Comments on: Tackle it Tuesday – Teeny tiny http://whittereronautism.com/2008/09/tackle-it-tuesday-teeny-tiny/ Coffee breaks in Cyberspace For when you want something short and sweet, but light on saccharin [translation = Aspartame] Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:56:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Whitterer on Autism » Blog Archive » Thursday 13 - things I should have avoided whilst pregnant http://whittereronautism.com/2008/09/tackle-it-tuesday-teeny-tiny/comment-page-1/#comment-20623 Whitterer on Autism » Blog Archive » Thursday 13 - things I should have avoided whilst pregnant Thu, 25 Sep 2008 06:58:48 +0000 http://whittereronautism.com/?p=854#comment-20623 [...] There’s many a parent raked by guilt with sleepless nights full of ‘what ifs’ and ‘if onlys.’ Here are a few of those thoughts. 1. I should have rigged up the microwave with crime scene tape. 2. I should never have knitted that baby blanket. I’m sure I poked something crucial. 3. Hair dye and vanity, that’s all I’m going to say on the subject. 4. I knew that cell phone was a mistake. Surely I fried every functioning brain cell too. 5. Orders to ‘rest’ should be accompanied with a free pass to a baby sitter. 6. They did warn me about Caesar Salad but I couldn’t resist the craving for anchovies. 7. I should never have drunk the water and breathed the air in Silicon Valley. 8. I blame the blue cheese myself although I swear it was only a crumb or two. 9. I should have made him swear that the fruit punch only contained fruit and no hidden punches. Can you trust anyone these days? 10. I blame the YMCA. It was a mistake to take that Aerobics instructor course. 11. I should have had those metal filling ripped out pre-pregnancy but hindsight is always 20-20. I wonder why it wasn’t covered by my medical insurance? 12. Alternatively I could blame the hospital. How stupid to give a warning about carrying heavy objects! What newly born object doesn’t want to be carried! 13. Yes, regrets, I have more than a few. If I had my time over, I would do things differently. For my baby shower gift I’d have fessed up and asked for a “laminater.” [...] [...] There’s many a parent raked by guilt with sleepless nights full of ‘what ifs’ and ‘if onlys.’ Here are a few of those thoughts. 1.

I seriously need to look at helping (pushing) my son to be more independent. It is so easy to keep seeing him as such a little guy when he is growing up. :) Love the #17 at the end!

I must admit, the children and I have no problems finding any item in the house - and we just moved [again]. My husband's brain does not work properly, as he can neither follow NT logic for where to find the garlic press nor, apparently, Autie logic ("DAD, it in the utensil drawer! That the EVERYTHING drawer - it have scissors and tape. You not follow instructions, Dad.") But this demonstrates truly amazing organization. I can't aspire to that!
