Rules I Break

Apparently, there are things that make you a good parent and things that make you a bad one.  I'll spell it out for you.

-I don't cloth diaper.  Ain't nobody got time for that.  But apparently I am killing the earth by not doing so.
-I let Aria watch tv.  She absolutely loves it.  I turn on Disney movies for her when I absolutely need to get something done.  No, she doesn't just watch tv all day.
-I supplement with formula.  If I'm going to be out while she needs to be fed, I take a bottle with us.  If I'm leaving her with daddy or her grandparents, they feed her formula.  I simply don't have the time or the desire to pump.  Sue me.
-At naptime when I simply don't have the patience for a 20 minute scream-fest, I cheat and put her in her bouncy seat and bounce her to sleep.  Works like a charm.
-I'm not planning on making my own baby food.  I should, but I'm just not.  Nope nope nope.
-I'm going to try her on rice cereal at 4 months.  Apparently this is not the cool thing to do anymore.  All the cool moms are waiting to introduce ANY solids til 6 months, and cereal is not on that list, because supposedly there are no nutrients.  That's not what the box says, but ok...
-When the bebe's been crying for 45 minutes straight, I sometimes put her in her crib, shut the door, and walk away for 10 minutes.  I have to keep my sanity somehow.

I guess being told how to parent comes with the territory.  :)
