Sometimes, we wish we had the benefit of hindsight– knowing what to have said, what to have done would have made the situation a whole lot easier. Asda would like you to tell them about the things you wish you’d known about before being a parent to a baby/toddler. Would being a new parent have run more smoothly had you known certain things before? What sort of things would you have liked to have known?

Here is what Asda has to say: “Here at Little Angels, we understand how daunting it can be waiting for the arrival of your long awaited little one. That’s why we’d love you to share your top tips on anything from being a parent for the first time or what’s different when you have your second.”

So what do you wish you’d known before becoming a parent? Time flies by so quickly - maybe you wish you’d known to take more videos or photos. Perhaps you wish you’d known that children are much more expensive than you originally thought, so you could have planned better. Maybe you wished you’d known about a support network that you could have spoken to from the very beginning. Or maybe you simply wish you’d known how hard it would be so you could have mentally prepared yourself?

Whatever your story is, Asda would like to hear about it. All those who post below will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 Asda voucher.

Thanks and good luck!

That it would get harder as they got older! You think it's tough when they are babies but you pray to go back to those times once they are teenagers.

I wish I knew more about pnd. I had it after my second child, I thought I was going crazy but was too scared to tell anybody for a long time. I was scared that my kids would be taken away because I thought I was going insane. If I had of known about pnd I could of been treated a lot quicker

How hard but enjoyable it would be! And that the newborn stage is by far the easiest!

I wish I appreciated the spare time I had before children. It really annoys me when childless adults say they don't have time to do something.

I wish I knew how guilty I would feel about every little decision that may affect my daughters' future.
