking with, but we plan to break the streak by allowing him to watch Christmas movies with us this year.

TV for sure. Sofia definitely saves my sanity most days. And I'm not above candy bribery for potty training purposes.

TV and sugar, for sure. Lots of mama guilt over here! And eggos are a huge hit in this house too!

I said for sure I would not be one of those moms who refuses to stay overnight away from DS. Here I am almost 2 years later and have never spent a single night away from him.
Guess I need to get over it by June because I will have no choice when the new baby comes!

I am also with you other moms with tv time and sugar.
I snickered at a dad who got very upset with his wife for letting their 1 year old have a lollipop while getting his first haircut. He was like, "He's never had sugar before!!!!!!" She was like "Well he isn't crying anymore is he?" Loved it!

Oh god, TV for sure. I'm trying so hard to keep it limited for her, but sometimes it's the only way i get anything done!

And @katrine_05‌, right there with you re:picky eaters. Bridget eats so little, I end up making the dishes she likes over and over, just so she eats.

And I do remember saying something about not being a short-order cook....

Add us to the TV list for sure and I also said a baby wasnt sleeping in my bed and here we are almost 2 years later and she has never slept a night in her own bed lol. I also let her eat whatever she wants most of the time.
