I swear that I would never...

There is a list at www.thebump.com of things mothers swore they would never do before they had children. I have a feeling after reading these that I will have to take back a couple of the ones that I have uttered over the years!

"I swore I wouldn't..."

• "...smell the baby's/child's butt in the middle of public and exclaim, 'Did you poop? I think you pooped!'"
• "...bribe my kid with food, but sometimes Puffs go a long way to making a happy home."
• "...become a short-order cook. Our son was going to eat what we ate, or he wouldn't eat at all."
• "...give our kid a pacifier...he ended up getting one while he was still in the hospital."
• "...let him have animal crackers for supper!"
• "...dress my kids in matching outfits."
• "...let them sleep in our bed."
