Not Like Mommy
What are some of your baby habits you hope your children don't pick up?
1) I put myself down a lot and when I have children I will do my best to reassure them how beautiful they truly are and stop putting myself down
2) I don't want them to feel like I picked a bad guy to have kids with because I feel that way about my mom and I want my daughters to know what to look for in a good man. And I want my sons to be taught how to be a good man.
3)I bite my nails lol hopefully they won't do that ?
It's not really a bad habit, but I hope my children never have to suffer with mental illness. I was diagnosed with severe depression and bi polar disorder when I was 14, I'm 25 now and even though I'm better equipped to cope with it some days it's still a struggle. Even with medication there are days where I can't even get out of bed. If they do struggle with mental illness though I'll support them and encourage them because I know how hard it is.
I cuss ? I try not to but then I stub my toe and sometimes the flood gates open and I should come with one of those beep censors built in. ?
Also I eat ice. A lot. Like I can eat a ten pound bag in a couple days. I can't imagine that's good for my teeth.
And I am absolutely terrified and I mean terrified of dentists. A couple bad experiences has me scarred. I want my kids to have a more consistent dental care practice than I ever did/have.
I have an obsession with popping pimples,picking scars and peeling sunburned skin and also I pick/peel my lips...i am an extremely picky indecisive eater?
But I'm going to turn this around to things about my husband. Not so much habits but health wise and all I pray our dd does not end up having my husbands awful sinus's. He gets awful sinus head aches to the point he is in so much pain. He gets this from his mother she also has bad sinus's. Also my husband has sleep apnea and I pray she doesn't get that either.
For me I hope she doesn't get my teeth genes. I was terribly blessed with my dads genes and he had all his teeth pulled and got full dentures at the age of 22 I believe. I am very close to that. My bottom teeth in the front are fake. The only teeth that haven't been touched or worked on are my top two front. My SIL parents were very kind to take me under their dental and have spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars and am at a breaking point and read to just get them all pulled. Where as my mother never had a cavity in her life. It stinks. I pray she doesn't have my teeth genes because if so I have no idea where we would come up with that kind of money!
I used bite my nails and pick at my legs all time and it would not be horrible but not attractive either when I was younger my SO used to pull my hands away or smack them lmao. I can't believe I even remember this from 12/13yrs ago. My nails are long /natural and healthy now. I couldn't image biting them off lol. I even get compliments all time on them. Most think there fake until I say nope there all mine. Everything on me is what God gave me
Nail biting, picking at my lips, OCD. My husband has a few traits I hope she doesn't pick up like pestering the pee out of me to the point where I have to get mean then he gets mad bc I was mean. But if he'd have stopped when I asked like there 15th time then he wouldn't have gotten yelled at.
I forget where i put things all the time... I really hope they don't pick up on that because then i'll have to help them and... I'm just terrible. The misplace things all the time but they are still toddlers so thats their excuse ;)
I'm a terrible skin picker aswell. I just feel the "need" when i get anxious.
On a more serious note i hope they don't get bipolar disorder like me (and my dad...this nasty thing seems to run in families). I wouldnt say its hell, because if they happen to "get" it i would support them but... Yeah, otherwise i would say its pretty much like hell.
Thumb sucking!
I had a paci until 5 because I threw unworldly fits when my mother would take one away. She finally took it and I switched to thumb sucking. All day, all night. By 8th grade I was only sucking to fall asleep at night or when I was really upset. By 10th grade I was only sucking when upset (so rarely). Now I'm 22 and I still have the strange urge sometimes.
So... No paci for lo when he gets here! Hell no! I have an over bite and my thumb fits perfectly between my teeth.
Please don't use this against me later. I swear I'm clean now! ???

I peel dead skin on my lips. It comes off in huge flakes. I never used to do this until being pregnant, then my lips were always dry and I couldn't stand the feeling. And I hate lip balm, I can't keep it on for longer than a minute without wanting to wipe it off. ?
