How to be a perfect parent

in #parenting7 years ago

We all want to be praised for our good work. Instead, what often happens is that we get nothing but criticism. That's right, daycare won't comment on the 200 day long streak of picture perfect outfits, she'll comment the one day your kid shows up without an undershirt on. Your MIL won't praise your cooking, like, ever, but she remembers that one time you made that one thing and she'll bring it up. Every. Time.

So how can you become a perfect parent in such a harsh environment? I have found the answer.

Step 1: Scream "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

Step 2: Cry.

Step 3: Leave. Rent a hostel and drink a bottle of wine.

Step 4: Opon being found say, "I'M A TERRIBLE MOTHER!"

Step 5: Profit!

Seriously, everybody will come out of the woodwork to tell you how great you are at what you do. Mental breakdowns are the first step to achieving your dreams!
