I think that the best tip that I ever got was to make time for myself. I was so absorbed with being a first time mom that I forgot to take the time to see my friends, exercise or do anything else. By taking care of myself, I was happier, more relaxed and a better parent to my child.

i agree with cecily! i’m going to quote barbara coloroso (kids are worth it) who says “if it isn’t illegal, immoral or unhealthy – then let it go!” this is great advice! i also never got into the ‘clean up your room’ battle. i don’t have to live in it, so that’s one battle i don’t ever pick! i also love what dr phil says, that parents aren’t prepared for their kids not to like them occasionally (the mean mum thing) and this is where discipline falls down. it’s ok for your kids to not like you occasionally – this just means they didn’t their own way, and that’s ok!!! have fun wading thru all this advice lolli!

and one more via oprah – kids are just little people with less life experience. just coz their kids doesn’t mean they don’t deserve our respect.

My best parenting advice is to stop and smell the roses once in a while. We are so busy shipping our kids from here to there that we can miss a lot. I need to heed this advice often!

Listen to your baby. They know far more about what they need and want than any parenting book can tell you about them.

My mom’s advice when I first became a mother myself was “Choose your battles.” It’s good, sound advice that I try my best to heed.
