My sister-in-law recently asked me if there’s anything I’ve done in motherhood that I swore I’d never do prior to having a baby. I’d like to believe that most parents have these “Oh I’ll never…” stances that suddenly disintegrate when the baby arrives, because I can’t be the only one. Right?! Come on. For me, I adamantly claimed Nate and I would maintain the same lifestyle with a baby as we did without, as in: I will absolutely keep up my beauty routine (i.e., manicures, hair, etc.), we will continue to have weekly date nights without the baby, I will not schedule my life around the baby’s nap time. Oh my goodness! Zero for three, friends. I can count the number of manicures I’ve had in the last eight months on one hand, we have gone out to dinner twice (not even by ourselves and one was for a work event) without Waverley, and my life is 99% dictated by naps. What. Happened. To. Me.

I also thought I could avoid splurging on super cute accessories. Clearly these headbands from Little Hip Squeaks beg to differ.

So, I’m dying to know what your “Oh I’ll never do that as a parent” thing is. Whether you thought you’d only provide organic, non-processed food, never give formula, never sleep with your baby, never post a picture a day on Instragram…let’s get it all out there. What did you swear you’d never do as a parent yet do all the time now?
