When it comes to some of the “mistakes” every parent makes, Steven John at Insider says there are 30 extremely common ones that no mom or dad will be able to avoid. (And that’s okay!) These include letting our kids fall or get hurt, packing our children’s schedules too full, giving our little ones too many choices to make, forgetting important items when going to school or soccer practice, praising them too much, and trying to talk above them. “Kids catch onto more than you think, despite the diction enabled by your sagacity, and can end up hearing things little ears shouldn't,” John writes.
No matter how many “mistakes” we make with our little ones, we shouldn’t beat ourselves up. As long as they know that they’re safe, loved, taken care of and able to express themselves, you’re doing an amazing job. And if you need to vent or share some hilarious stories online, feel free to hop onto Twitter. You’ll quickly realize that you’re not alone, and you’re a great parent. Plus, we’d love to have a laugh at your experiences and feature them in next month’s edition of this list!
If you’re an exhausted parent who can’t wait for your children to be back in school full time in a few weeks, you don’t need to feel bad about that. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and you’ll finally be able to keep your kitchen clean for more than three hours when your kids aren’t eating three meals a day plus snacks in there. Keep upvoting the tweets that hit home for you or make you chuckle, and let us know in the comments if you’ve recently had any hilarious parenting experiences.
