There's only a couple up there that do work for me, but that's ok! I'm sure I have some "What doesn't work for me" things that may work great for you. Now, lets see... What doesn't work for me? I'd have to say pacifiers (my daughter HATED them from day 1) fast food, soda pop, lip liner (just can't do it...), clothes that I wore just 5 years ago (yeah, ok - how'd I even fit in to some of those clothes!), and rap music (Yeesh!)

They really work for me. The TV is my big pet peeve. I can go for weeks without turning it on, and when I do I usually end up reading instead. Hate milk too- couldn't pay me to drink it!

I used to be a HUGE milk drinker, but after spending 3+ years dairy free for my allergic nursling I can't stand the thought of drinking straight milk. Other dairy products, sure! My husbands cousins gave our first daughter a halter top & mini-skirt in size 0-3 months!!! We exchanged those so fast! 1-7 I’m with you all the way. 8-10, eh, not really on my radar.

I would have to agree with about all of them. Hate the TV on most of the time. Love covers, all year around and I live in Phoenix where it is hot alot. Still don't understand why parents let babies cry it out. There is so many other ways to teach your baby to sleep. I like "Baby Whisperer". Hate white milk also. If I drink it I put chocolate and strawberry syrup in the milk. This helps alot and I also get my chocolate fix!! Stephanie, Great post. I would have to agree with about all of them.

I mean, come on, we are already in an oversexed society, why do we feel the need to push it onto our kids earlier and earlier.

I even made a little sheet for my daughter last summer in case she feels the same way. I absolutely must have something covering me when I sleep!
