Obby does some bad ass parenting. My kids love summer dresses but in the winter I insist on a warm base layer. That seems to have inspired some redundant layering techniques. I don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to fashion ability, so I just let it roll. As long as it’s weather appropriate and won’t get in the way on the playground, go for it!
Parents can get whiplash from some of these kid questions.
Sometimes you don’t hear what you’ve said out of context.
Why no, I’m a mom, I’m physically incapable of relaxing. I must micro manage holidays so no one can have any fun. That’s my job.
I have SO many peoples random phone numbers from playgrounds. I will text once saying we’re on our way to that same playground again and then never see them again.
And it all seems perfectly normal at the time.
It’s harder than I thought to not be a hypocrite as a parent.
Walking that line between listening to a reasonable request and developing rational judgement. Also, outright ignoring authority.
So far, kids seem to go in and out of fussiness.
