“People are conditioned to believe that error is inevitable.... However, we do not accept the same standard when it comes to our personal life. If we did, we would resign ourselves to being shortchanged now and then when we cash our paychecks. We would expect hospital nurses to drop a certain percentage of all newborn babies. We would expect to go home to the wrong house periodically. As individuals we do not tolerate these things. Thus we have a double standard, one for ourselves, one for the company.” PeopleIfsBelieveHomeCertainHouseIndividualCompanyAcceptingBabyStandardsErrorsInevitableHospitalsNurseCashNow And ThenToleratePersonal LifePercentagesPaychecksNewbornDouble StandardNewborn Baby Author:Phil Crosby

“Unfortunately, I saw a side of humanity I wish I'd remained blissfully ignorant of, including one driver who threw a bottle at me while I was walking my baby to the doctor on the side of the road and yelled out insults. Nurses who made nasty comments about how I should get a job (I was working two of them, in addition to being a published author). It wasn't that I didn't have a job and wasn't working.

“I took her into bed with me and propped myself up with pillows against the headboard to let her nurse. As she nursed and the milk came, she began a little low contented sort of singing. I would feel milk and love flowing from me to her as once it had flowed to me. It emptied me. As the baby fed, I seemed slowly to grow empty of myself, as if in the presence of that long flow of love even grief could not stand.” IfsFeelsLittlesLongGrowsGriefBabyBedSingingLowsFlowEmptyAnd LoveFedsMilkNursePillow Book:Hannah Coulter: A Novel Source: Hannah Coulter: A Novel

“The best parenting advice I ever got was from a labor nurse who told me the following: 1. After your baby gets here, the dog will just be a dog. 2. The terrible twos last through age three. 3. Never ask your child an open-ended question, such as "Do you want to go to bed now?" You won't want to hear the answer, believe me. "Do you want me to carry you upstairs, or do you want to walk upstairs to go to bed?" That way, you get the outcome you want and they feel empowered.” WayWantFeelsBelieveChildrenAgeLastsThreeAsksParentAnswersWalksAdviceDogBabyTerribleBedLaborFollowingYour ChildrenOutcomesNurseWant MeBelieve In MeEmpoweredYou Want MeUpstairsDo You Want Me Author:Jodi Picoult
