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!

Done!

Done!

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!

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

Done

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 ...)

Done

Done.

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!

'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

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 :)

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

I thought it was very complicated, actually.

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

done diddly done :)

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

Done
