OK so which of your 'own rules' did you break??

No solids before 6 months - we started at 3.
No junk food - he loves a fling chippy now and then
No juice - yeah right - but I do dilute mine but most days its all he will get down, he hates water
No tv - ok this has become my saving grace if I need like 5 min to prep dinner or something
No sleeping in his own room - we actually wanted to co sleep, and on the first night home from birth I said bugger this! Not getting any sleep and so into his cot he went and thats where he happily stays.

And the list goess on and on

I am slowly breaking them all.

No tv. Over the weekend he now watches at least 2 films a day. One at 5 in the morning then one in the late afternoon.

No juice. He gets one glass per day now.

No junk food. Who doesn't eat flings anyway?

No co sleeping. He goes to sleep in his own room but we love it when he sneaks into our bed at 3 in the morning. For 5 minutes that is.

We all have ideas of how to perfectly parent our children. And then we have them.

know the saying "we are perfect parents, until we have kids of our own!"

My broken rulles:
1. No Co-sleeping - well wen stuck with a crying baby @ 2am and nothing is calming her down Im allowed to sneak into bed with her

2. bed-time will be @ 18:00 - wen I get home @ 6pm after long day @ work, need to spend atleast an hour with my baby. otherwise feel so guilty about neglecting my LG.

Parenthood is hard!

I said I will never smack my children, I broke that rule.

Also bedtime is 20:00, I cant actually remember when was the last time we followed that rule.

No junk food in the week. This gets broken quite often.

BTW Joli, I also saw those dummies in the living and loving and I bought the mag just for the chicks dig me dummy, Kyle is attached to his dummy but refuses to suck on this one

I think I have broken so many of my own rules. Here are some of them:

1. NO CO-SLEEPING! - Check my siggie am totally converted
2. No Junk Food - K does get Mac donalds every now and then
3. No Flings and cheese curls - K often have them for breakfast on weekends
4. No TV as a babysitter - K watches Toy Story every day so I can have time to cook/go to the loo/take a shower etc

I said i will never have a child who wants other people`s food when she just had her own. Well my lg will look at you and even want to physically reach your plate when u eating

And also said no child of mine will scream & throw tantrums because i will hit her so hard. Phumi does it and im left speechless & powerless

Hi Girls. Would like to know which of your own rules you broke since becoming a mommy. I always used to say that my kids will always eat all their food and if they don't, well then they will get the leftovers for the next meal! Now that I'm a mommy, I couldn't care less if they don't want to eat and will even let them have yoghurt for supper if that's what they want!

I also said my kids will never get a dummy - and what did I do last night? I gave Callum a dummy! The free one that came with the Living and Loving mag because he wouldn't stop screaming! And he did fall asleep with it. So I feel terrible, but hey desperate times!

I also faintly remember something along the lines of my kids will never throw a tantrum in a shop and well if they do. I will give them a hiding...............
