Congratulations, you now own a creature that spits vile goo from both ends of it's body and screams at random intervals. Accept this.
The biggest pet peeve of mine is stressed out parents who freak out over everything. They are usually the same parents that believe you'll enjoy each moment with your child, even if you are underfed, tired, and haven't showered in a couple days.
I understand genuine child emergencies, hospital visits, and things. Freaking out then is ok, as long as it doesn't make you useless to your kid.
I'm talking more about the parents who run every time their child squalks, squeaks, fusses, or cries. I'm not advocating ignoring your baby when it's hungry, thirsty, tired, or needs attention. It's just not an emergency.
Turn off the inner panic button in you that goes off each time your child cries. Walk to your child instead of running, and remember that nothing scares a child like a scared parent.
Don't panic and always know where your towel is.
