What did you say..?

The big one was 'i will never use a dummy'.

And yup - big dummy convert here!

We didn't really have any expectations per say as to what having children would be like, so didn't say we would never do anything, in case we had to eat our words.

However I do remember saying to DP (rather hopefully) before the birth of our first child that women had been going through labour and birth for millions of years so surely it can't be THAT bad, right? LOL. I now tell everyone who asks that evolution could have done a *much* better job of that process.

Me too with the dummy... and then I went to ok I'll use it but only for bedtime. Yeah right, I take it EVERYWHERE in public just in case, and in the car... because who can stand sitting in a car with a screaming baby?

I think that might have been it, I can't think of any others at the moment.

I was never giving them junk food lol! And they were going to have fairly strict routines.

They do the snot wiping thing too. I have also never eaten their slobbered on leftovers, but Phil does

Don't have my kid yet...
But I was never going to be a pregnant lady who only wore jandals. I was still going to wear pretty shoes!
Haha, the only thing I can wedge my gigantic feet into is jandals!

Dummies here too hehe. But also I wasn't going to work, I work part time now. I wasn't going to let the baby in our bed as a newborn, I did that at times when he wouldn't settle. I never specifically planned not to eat slobbered on leftovers and I don't but I have had them shoved in my mouth on occasion by my son hahaha. I was never going to formula feed either, but that didn't quite work how I planned. Nothing ever does. I had to laugh recently when my SIL who has a 3 month old previously said she would never ever use a dummy, then a photo popped up on FB with her child with a dummy. I have learnt to never say never anymore hehe apart from the obvious things like smacking, you never know what you'll do when you're desperate/nothing else works.

Oh I was also never going to do baby led weaning (too messy for me no other reason) but my son from about 8 months refused to eat any other way so Ive had to get over it hehe

I was never going to co-sleep. Didn't see any reason for it. And here we are with one of my girls in our bed most nights - not that I want it that way but for the sake of us all getting some sleep I'm taking the easy road (for now).

And I was going to be a working mum, was going to go back to work when baby was 6 months. In actual fact I went back when they were 19 months and have already resigned

Oh and I was never gonna bribe my kids with food,....lol do it all the time for peace now- ie- feeding them snacks in the buggy/car to keep them occupied and settled! An first day back at school- if u go into class when the bell rings without making a fuss I will buy u an iceblock after school- totally worked, shes been getting dropped of at the gate since and only needed the one iceblock, lol!

Oh the best laid plans

I was never going to put a child in preschool - DS went to daycare at 5 months.
Never use disposables - don't use cloth now
Never use formula ( had to with both children)

There are so many.

no dummy - failed with number one, tried to with number two and she wouldnt take it lol
I eat slobered on food occasionally the little one feeds me but more often its just left overs - cause If I didtn I wouldnt eat somedays there just isnt time
No co sleeping - didnt with number one - did for a little while with number 2

I definately dont wipe boogers on me
I dont wipe with spit! yuk!! my mum did that to me and it was gross!
