You start buying butter, cream, and cheese at Costco, and use it all before it expires!
When your kids are grown and now you have to figure out how to eat healthy because your cholesterol is through the roof from eating the same stuff as your kids for 20 years. Seriously, this is my parents! And throw in a quad bypass for dad.
When you kid is sick you bundle them up and actually send them outside to run around in the snow so they work up some of the mucus.
You spend a fortune on an air purifier and then have to look at your shabby couch for another 5 years.
There is a bottle of enzymes at grandma's house.
You say "Finish all of your dinner so you can get enough calories!" Instead of "There are starving children in China who would love to have that food!"
If you have more than 1 CF kid you tell them to have an eating competition and the one who has to take the most enzymes wins.
Ok, I'm not a CF parent but I remember this stuff from when I was a kid.

I will add when you go out in public to eat, you almost dutiful hand enzymes to everyone at the table, while they stare at you like you have lost it...
When you encourage your kid to spit in public...
When you see your kids hands shrivel up like prunes within two minutes of being in the water pool.
When you have a box of tissues, in your car, in your purse, in every room of the house... and even your friends have supplies at their house...

You know all the parking attendants at the hospital by name.
You've called poison control to see if Pancreatic Enzymes are poisonous for dogs.
You dance around the house doing "poundies" while singing the song entitled, "beat the baby, beat the baby!"
Even your neighbors know more about CF than most doctors.
No one can blame you for having bacon and icecream in the freezer.
When other moms complain about their kids hating to take their medicine, you feel like saying, "that sugary syrup? Try Ferrous Sulfate or Zinc!"
When you show up at the pharmacy to pick up your birth control pills, the pharmacist yells from behind the counter, "How's that laxative working." And he is the only one at Rite Aid who knows its regarding the baby.
You put avocado or peanut butter on everything.
And finally, you know you're a mom of a baby with CF when at the end of the day you can honestly say, "I enjoyed every moment!"
