The following post is dedicated to all the parents who have ever felt guilty about a parenting decision that other parents may have judged or frowned upon. For all of us who have been in that position, deep down you knew that decision was the right one and completely necessary in conquering the quest to ‘just get things done without anyone losing a limb or sanity‘ but it’s still difficult feeling the eyes of Judgy McJudgerson on your neck.
Maybe you said ‘yes‘ to the relentless 7 year old who would not get dressed unless she could play one more round of Angry Birds and you just wanted to get ready for work without yelling at anyone before noon. Blackmail, shmakmail.
Or maybe you allowed the begging 4 year old to wear that Batman costume for one more day — despite the fear of a call from the public health department — all in the name of ‘getting out the door‘ because fabric is fabric and it all achieves body part coverage. That’s the important thing, right? Whatever it takes to get everyone on with their day.
Or maybe you let little Logan eat breakfast along side his beloved pet at the dining table because he promised to finish all his cereal and bananas without any whining…
OH MY HOLY GOOD GRAVY what the heck is that reptile-slash-horror-movie-prop creature and am I safe in assuming that it prefers KiX over Kids?!?! Someone say ‘yes‘ and confirm we are not watching whatever that is have it’s pre-breakfast bowl of cereal of KiX before having a bowl of KID.
Whatever it takes folks, whatever it takes.
