Baby”ing” Toddlers

Reasons mom’s aren’t allowed to get sick for even just a day… Because after cleaning up messes about 3 times DADS give up and say F it….. so mom has to clean it the next morning… He did try to keep up (and he DOES help A LOT!) #JUSTAJOKE

I posted this on my personal wall and don’t you know I got told how awful I am as a parent (in a nice way, the “she has too many toys ((they were all donated to us or hand me downs))”, “this is bringing out my anxiety”, etc…) I get it was a mess but I had a horrible acid reflux/ulcer reaction yesterday and honestly didn’t even notice it until this morning I was in such pain. I Had it picked up in under 10mins and it was fine. Why are toddlers not allowed to make messes anymore, how do they learn anything?!
***No offense to my “OCD” moms because you guys are serious Rockstars, I wish I could keep my house that clean!

What is wrong with the world today. Kids have to be clean AT ALL TIMES. They have to know how to walk, talk, know their ABCs, be potty trained All before they go to preschool. If your kid is 2 and is still on the bottle, you’re considered a terrible parent. (Which, p.s. my 2yr old still takes a bottle at nap and night time🤷‍♀️)

Fuck that shit. My teenager is an honor roll student with a wicked attitude. I hope she stays that strong throughout her life and gives that strength to her little sister. She got dirty, she was always a beautiful mess, and learned about the world and learned lessons on her own. With me there to guide her. Just like I am doing with my toddler. Being clean and perfect all the time will Most Definitely get you a young adult whose defiant and does things to spite you.

So, let them drink the soda once in awhile, eat chocolate, play in the dirt, color sidewalk chalk EVERYWHERE. It all washes away and you counter the unhealthy with healthy, it evens itself out and your child will learn moderation.

But what do I know. I’ve just been a mom for over 13years…🤷‍♀️
