From Kris we get to "Tell it like it is" today. The point is to answer each question with a short answer... the first thing that comes to mind, I guess. You just tell it like it is!! Here goes:
Tell it like it is...parenting edition
1) On Discipline
Please do, so I don't have to do it for you when you come with your kids to my house.
2) On Potty Training
Don't stress about it. Don't let yourself get talked into doing it sooner than your kid is ready because everyone else "knows" what is best!
3) On Circumcision
It was my husband's decision. Doesn't matter to me. But I found out it is ridiculously expensive!!
4) On Buying XBoxes/PS/Gaming stuff
I don't play video games. But Ches does, so whatever.
5) On Bottlefeeding
I breastfeed exclusively at first, but you do what you have to do. We're about to start formula, I think, with the baby.
6) On TV watching
My kids watch too much. So do I.
7) On Elective C-sections
Stupid decision!! I've had three c-sections now (none were elective. One emergency, one required as a repeat, and the last was a pre-emptive move so we wouldn't have another emergency), and wish I could have a baby the "real" way. Again, do what you gotta do, though.
8) On Division of Labor for Parents
Have open communication on expectations, and both parents better stinkin' do their jobs (says the lazy, bad housewife!)
9) On How Many Kids
We have 3, hope for 1 more, and that is it for me. Some people are good with a ton of kids, some are only good with a very few.
10)On "Natural" Childbirth
Why would you purposefully put yourself in that kind of pain when you don't have to be?? I may have had c-sections, but I went into labor with all three, and let me tell you, I was asking for the epidural when I walked into the hospital!

I asked for an epidural, they told me that I was doing good and to wait a little longer and to try the shower, they broke my water at 4cm, I went in the shower and came out 20 min later and was 7 cm. Needless to say, I didn't get any drugs at all. It wasn't by choice but it really wasn't as bad a you would expect. I guess it helped that I only had to push for 15min :) I don't know but I might want to try natural again next time. I already know I can do it now. We'll see.
Ditto on so many of your comments. go you!
happy birthday sariah!
If you guys have an Xbox, you really should try Viva Pinata. You would probably like it, Sariah. But then again, you probably don't have time. Hope you had a great Christmas! Wishing you all the best for 2007!
All I can say is I had an epidural. I will always use that option, as it hurt enough with the thing. I can't imagine going through it without the drugs.
