Sick Parenting

Ok, I am recovering from a stomach massacre, and I will be back tomorrow.

Until then, I thought I’d pop in to answer a really quick question from a reader…

But Brittany, HOW DO YOU PARENT CHILDREN IF YOU ARE BENT OVER A TOILET PUKING YOUR FACE OFF?

Good question.

Let me share with you my super effective, montessori-inspired, absent due to sickness, child rearing curriculum.

First, I make them toast with nutella on it. Because toast feels fun and nutella feels like the hug I can’t give them because I’m covered in my own rancid vomit.

Then I look to the internet, or new media, as the hipsters call it, to keep things educational.

(Everything’s a teaching moment in my house.)

They get some physical activity with this…

A little life skills…

And then an animal video.  Because kids fucking love animal videos. I don’t get it either.

And there you have it.  Sick parenting.
