What's a parenting rule you should break and why?

Jenine Sandnes

Every. Single. One. Being a mom means being able to fly by the seat of your pants and adapt to any situation at ANY time. Parenting "rules" are in place as a guide. There is always a situation to break every one of them. I hate it when my friends guilt themselves for letting their kids stay in their pajamas all day, eat pizza for breakfast, or indulge their pleas for a toy even when their behavior has been less than perfect. Being a parent also means showing our kids that rules can be broken and life is meant to be enjoyed! Doing what makes them/you happy is a part of living and loving life. Teaching them happiness is more important than most lessons those parenting rules are meant to teach anyway.
