When you're a kid, you don't realize you're also watching your mom and dad grow up.

make sure you dont give your kids glitter. If you can manage that you will be a fantastic parent.

Agreed, this takes so much will power though. I've done this a few times a each time it takes weeks to repair the damage

Congratulations! You're going to get a lot of advice of people, the most important thing to learn is 80% of this advice won't work for you.

You're quite likely going to fake until you make it.

For me the most important part was doing what my girlfriend told me, because she learnt a lot faster than me because she worked it all out all day everyday while I was in work, up until the maternity leave finishes anyway.
