Some very close friends of ours are adopting a baby and we�re going to a baby shower to celebrate. The hosts have asked everyone to come prepared to share parenting tips. Our idea was to give a list of things to say good bye to, and things to say hello to, like this:
Say goodbye to boutiques, say hello to Costco
Say goodbye to morning news, traffic and weather, say hello to Barney
Say goodbye to over-time, say hello to story-time.
Can anyone who has small kids, or who remembers having small kids, come up with any? |

Say goodbye to "Annette and David". Say hello to "Laura's mother and father"
Say goodbye to lie ins. Say hello to sleepless nights.
Say goodbye to feng shui. Say hello to childproofed.
Say goodbye to white. Say hello to "patterned" |

I prefer to shower using water as I find babies easily block the shower head. |

Goodbye to thinking you're tired, hello to knowing you're exhausted.
Goodbye to Manolos, hello to Matalan.
Goodbye to being complacent about a smile, hello to each one making your day.
Goodbye to worrying whether you're loved well enough, hello to seeing that you are in a child's eyes. |

Goodbye to exotic or spicy foods, hello to finger foods
Goodbye to clean glass surfaces, hello to finger prints
Goodbye to long meaningful conversations, hello to "don't stick that in there. . . now what was I saying?"
Goobye to lush green houseplants, hello to, "well, how about that, juice didn't kill the plant!"
Goodbye to travelling light, hello to becoming a pack mule!
(Great idea for a shower gift, by the way! ) |

Goodbye to chocolate, kids have a built in radar that homes in on chocolate hidden any where!
Goodbye to travel except for school functions, sporting events, doctors, dentists, orthodontists and the list goes on.
Goodbye to a peaceful night of sleep with only two in a bed. (Who said threes a crowd?)
Goodbye to waking up to enough milk for your morning coffee, it seems to disappear over night or early hours of the morning.
Goodbye to not finding empty plates and bowls in your fridge! |

Thanks for the help everyone. I used a bunch from above, and thought of a few more:
Say goodbye to disposable income;
Say hello to disposable diapers.
Say goodbye to clean, uncluttered living;
Say hello to safety gates, bouncy seats, pack-n-plays, big plastic toys, strollers, huge plastic toys, high chairs, and giant plastic toys.
It was a big hit. Lots of laughs, and resounding applause at the end. (I�m sure the open bar didn�t hurt.)

That was one thing I've always hated, and told everyone not to do around my kids. A train is a train and not a "choo choo", a dog is a dog and not a "bow wow". Talk properly to them or not at all. |
