I feel ya, and totally get it. All that alone time is amazing the first few months. We've taken her to the aquarium and some parks etc when she was <6months. But now that is is getting closer to 11 months she is totally enjoying those activities a lot more.
This trip was for family, so seeing her cousin play with her makes it worth it to us. But yea, if it was just me and her, flying wouldn't be planned for a while! |

| A lot of the guilt was definitely due to the influence of my sister, who was always saying "You NEED to do this" and "You NEED to do that" etc. I am, and always have been, perfectly content not doing much of anything. The minute I stopped feeling like I had to justify my choices to her, I was able to enjoy just hanging out doing "nothing" with the baby all day, again recognizing this is time we will never get back. Approaching 14 months and now it definitely doesn't seem like enough! |

| Lol, I do think about that but ultimately I'm not concerned. I WANT my kid to know about my mistakes, shameful and/or embarassing behaviour, etc. Getting to know your parents as real people and not the idealized, childish version of who you think they are is a huge part of growing up. I would hope that my kid already has fairly good idea of that by the time she may stumble upon TA. |

| To you new parents out there. What is your opinion on spanking. I've done it a few times and I hate it. BUT it works. I just feel like after it though. My good buddy (who doesn't spank) has told me that he doesn't spank because he learned that "it was his parents own frustrations in communicating with me" that led to the spanking. |

| See, there's your problem. You're taking it out on your kid when you need to be taking it out on that meat. |
