Like Ronseal this does exactly what it says on the tin.
What things did you vow never to do as a parent (before you fell PG/While PG/When LO was newborn) that you ended up doing in the end?
Leave your judgement at the door and just fess up. Lol!
I said I'd NEVER give Fin a dummy. Since he made it clear he'll suck his thumb I've been trying to force a dummy on him daily.
I said I'd never put jeans on him while young. That went out the window at about 2 weeks.
When he was new I said I could never EVER (EVERRRRR) leave him to cry... at about 4 weeks old I realised he needed a wind down whinge to be able to nap and my incessant need to keep him from crying actually was keeping him awake and making things much worse. We're lucky and he just has a small whinge and goes to sleep quickly (and STTN) otherwise I would consider CC/CIO in a few months if he didn't.
I said I'd be easy going and not have a strict routine... my routine is so strict now that I get sweaty palms if anyone suggests going out in the evening and keeping him awake past 7:30.
I'm sure I could come up with more too lol xx
