Things you said you would never do before you were a parent

by Jodifur on November 26, 2006

My husband and I swore our child would not watch a ton of TV. And he doesn't, about an hour a day. We also swore we would never get an in-car DVD player. Why do they need it? They can entertain themselves.
Michael hates the car. He screams, he cries, we stop every hour, it takes us forever to get anywhere. On the way to the beach this weekend we hit horrible traffic. A two and a half hour ride took four. I was surfing online today and saw circuit city had a car dvd player for $99. At 9 pm we drove 30 minutes to the nearest circuit city so we could have it for the ride home.
It won't be long until he is allowed to have a tv in his room, something else I said I would never do.

My son is seventeen months old, and we have resorted to the DVD-in-the-car. We often have to take 4-5 hour car trips, and I think it saved EVERYONE’S sanity.
