What are some of the things you haven't done until you became a parent (excluding childcare + rearing)?
I’ve been thinking lately that I’ve never really helped a mother along before I became a mother myself…that is, I never helped anyone haul a stroller with a baby up 3 flights of stairs…I never tolerated a screaming baby on the train or a plane…I never really considered how breastfeeding is policed in public.
Now, when I see a mother struggling, I know how she feels, I know how I can help and it bothers me when others don’t help. I get that babies cry and I know how my own do sometimes without it being my fault and I certainly have strong feelings about having a person breastfeed anywhere they want.
What about you? What are some of the things you now do that you never did before parenthood?
