Back Seat Parenting
My friend sent me this....I too am guilty of being a 'back seat' parent before LO was born - OH how no amount of words, advice, books, TV can prepare you!!

One of mine was about my SIL who used to ask my BIL to occasionally get up with thier LO to help her do a feed. I would scoff she was lazy and he had work the next day. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA my OH frequently gets a well placed elbow in the head if I have been up every 45 mins with LO and ask him for help now.......

My bugbear, and I hope I never turn into one of these parents - are those that allow their child/ren to run around restaurants/pubs and leave food all over the floor and don't bother their arse to tidy up before they go! I refuse to be one of those no matter how challenging lo may decide to be!!! lol.
I also thought I'd hop lovingly out of bed to tend to each and every one of Adam's whimpers, while gazing fondly at Hubby slumbering next to me... Not likely, most nights poor M gets a sharp dig in the ribs when it's his turn to do a shift
and i will flick him the Vs at 3.30 when i am knackered and up with baby and he is snoozing!! only reason i will let him sleep is that he drives a long way for work and i want him to get there safely!!!
Must learn to be less opinionated.........
