Things they never tell you at baby school

So I've decided there are a whole lot of things that people never tell parents-to-be before they join the parent club. Some are obvious. Others aren't. Either way, below is subset of things I've observed that no one told me.

1. 7:45 PM is an acceptable bed time. The thought goes something like, "If I go to bed now, I might actually get 8 or 9 hours of sleep."
2. TiVo is a must. I mean a must (actually, my coworkers tried to tell me how great TiVo was, but I was too cheap to listen. Once I had Emmaline, I was all ears).
3. Building on #1 & #2, if a live sporting event goes past the above bedtime, simply TiVo it and watch it the next morning at 5:30 AM, you'll be up.
4. Kids don't watch as much Sesame Street as they used to. When I was a kid, that's what I watched, although that's all there was at the time. Kids just don't watch Sesame Street nearly as much. For example, I've yet to find anyone that knows about Murray & his Sheep. Which is an excellent bit. Further, the amount of cameos on that show is really amazing.
   
5. A lot of kid shows are trippy. Sesame Street is certainly not excluded. They have all these weird little short segments of stop motion photography. Then there is Yo Gabba Gabba. That crap is trippy with a capital T (this fact is also covered here).
6. As a parent you get peed on and barfed on a lot. Just accept it. Emmaline is almost 14 months old, and I bet we average 3 times a week for these unexpected events.
7. There are a lot of baths, a lot of times more than once a day. Whether the little one is dirty or not, it passes time, and they are humored, a perfect combination.
   

I'm sure this list will expand, but these are my observations at 14 months.
