Mom Lists 27 Things She Wishes She Knew Before Having Kids, And Parents Are Applauding Her
If there’s anything we can be sure of about parenting, it’s that it has quite the learning curve. It seems you’re reading all the books, attending all the classes, then your child comes into this world and you still have more questions than answers.
To give first-time moms and dads a better understanding of the everyday problems that are about to happen, Casey Huff has just shared all the things she wished she knew before becoming a mom. From googling your kid’s “symptoms” to feeling guilty after an inevitable mistake, parents from all over the internet really applauded Casey’s parenting tips talking about the realities of raising kids.
“Motherhood has given me a purpose I didn’t know I had,” Casey told Bored Panda. “There’s something really humbling about having little kids who depend on you for everything, and it’s really put into perspective the things that really matter in life.

As you might’ve understood from Casey’s parenting hacks post, there are moments when things simply don’t go the way you’d want them to. That’s OK. “If you’re at a low point and can’t physically take a break from raising your kids, find other ways to take a step back,” the mom advised. “Cancel a few activities you have planned. Have your kids take more independent time (even if it means turning on the TV for a bit longer than usual) for themselves so that you can find a few minutes of quiet for yourself. Wake up thirty minutes earlier to get a slower start to the day. Any way you can think of to find a few extra minutes of calm and quiet… Do it. It’s good for your mind, heart, and soul, and in return, it’s good for your kids!”
“We’re all in this together,” she added. “We all parent a little differently (which is okay), but we all need to step up and support one another. Being a mom is hard, but knowing someone has our back makes all the difference.”
Casey’s words really resonated with a lot of people

I am a father of two and I agree... But you will never find any photo of me, my wife or our children on social media

Wow, I thought I was the only person who doesn't put pictures of my child on social media! I always feel like an outcast when I ask people not to put pictures of my child on the internet.

I agree with all statements, except no. 7. This statement is only true within certain limits. Sometimes it’s not enough for parents to have the best intentions. There are some rare cases where parents refused medical treatment of their children because of religious or any other believes, resulting in the death of children. There was at least one case in the US where a little child died because of the raw vegan diet the parents imposed on that child.

Why can't I double upvote this comment. The irony is that it's advice given on social media about taking advice from social media.
