Unreasonable expectations. They are something that in my life, my relationships and my career that I try never to set. I find that as a n00b parent, however, I seem to be taking them on in whole big bunches. But I refuse to take 100% responsibility for my neurosis as I come across more and more literature from doctors, psychologists, multi-children parents..(ya know. The so called "experts.") that help to further my self-doubt.
As anyone who's read "What To Expect When You're Expecting" knows, you should take care of yourself while breastfeeding by eating healthy and exercising. Makes rational sense. And the authors further clarify their statements around nutrition in allowing that once in a while, it's okay to eat something you really shouldn't. That's just good sense as well. After all you don't want to get into a cycle of denial as you'll just never be happy. But do you know what their definition of 'eating healthy' is? Or what is an example of a food that you really shouldn't eat? "And once in a while, treat yourself to something you really shouldn't have, like a bagel."
A BAGEL??!??
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! &*^% YOU!
I think what they meant was a bacon, egg and cheese double-decker breakfast bagel sandwich... Yes, I'm sure they did.
