"I will never...."
So let's here them. What did you say "I will never" about? I want to hear one that you have done and one that you still hold to.
1. "I will never sleep with baby in the bed!" well I'm still not a fan of this, but have done it a handful of times.
2. "I will never..." put my kid on a leash. (the other day I saw a woman tie a shoelace around a kids wrist and tie it to the shopping cart. The kid was probably 6 or 7!)
This discussion has been closed.
Re: "I will never...."
1. I will never let my baby sit in a wet diaper for more than 2 hours. What was I thinking?!? Like I was going to wake my DS at night to change him!!!
2. I will never talk negatively about family members in front of DS. I remember my mom used to trash talk her MIL in front of me when I was little and I grew up holding a little grudge against my grandma.
I wasn't going to use a paci. That lasted all of 10 days.
I won't make my child my accomplice. I grew up in that household and it was toxic.
I won't use a pacifier until 3 months. Ha. Yeah right.
I won't put my child on a leash. Never. I don't care how busy a place is. NEVER.
1. I will never use the tv as a babysitter. When I need to get stuff done, he watches tv. Once we can get crafty and play more it's going off.
2. I will never hit my child. I hate seeing parents do it. It just seems so wrong to me. I was in the judicial field when I worked and it made me cringe when I saw cases like that. When a parent hits a child, they have lost control. It is never okay to lose control like that.
1. "I will never cosleep." Yeah, I haven't upheld that one at all. I just get too tired to try to sneak him back into the crib. Maybe when he starts STTN so I don't have to ease him into the crib more than once a night.
2. I will never force him to take pictures with santa. I'll probably take plenty of pictures on Christmas, so it's not like I won't have a picture record of Christmas. If, however, they want a picture with Santa, I'll let them do it.
Both of these, I held up to no paci with my other kids, but not this super sucky baby!
1. Co-sleep. She sleeps with us every night. I have a love/hate relationship with it.
2. Use a leash on my child. Same as others, but I can't predict how things are gonna go. But this, this will never happen lol
1.) "I will never bedshare!" DD is 14 weeks and we're just starting to break her, but sometimes Mommy needs sleep! lol.
2.) "I will never..." force my kids to clean their plate. I am determined to make sure my kids are healthy and I feel like being forced to clean my plate when I was little (with unrealistic portion sizes) that it is part of the reason I'm overweight now. I want things to be different for her.
I honestly can't think of anything.... I didn't really say I would never do ______ before my first and there is still nothing I really won't say never too, except maybe I'll never post a naked picture of my kid on the internet. We actually don't even take naked pictures here (not even fresh out of the womb) so that's one that's actually likely to never happen.

Started our exploration into the world of international adoption June 2012. We have no idea what this is going to look like but we are excited to find out!
1) Use a pacificer. Mhm.
2) Slap my child. I was slapped twice as a child and I still resent my mother and grandmother for each time.
I will never bed share--he's been sleeping with us since our first night home!
I will never force him to be in a sport just because his father wants him to play. He can decide what's right for him at what times. If he tries it and doesn't like it, so be it!
1. I will never use pacifiers. Man I tried so hard but now both DDs use them for every nap and bedtime!
2. I will never get so caught up in ideals that I am inflexible about my parenting. My girls are both humans with personalities. Plus I'm a mother of twins. %$#@ happens.
