6/ Have your baby “announce” their own birth
Have you found an original way of making the announcements about the birth of your baby, soon to be crowned king in your home, with your ‘genius’ idea: “I’m Jonathon and I was born a little early, but I’m as healthy as could be. Mummy and Daddy are doing well.” We know who’s going to be ruling the roost in that house…
7/ Neglect your social life
You would be willing to die for your child. Not that we’re going to ask you to. But what could annoy your circle of friends, is that you don’t do anything any more. Cinema outings, romantic weekends away and birthday parties are all things of the past. You are prioritising your family, and of course you’re not wrong to do so. But don’t neglect your friends, or your own needs. You could end up on your own when your adolescent leaves the nest…
8/ Only talking about creches and teething problems
Have you nothing else in your head but your children, and no other topics of conversation? Where have all your other interests gone?
9/ Harrassing your friends about when they are going to have children
“And what about you guys, when is it going to be?” “You’d want to be getting down to it!” Such questions could well drive people nuts, especially if they are asked too insistently. What’s more, you have no idea of what traumas might hide behind even the most perfect looking couples. You never know, they may be having fertility problems. Be sensitive.
10/ Boasting shamelessly about how perfect your child is
If we were to believe everything you said, your child is the most perfect child in the world. Be careful you don’t give them a big head!
So have we managed to annoy you? Take it with a pinch of salt!
