*I am NOT a helicopter mom. Far from it. But this is just accumulated wisdom I heard from those kind of moms you should try to avoid like the plague. If you hear any of these below statements, RUN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have kids? Why not? You\u2019ll never know real love until you have a baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re trying to get pregnant? Yeah, not as much fun as it seems. Good luck to you! It will probably cost a fortune. It will be worth it, though. Just be as calm as possible about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It isn\u2019t like you\u2019re eighteen anymore, amiright? Tick tock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re going to the gym and getting healthy, right? I mean, you really should. Look at those hips! At least the baby\u2019s head will fit through. Don\u2019t exercise too much, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re pregnant? Well, sleep now is all I can tell you. This is your last chance to sleep for 18 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re tired? I couldn\u2019t sleep at all when I was pregnant. I felt like a beached whale. Forget the body pillows and the stretching; nothing will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you finish the nursery? What\u2019s your baby\u2019s gender? Well, at least the room has a theme, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re eating organic, right? Why are you buying carbs and frozen treats? You\u2019re acting like you don\u2019t care about your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you think you need a bouncy seat? Are you planning on putting the baby down? Babies like to be held. You can\u2019t spoil a baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You had your baby? Well, good luck to you. He\u2019s screaming a lot? Yes, that goes on for a long time. What, are you worried about him? That\u2019s what babies do. They scream and scream and scream. Turn on the television and you\u2019ll both be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doesn\u2019t motherhood give you perfect memory? You remember every lullaby your own mother ever sang to you, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you still recovering from the birth? Yeah, that takes forever. I ached and had weird pains for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you tired? Sleep when the baby sleeps. You should probably do laundry when the baby sleeps, too. And food shopping. And catch up on emails. Come on! Everyone wants to know when they can come and see the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need a shower, too? Oh, do that when the baby sleeps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re getting rid of your maternity clothes already? But it will be months before you can even think about wearing pants with buttons or zippers again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you at least check your walls, water, air, and insulation for lead? What about your plates? Your breast milk? You can\u2019t forget to check everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are those disposable diapers? Really? You made that choice? I see. I thought you cared about the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re using cloth diapers? I thought you needed more time for self-care? You have to take care of yourself, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re looking for a daycare spot? Pretty late in the game, I\u2019ll say. Good luck trying to find a place that\u2019s even legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did I find a daycare? I don\u2019t remember. This is your brain on motherhood! I can\u2019t even remember what I had for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You gave him solid foods already? You didn\u2019t hear about the kids who ate solid foods?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking? Oh, no! You\u2019re in for it now. You should have tried to travel, or at least go grocery shopping, before that happened. Good luck to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you baby-proof everything? Make sure you cover everything pointy and hard. Every edge and surface! Soon he\u2019ll be tall enough to reach even the top shelf of your bookcase. You should probably just put everything in storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is she smiling at me? Watch out. Get that rifle ready. Oh, right, it\u2019s a boy. You\u2019ve got a ladies\u2019 man on your hands. Watch out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, is the TV on? You didn\u2019t let your baby see the screen, did you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re excited about his birthday party? I see. You\u2019ll get tired of having them and going to them soon enough. Enjoy this one, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When are you going to have Baby #2? Don\u2019t you want someone to love Baby #1 after you die?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s starting daycare? Wow. He\u2019s going to be sick Every. Single. Day. You, too. But then no one will ever be sick again! You are responsible for training his immune system. I guess your mother didn\u2019t know to train yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re spending all of your money on private school, right? So expensive, but education is the most important thing. You\u2019d do anything for that child, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You didn\u2019t open a college fund to put all of your money into? I thought you agreed that education was important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You aren\u2019t sending him to public school? Don\u2019t you care about your community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You didn\u2019t sign up for summer camp yet? It is already January! What are you going to do, quit your job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, you went back to work? You want strangers to raise your child?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, you\u2019re home with him. I hope you\u2019re at least bringing him to reading time at the library. He needs to get socialized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
