We are all guilty...spewing advice at new/expectant mommmies, overwhelming them possibly on an already stressful or busy day. Why does it happen? Do we really mean to do it? Personally, I think we get so proud of what we figured out for ourselves that we don't want anyone to take 10 months to figure out our number one trick. I mean, wouldn't you have liked to know what worked for your baby before it was time to figure out the next stage?
Unfortunately, I feel like I did this to a very dear cousin yesterday. Poor thing, she's only five months along and I'm over here erupting with advice about diapers, sleep, child care expenses and the list goes on. What's wrong with me??? Granted, she said thanks for the advice and seemed really appreciative. However, I think I may need to start blogging more. That way the advice is there if it is WANTED and I'm not taking up anyone's few free moments in their day.
The bad thing is, this is not my first offense. Some of my other cousins would tell you...not only have I spewed advice, but they've also left my house with samples of stuff!! I'm no expert, but I think I really love this mommy stuff and finding things that work. Perhaps this blog should fulfill that purpose instead of innocent bystanders!
