@namwilamulwanda: Some unpopular parenting opinions I stand by that might be a bit controversial 👀 1. my kids see me cry. I won’t hide how I feel to protect them from the idea that mothers are superhuman. 2. Because I said so” isn’t a reason (looking at my parents here lol). If I can’t explain a rule to my kid, I probably need to rethink it rather than just enforce it harder. 3. I don’t smack my kids. I don’t want them to learn that hitting is how to handle emotions. 4. I feed my babies anywhere. If they’re hungry, you can bet I’ll get my boob out without apology. 5. I apologize to my kids (because parents make mistakes too). 6. Boredom isn’t an emergency. I don’t see it as my job to entertain them 24/7 because boredom is a part of life. 7. I don’t force affection. It’s their body, their choice—especially with family. With that said, I’m not a perfect parent; I’m still figuring it all out and if any of this resonates with you, welcome to the club! Are there any you’d add?👀 #gentleparenting #unpopularopinion #parenting #mumlife
