First-Time Parents Are Sharing The Habits And Practices They Would NOT Repeat Again
It's not easy being a parent — especially if it's your first time. Recently, Redditor gonnoisseur asked, "What's something you did with your first kid that you will never do with your 2nd+?" Here's what people said. 1."I used to watch my son like a hawk, scared he'd get hurt. He's four now, and I've realized a couple of scrapes and bruises are just part of growing up. I'll remember this mindset if I have another." —Aggressive_Plant7983 2."Buying lots of clothes for my newborn. My second kid lived in bamboo zip-up pajamas until she was six months old (maybe even a little older). She had very few actual outfits because they were almost all unnecessary. I got my first child (my son) dressed daily. It was just silly and added more laundry than needed." —DensePhrase265 3."I won't let toxic family around. I excused the behavior of family members a lot with my first because I wanted him to have relationships with them. I've realized I'd rather he have fewer healthy people in his life than a bunch of toxic ones." —Aggressive_Plant7983 4."I kept a breastfeeding log of feedings detailing which breast I fed with, the starting time, and the finish time. It didn't make me anxious, but it was completely unnecessary, and the notebook looks like the journal of someone going mad." —TheSingingSea_ 5."Downloading that bloody Wonder Weeks app to keep track of baby's leaps. Never ever again! That thing made me so anxious." —lolrin 6."I'm going to try to be less anxious about messes. I didn't allow my first to feed herself, and I always wiped her down when she was even a little dirty because I have a sensory disorder, and it just bothers me. In retrospect, my behavior caused problems with my daughter, who did not want to touch dirt or eat messy things. Now she has to use a utensil to eat everything, which is stressing me out." —Think-Departure-5054 7."I won't use an app to track poops and feeds because it made my anxiety worse with my first. With my second overall, I know how rough postpartum is, and I'm going to take care of myself a whole lot better." —AffectionateGear4 8."Using pull-ups when potty training. Next time I'll just go straight to undies. It's way easier than pull-ups." —PrudentAd8123 9."With my first, I had a lot of expectations of how I was going to do things, but they all changed after my kid was born. I think with a second, I wouldn't force things, and I will just see how it goes with schedules, etc." —jennirator 10."I don't think I'll have another, but if I do, I will stop stressing about milestones. I still catch myself worrying from time to time, but now that she's almost four, it seems so silly to think about the little things I used to lose sleep over." —FattyMcButterpants__ 11."I'll take a less rigid approach to parenting and adopt a more go-with-the-flow attitude. My first took naps at home in a dark room with a sound machine on. My second kid slept wherever we were: The park, the library, the car, Disneyland. You name it, she probably napped there." —DensePhrase265 12."With parenting my second, I'm more mindful of what I say. For instance, instead of saying, 'Be careful,' I say, 'Do what feels safe.' My two kids are close in age (three and four years old), but they turned out to be wildly different children. " —Fragrant_Summer_7223 13."I won't make special food for them. My oldest had the pickiest phase, and it was all because we kept making his food separately from ours, and we only served him what he liked. We were going crazy until one day we said screw it and started giving him exactly what we ate (with some modifications). Now he eats pretty much everything. There are no more kids menus at restaurants or carrying food from home. People are always so surprised at how well he eats. So I'm definitely not making the same mistake with my second!" —CricketInevitable581 14."With the first, I stuck to a strict sleep schedule, obsessing over wake windows. I wouldn't leave any room for negotiation. I spent hours rocking, stressing, and feeling frustrated, wasting my life in my bedroom. Despite all of these efforts, my daughter was a very bad sleeper. My second is a unicorn baby and sleeps for 12 hours at night, and she decides when she wants to nap or sleep. I leave it up to her to decide and learn to listen to her body." —Spare_Tutor_8057 15."I'll encourage self-play from a young age. With our first, we thought we were being great parents by always playing with our baby constantly. We were always setting up games and activities. Now our eldest isn't great at entertaining herself. For the second time around, we let self-play develop and encouraged it. Now our youngest plays with her dolls by herself for what feels like ages, and she makes up her own games and entertainment. This is such an important skill we totally overlooked while we were thinking we were being fantastic new parents." —Fredmarklar 16."Co-sleeping or lying with my kid to sleep. I did this with my first and would not do it again. Give in once and you'll never get out of the cycle." —Wam_2020 17."I won't be too hard on myself trying to breastfeed. When I finally switched to exclusively formula feeding at six months, I became so much happier." —instant_karma__ 18."My first kid went to SO many lessons and paid activities as a toddler. This is such a waste of money before kids are at least preschool age. In particular, I'm so embarrassed I spent money on baby swim lessons." —Julienbabylegs 19."I'd cut off contact naps sooner. I loved them, but I overdid it, and it severely limited my life and body." —burningtulip 20."I refused to give my first store-bought food like fruit purees and things like that. With my second, I was like, 'Here you go, have this store-bought strawberry and tomato smoothie.' I still make all her meals from scratch, but for snacks, I don't mind store-bought anymore." —MyLifeForAiurDT Do you have one to add?

