Things I said I’d never do as a mother
Before: Listen to “mom” music
Now: The light FM station is the one my car is always tuned too.
Before: Put hot sauce or soap on my children’s tongues.
Now: Well, they do say the punishment should fit the crime. (guilty as charged)
Before: Use the word, potty (Don’t really know why but I hated the way it sounded, actually still do)
Now: My house is full of “potty” talk
Before: Let my children run around sans clothing all day long
Now: Well, somedays I can barely even get myself dressed
Before: Yell at them
Now: I won’t believe you if you say you haven’t
Before: Let them throw a temper tantrum
Now: Those who expect you to have complete control over your children, have never had children
What have you done as a mother that you once said you never would?









The big one was drive a minivan and I had to cave in to sensibility when I was pregnant with our third.
I have also called my boys “young man” and have started many things with the words “we don’t….”
All of these, I swore I would never do and guess what…they all happened. :)
