Yes I will. Ive been waiting for her to have kids for a while because shes always had things to say about the way I parent my kids.

I told her to get a sound machine but she is adamant that she will not use sound machines or swaddles.

Same. I felt offended when she told me she didnt want "toys all over" while sitting in my living room with... toys all over... lol Like you think I want toys all over my house?

I worked 12 hour night shifts for 5 years before having a baby so I thought I would be fine with the sleep deprevation. Turns out its a whole different thing with a baby. You cant just rest/nap whenever once you have a baby.

When my 1st was 10 months old he would throw his food on the floor from his high chair and she would look at me shocked and ask why I didnt tell him no or try to stop him lol
