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.
you’re a rockstar… even when you’re puking :)
When I’m sick, I leave the parenting to the wife.
Ironically, when I’m not sick, I leave the parenting to the wife.
Lmao!
Huh. I thought sick parenting involved way more benadryl and less entertainment. Good to know.
Oh my goodness. I had never even heard of the Dougie and now I know and know how to do it well.
