Survey done and I have to say it's all lovely and fluffy and all but I think adverts with soft lighting, fluffy towels and perfect parents with gurgling babies in spotless houses do prospective parents no favours. It isn't exactly a secret that adverts sell a lifestyle as well as just a product and when I was exhausted, my house was a tip and I wanted that screaming infant to just be quiet before I went insane it was just something else that made me feel like a failure for not achieving. More realism please!

[HeffalumpTheFlump]

Done!

[ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath]

Done!

[AntoinetteCosway]

Done. Please let me win-JL is opening up in our city in the next couple of months and I'm pregnant again with loads of baby bits to buy!

[IceBeing]

urgh. Well that was disgustingly fuzzy-newborn-snuggle-wuggles-are-adorable .

[AllThatGlistensIsChristmassy]

Done

[SaltySeaBird]

Oh I think newborns are adorable. Maybe I was lucky with mine but I loved those first few months. TTC#2 so hopefully I'll get to experience them again (although we're not having much luck so far ...)

[ChameleonCircuit]

Done

[ilovesmurfs]

Done.

[K8Middleton]

Hahaha at first tooth being best bit. Have they even met a baby? Do they not know the horrors of teething? And newborns being babies less than 9 months


It did read like a survey written by someone without children who is trying to imagine life with babies. All that cuddle guff!

[Tyranasaurus]

'What would I give up to go back in time for a cuddle with my newborn baby?' There is nothing anyone could give ME to go back to that colicky hell

[tortoisesarefab]

The advert should show an overflowing washing basket, disheveled mum with no clothes to wear and a clothes line with 400 bibs and muslins! At least thats what its like with a refluxy, vomiting baby :)

[LegoCaltrops]

Done. And yes, the entire survey reads like it's been written by someone who doesn't have children.

[GodRestTEEMerryGenTEEmen]

I thought it was very complicated, actually.

Also 'last 4 years or so' and yet the age list goes up to 18?

[sealight123]

done diddly done :)

[cardamomginger]

Done. But so fluffy I feel I need to run the lint remover over myself before I feel clean and like 'me' again.

[beautifulgirls]

Your title suggests if I have a 4 year old I can complete this but it will not let me answer Q2 unless I have a child 3 or under.

[QuietNinjaTardis]

Done. Dd is 2 days old so I'm in snuggly newborn mode.

[CaramelisedOnion]

Done. The question about what I would give up to have another cuddle with my newborn baby was a bit weird.....I love cuddling my 2 year old son as he is just as much as I loved cuddling him when he was a newborn.....if not more as now he cuddles back!

[AnnMumsnet]

beautifulgirls - it says 4 and under: fine to to it with a 4 year old!

[beautifulgirls]

It will not physically let me progress through the questions unless I change one child age to 3yrs or under - So I gave up and didn't submit obviously.

[beautifulgirls]

scrap that....seems to work in firefox but not IE.

[EauPea]

Done.
Would give pretty much anything to go back to newborn stage

[FoxyRevenger]

Done. Made me realise how much I would give to go back to cuddling my daughter when she was newborn. I was pretty much scared stiff those first few days and treated her like a bomb about to detonate.
