If you could start all over what would you do differently?
What did you do really well raising your kids?
What did you do wrong?
What advice would you give a new parent?
Answer:
I would do alot of things diffrently-For one I would have never argued with my husband in front of my 2 sons. My husband and I have a really rocky marriage and I regret all the times that we verbally fought with each other. Another thing that I regret is yelling at my children. Instead of asking my kids to do something I would yell at them. That doesnt set a good example to your children.
I think though all in all that I raised my children well, they are happy and really considerate of others feelings. I gave my children unconditional love and that is all that matters to me.
The advice that i would give a new parent is love your child(ren) more than anything is this world, always make time for child because alot of parents doesnt realize that just how fast kids grow up. Make your time count!
not have them
I think the only thing I would do differently is to have more patience. One thing I did VERY wrong was to be a smoker. Now I am going to have to worry weather my kids will do it or not. What I did well was be open with them. So far so good. They tell me everything. Advice for a new parent? Remember that kids look at you for everything. Be what you want them to be. They watch even when we don't think they do.
I wouldnt start over, no way, no how. Everything we do, comes from the heart, we only want the best for our child, the things we do wrong in the meantime, we learn from and we dont repeat, its a learning process, regret nothing as everything youve stuffed up, youve learned valuable lessons from. Advice to a new parent: aslong as your child is fed, cleaned and loved, you have nothing to worry about.
I dont have kids, but i bet if my friend were to start all over she would've had her b/f wear a condom.
Well thats a tuff one. I love them but I hate the fact that me and their father split. So I would chance their dad#1, then let me see....the only thing I felt I did wrong was that my 6 year old was doing excellent in school "dean list" principals award trophies certificates all. I somewhat slacked off because I thought she could carry herself. She is now a B stsudent I working on this as we speak her last test was ok. But I know she can do better.
If I could start over I would have been a little stricter about keeping their rooms clean. They are teenagers now and what a mess!
I'm proud of the fact that my kids know they can talk to me about ANYTHING. I might be upset about something they've done, but I'll always support them and help them out of any situation.
My advice will be to let your kids know you will love them no matter what and that everyone makes mistakes. You don't expect them to be perfect but you do expect them to do their best.
Someone said more patience, and I couldn't agree more. My oldest has grown up so fast, and is SOOO precious, that I feel like, by not having patience, that I took the first several years of his life for granted.
I'm pregnant again, and I've learned a lesson. I hope that I can do better by this baby.
tech them some good values and how to treat people with respect
