You’re in for such a treat. Luckily I filmed the first bite of puréed chicken from my first. She looked like she was being electrocuted lol. She refused to eat it for months. Kids. Have. Taste. Preferences.

The only thing about parenting I’ve learned is that every expectation you have will never happen. Good luck!

Ah yes. The Child-Rearing Opinions of First Time Expectant Parents. We’ve all had them. Good luck buddy. See you on the other side.

Sorry but as a father of 3 I will save you a ton of time and effort. You will fail this test.

Why have no other parents tried this?! It’s all the rage with people who aren’t parents yet https://t.co/33NjQmTZfJ

people that post about how perfect they are as parents before their kid is even born are tempting the child temperament gods, who are well known amongst the initiated for their love of humbling the boastful. https://t.co/0pMNQaJ5sl

This is ALWAYS the best laugh of the week.
Im not laughing at you, sir. It’s the universal laugh of parents who were the wisest, most conscientious and principled parents EVER. Until the delivery date. https://t.co/5W2YibJIyB

4 months ago, my wife and I felt like we beat parenting. Our daughter would eat anything.
✅Vegetables
✅Indian food
✅All manners of meatYesterday I was begging her to eat Moana Mac and Cheese and even that wouldn’t work.
I wish this gentleman all the luck.
