V funny and totally agree with all your points (yes we have a collection of buggies, including the Phil & Teds, yes we ignored all babysitting offers in the first year of parenthood, madness.. all so true!)<br /><br />My tips would be:<br />1. ignore ANYONE who tells you that your baby is teething / hungry just because he/she puts his/ her hands near her mouth - it's not true and just puts you under more pressure to feed/ soothe/ dispense medicine<br />2. Lavender oil and soothing music will make ABSOLUTELY no difference during labour - it's all an NCT myth!!<br /><br />http://nappyvalleymum.blogspot.com/Nappy Valley Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583640066880294647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215921114562401426.post-7626935794264357982010-09-10T07:42:23.468-07:002010-09-10T07:42:23.468-07:00Expat - agree with the work thing, I think it also...Expat - agree with the work thing, I think it also works the other way too, I know so many women who want to be at home but end up working 5 days a week!<br />Diandra - you will end up being very very foolish with children about!<br />Tattie - Totally with you on the walking thing.

Perhaps they never did hence me forgetting...The only thing I would add and wish I had done is to go out walking with the baby in a pram as much as possible, it puts them to sleep, you lose weight and everyone feels better!Tattieweaslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723634612274763884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215921114562401426.post-38427500687158731322010-09-09T10:03:16.141-07:002010-09-09T10:03:16.141-07:00Hilarious!

No children of my own (yet?), but lots of young parents around, and it's funny seeing all the things they are "doing differently because all the other people don't know what's going on". <br /><br />Yes, of course. Because no one has been a parent before they took on the job.<br /><br />I am already looking forward to my own children, so I can be foolish for a change.

You will end up bitter and twisted, drinking far too much wine every night, and ageing prematurely. (OK well maybe not quite that bad but just don't...)<br />Oh and completely agree on the stinky Diaper Genie.
