Yep! Or even if you actually do them it won’t have any effect at all. It’s all glamour, isn’t it?!

Well, I guess that’s what they’re there for! I should also add: don’t let you husband eat your snacks (as he’ll chip his tooth and never let you forget it!)

Of course it’s not 🙂 Hilarious! x

And having your leg cut off with a rusty saw ‘stings a bit.’

I remember an NCT counsellor showing us all about birth by way of a knitted doll. Meanwhile out in the corridor us heavily pregnant women could hear shrieks and screams but whenever we glanced nervously at each other, the counsellor would smile benignly and say, ‘they’re making a bit of a fuss.’

The thing is as you say in post 19, IT ALL PASSES. In the end all children learn to feed and dress themselves to walk and poo in something other than their nappies. Landmarks like ‘at what age is your child meant to be doing something’ is just a device to worry you. Trust yourself more and the ‘experts’ less.