In a organized by a family member, the child was identified as 1-year-old Jenelle Gonsalez. 'She was our sunshine, full of love, laughter, and innocence.

Walt Disney World Finally Gets a Nighttime Parade This Summer
Also at Disney World, spooky season starts early: there's a new Disney Villains show, and tickets to Magic Kingdom's Halloween party are on sale now. With summer vacations on the horizon, Disney Experiences are popping off at their bi-coastal theme parks, Disney Cruises, and international destinations. Walt Disney World is getting a nighttime parade featuring new Pixar and Disney Animation Studios favorites, while Mickey Mouse and the Fab Five get dapper outfits to shine along with Starlight. Spooky fun is already beginning with the Disney Villains getting their own show at WDW's Hollywood Studios and Halloween party tickets going on sale. Over at Disneyland, the 70th anniversary party is in full swing with fun festive foods and more. At Disneyland Paris, the theme park dances the summer away with a new music festival. And Disney Cruises prepares to set sail with the fleet's newest ship in this week's theme park news. Walt Disney World – Starlight This summer brings an all-new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, which will debut July 20, 2025. The Magic Kingdom Park exclusive will bring back nighttime parades to the Walt Disney World resort and will feature classic and new Disney and Pixar fandom faves along the parade route on Main Street. The sparkling floats will light up the night and of course we're excited to see the updates to Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Daisy's costumes for the summer premiere. Walt Disney World – Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After There has been a need for more indoor shows as Walt Disney World's humid summer gets underway, so why not some chilling tales from the Disney Villains to beat the heat? We're excited to check out Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After for a fun musical romp through villain showstoppers and more. Walt Disney World – Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Haunted Mansion's Butler Broom extends the invitation for what's sure to be a swinging wake. New this year will be a Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse spooky meet and greet at the Town Square Theater. For those of us with little tots, the Storybook Circus will get a 'happy haunt' transformation to help the smallest of Disney fans ease into the spirit of the season—since it is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween after all. Along with popular returning faves, the event will run August 15 to October 31. Tickets here. Disney Imagineering tour of Epcot's Moana: Journey of Water Delight in one of our favorite walkthrough attractions at Walt Disney World to keep summer visitors cool with Imagineering's fun-fact filled behind the scenes look at Moana: Journey of Water. Disneyland 70th Food This summer, aside from watching all the nighttime shows and scavenger hunting with the key to Disneyland, we'll be eating our way through the parks. Our current fave dish is the 70th celebration Mickey Waffles at Schmoozies which are like confetti cake in flavor and have a creamy strawberry center that's not to be missed. Disneyland France – Disney Music Festival Disneyland Paris makes a debut as a music festival destination from now until September 7 with the Disney Music Festival. The event will combine all genres of music with experiences inspired by Pixar and Disney Animation favorites, with hubs dedicated to various genres of music. That includes a mariachi band with Coco's Miguel in Frontierland, jazz with Mary Poppins in Town Square, rock n' roll with Elvis Stitch in Discoveryland, and more characters getting in on the fun. I want to know to know the story of DJ Chip and Dale, who just by the looks of their outfits look like they mean house music business. Disney Cruise – The Disney Destiny The comic book action and fairytale magic of Disney, Pixar, and Marvel heroes and villains will soon take over the Disney Destiny, the newest ship set to embark on ocean adventures in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. The Destiny will begin its trips later this year on November 20 with 4-5 night cruises taking off from the port of Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean. We're excited for the ship's epic looking Hercules show and the gorgon battle teased in the image above.

The celebration is hittingTokyo DisneySea for seaside fun this year with special food, entertainment and merch. I hope we get some stateside soon!

Isolated afternoon showers for some, but warming temperatures for all of Utah
SALT LAKE CITY () — Happy Thursday, Utah! Our Thursday afternoon will feature plenty of sunshine with just a few spotty showers, primarily in the mountains. Highs will warm into the upper 80s to near 90° for the Wasatch Front, with highs in the upper 90s for SW Utah. A stronger ridge of high pressure will build across the Beehive state Friday, bringing a drier airmass and even warmer weather. This weekend, high temperatures will be in the 90s for the first time this season, with highs in the triple digits for the first time for SW Utah. Some of our temperatures will approach record highs by Saturday and Sunday. We look to remain mainly dry and warm until the beginning of next week. A more potent storm system may be able to break down the ridge with a trough early next week. This would mean cooler and more unsettled conditions. Stay tuned, we'll keep you 4Warned on-air and online! Meet the new faces at Utah's Hogle Zoo! Disneyland's 70th Anniversary food drop is amazing! Drywall damage?
