The Words We Eat

Let's play a game. I'll say a phrase, you fill in the blank.

"When I'm a parent I will never _________"

(for those of you blessed with the walking messes known as "children" you can still play too, just think back to the gold days when you were a perfect parent - before you had children.)

"When I'm a parent, I will never let a sleep schedule dictate my life."

Hi, my name is Jessie and nap time is 10 and 1:30, bed time is 7:00. Don't mess with the schedule or I will mess with you. Seriously.

"When I'm a parent, I will never let my child make messes of meals. So gross."

What are some of the things you swore you'd never do as a parent, yet you now find yourself doing?
