“I sometimes will put my daughter in her ExerSaucer and give her a little mini karaoke concert. She bounces and smiles while I sing, and it makes me feel good about my singing ability.” -- MrsG NC
“I changed a diaper right before I left for work. When I got to my office, I kept smelling baby poop. It took me an hour and a half to realize that it was on my jacket -- and I have to wear a jacket at work. I tried to wash it off in the bathroom and ended up sitting in my office wearing a damp and poopy suit coat all day.” -- LCB34
“I accidentally walk outside with one of my boobs hanging out about once a week or so. My teenage neighbors are going to be sad when my son weans.” -- Ananke
“I put my baby down for a nap with a wet diaper today. She fell asleep nursing, and I wasn't about to wake her just to change her. She ended up sleeping for an hour and a half, so it was worth it.” -- KelleyA
“My daughter dropped her pacifier on the living room floor today. I picked it up and put it back in her mouth without washing it.” -- princessmah
“I never strap my daughter into her high chair at home. When we’re at restaurants, I do, but never at home. I push her tray in tight to keep her snug, and I'm never more than four feet away, so I figure why bother?” -- cali_girl92504
“I fully intend on having my son sleep in bed with me while my partner is on a work trip. My prebaby ‘I'll never let my child sleep in my bed’ self is pointing and laughing.” -- danes22
“I love my baby, but I miss my old life with my husband prebaby. I just hope I can grow to love my new mommy life as much.” -- HappyAardvark
“On the way home from the grocery store, my son woke up and started crying. I knew he was ready for a feeding, but I really wanted to go to Starbucks. I stopped on the way home even though it meant letting him cry for an extra 10 minutes. I feel guilty about it, but he had a rough night last night and mommy needed a latte.” -- sharksfan
“I don't really like my MIL holding my daughter. It makes me nervous, and I don't think my baby likes it either -- she cries and it kills me.” -- madcat0701
