I wish i'd never...

[DetentionGrrrl]

What advice can you pass on about parenting, being as hindsight is 20/20 etc?

Given up breastfeeding without getting more help.The one and only regret of my life.

Don't bother shouting, it doesn't work!

had kids !

(but only when they wake up at 4.30 - like today, and yesterday, and the day before ......)

introduced my 5 and 3 year old to knock knock jokes. I'm going too murder someone if I hear them do the DR WHO one wrongly again!

let my ds(5) get so obsessed with dr who

Had sex

Taught my son the word no!

...started peeling apples for the kids, they will only eat them peeled...what a faf everytime!!!
How do they get the dr who joke wrong cadbury??

...Made such a bit palavar out of the tooth fairy the first time she came.

Dh said I was making a rod for my own back, but I didn't listen.

I now have three children all losing teeth and I'm up at all hours writing sparkly glittery fairy letters and creeping about the house at the dead of night with little gifts .

...shown ds who's 3 how to use the washing machine!! What was I thinking?!!!

Now at any time I could find him stuffing clothes into machine (clean and dirty) putting powder into drawer and turning the bloody thing on! He's done it a couple of times at his granny's house too. Very annoying. Even worse when he empties the machine of clean wet clothes and leaves them on the kitchen floor!

taught my DD about freedom of choice ....

If I hear one more time "but mummy... remember, it is my choice not yours" grrrrrr

Now I am having to teach her about 'obeying your elders'

Allowed the children to eat food anywhere apart from the kitchen

.... threatened to cut my DDs bunches off this morning because she was fussing about her hair

started giving stickers as rewards - dd wants them for everything and what I originally though was going to be cheaper than giving small gifts is costing me a small fortune!

started putting sugar on cereal (dh did this, and now they only eat it with sugar on)
