 Have you seen the old commercial with the tattoo artist eating a candy bar while working on a big guy who looks down at his brand-new tattoo with shock and asks, “NO REGERTS?”.
The tattoo artist, looks at the guy a bit puzzled, then casually apologizes for being in a daze whilst eating her delicious snack, like she was oblivious to the whole thing. I’m sure what happens next is pretty interesting. Parenting is kinda the same experience. We have a baby and begin parenting under the daze of the shiny new experience. Sure, we may bring along some unhelpful parenting techniques that were used on us, but our intentions are good. So, with glazed eyes we run to buy the baby rearing books, go to the classes, call the moms and friends for advice and everything is just wonderful… until it isn’t.
