You've reached this page because you're still trying to justify your questionable parenting choices. Let's be real, we're all winging it over here.
As a parent, your primary job is to provide for your child's needs, but also to provide for your own ego. And what better way to do that than by justifying the ends to the means?
Here's a simple guide to help you do just that:
Step 1: Blame Your Partner
They're probably the one who messed up, right? It's not your fault! (Just don't tell them we said that.)
Or, if you're single...
Step 2: Blame the Kids
It's not your fault, they're just wired that way! (Or is it?)
Or, if you're a single parent...
Step 3: Blame the System
We're all just pawns in a larger game of societal expectations, aren't we?
But don't worry, we have some further guidance on this topic.
