I thought my child would eat whatever I put in front of him or he would go hungry. I mean, some parents do that and more power to them, but my kid has some willpower. Nuggets and fruit it is.
I thought breastfeeding would be easy and I'd have no problems despite my boob job and I'd be successful for a year, at least.
I thought Elias would eat everything, like any vegetable and never have any fast food or food that isnt organic. Now I'm thrilled if he eats some pizza.
Oh and I thought for sure he wouldn't watch any TV.

I thought worst case a kid might not sttn. I was fully prepared for it to take up to 2 years. I had NO fucking clue a kid could literally not once sleep through thenightever. I mean, she's slept 8 hits straight before but not while when I slept. Six hours straight if sleep has happened for me like 4 times since her birth.
You just breast feed them every 3 hours, if you do it all the time they just get Into a habit of snacking. Also they shouldn't NEED to eat to fall asleep.
I'm going to keep going to the gym 5x a week as soon as cleared for exercise
My child will not eat chicken nuggets, Mac n cheese at restaurants. She'll eat gourmet truffled vegetables pate and beet salad. LIKE THE FRENCH KIDS RIGHT
No child in the bed, ever. It is simply a bad habit
Never cosleep with a baby, not only is it a bad habit but it's so dangerous!
No tv until 2 and even then only special occasions
I won't bribe my kid to eat food with sweets and promises of tv.

Oh, I was the queen of thinking I wasn't going to accumulate a lot of toys or baby gear. I used to talk about how babies around the world didn't need a lot of stuff and neither did my baby. LOL.
Yeah I remember reading something about them being overstimulated by too many toys and books and I was all "I'll just keep one toy and a couple books put at a time and rotate things periodically" what kind of crack was I smoking , who has time for that
Every time I'd read something like this I'd talk to H all about it, he would be noncommittal and I'd be all pissed at his lack of passion. Like this is what were going to DO!! LETS PLAN IT!!! Then I would lose interest and the following week start spouting off about some other random crap we really needed to consider doing and he'd be like "hmmm, yes, dear" lol

SAH is easy
PPD or PPA wouldn't happen to me
Kids go to sleep when they're tired
As long as you model good eating and offer exposure to a variety of foods, your kid will be a good eater. Picky eating starts with the parents. (Karma is a bitch! I'm so getting paid back for all the parents of picky eaters who I used to judge)
Babies eat every three hours
Once a baby starts STTN, they stay that way (lolololol)
