A friend of mine recently
asked if she was alone in her parenting philosophy or lack of one.
“Will you please blog about
your friend who lets her kids eat without washing their hands and doesn’t blink
to put a Walmart floor dirty paci back in his mouth? I feel so alone. I don’t even bathe my kids regularly. Bedtime routine? What’s that?
She went on to say “What’s up with people telling me where my
kid is in a store? I know where my kid
is asshole. Keep shopping”.
I venture to say girlfriend
you are NOT ALONE! Not only do I not
bathe my children every day, but I order them diet cokes at the drive thru . YES. I
said DIET cokes. And I dare say we are
frequent visitors to said drive thru. I’m ok with my 3 year old riding on the bottom of a shopping cart. That's why we have antibiotics, right? I’ve also been known to give my
children produce bags to play with while grocery shopping. I once had a lady ask me if I knew my 18
month old daughter was playing with the bag while sitting in the shopping
cart. “Who the #^$*@ do you think gave
it to her lady"?
Another FB friend recently
posted a picture of her daughter holding matches with the caption,
“It might be Friday night of
a long week when you tell your kids they can take turns striking a box of matches
if they get their room clean!”
So NO my dear friend. You are not alone! We gotta do what we gotta do to survive these little people. They are smarter than us, stronger than us, and almost always cuter than us.
The truth is our kids are just fine AND they are more than prepared for
killer germs and zombies. In fact we may
BE the reason for killer germs and zombies!
