Good parenting... I think
Can we all just agree that there are days when parenting sucks the ass of a rabid crocodile? Can we just agree?
I love my kids. I really do. But here’s the deal - they can suck so badly that you want to tell them to just fuck the fuck RIGHT off. Just fuck off kid. When they are throwing a tantrum for no earthly reason? FUCK OFF! When they won’t go to bed cause “I’m not tired!” FUCK OFF! When they get pissed because they can’t do/have/see something cause they are A CHILD? FUCK OFF! When they want to run the house but you won’t let them cause you’re trying really hard to keep them from being entitled little assholes? FUCK THE FUCK OFF.
Yup, that’s what you say. Every day. In your head.
Because if you’re a good parent, you don’t tell your children to fuck off. You may yell at them. You may lose your temper. But you don’t tell them to drop dead, fuck off, fuck off and die, or get the fuck out on the horse they came in on. You don’t.
And that’s called good parenting.
Best parenting advice I can give - you can scream “fuck off” in your head at the top of your mental voice, but what comes out of your mouth is “Mama loves you. Go to your room.”
