Parenting isn't an easy and breezy job, it's mostly about making tough decisions and difficult choices.



And knowing this, most parents firmly believe that their way is the "right" way, and anyone who falls outside of those bounds is a hot ass mess.

I am not a firm believer in the right of every parent to get through the trenches in the best ways they know how, so it would be best to know some parenting 101 tips, so that rather than hiding your so-called parenting flaws, you can work on them.

Here are all the ways society would definitely say you are totally screwing your kid's up for life.

1) You rely too much on screen time.


For some reason completely unknown, most kids keep their attention glued to a mobile phone, video game, or TV for hours -- you as a parents should not let this be so.

As shameful as it is to admit, You rely on their love of video games to keep them occupied when you need to get work done, cook dinner, or even have an adult conversation without a wily 2-year-old butting in every 3 seconds.

Unfortunately, your "lazy" little parenting hack is generally not recommended by the experts and could end up with him resenting you for not spending every waking hour of his childhood interacting with him.

2) Your kid goes to bed way too late.


Most parents would admit that they are a "late" family. You and your partner do chores late, cook dinner late, and go to bed late.

And since your kid isn't in school or daycare yet, he is no exception. Most nights, it's nearing 11 pm before you get them down to bed. Child psychologists are peetty sure this lack of structure is going to bite both of you in the a** someday.

3) You probably won't "give" him a sibling.


You are like..... you don't have any plans to have another baby, so unless something major happens to completely change your mind, your kid will probably be an only child. This is selfish.

Apparently, if your child doesn't have any siblings, he'll be a sad, lonely little hermit who will grow to hate you for subjecting him to a life without companionship.

Don't follow these parenting 101 tip? If you are taking that chance!

4) You are not strict about food.

As a parent, you might say is not like we're eating caked topped with pizza for dinner every night.

But parenting 101 tip for you, your child should always gets his daily dose of fruits and veggies and also you must rarely order takeout.

But if you have no interest in forcing yourself or your kids to eat those fruits, vegetables and green juice, you can definitely have potato chips in our pantry, enjoy a chocolate chip cookie (or two) from time to time.

Surely, this level of childhood debauchery is going to lead your kids down a path of constant health problems later in life, right??! Meh.

5) You don't ALWAYS put your kid first.


While you may always make sure your child has everything he needs, you definitely don't always put him first.

Sometimes you know he wants to go to the park on a day when it'll be particularly crowded but you don't take him because your anxiety just can't handle it.

Sometimes, he has a tummy ache but you leave him with the sitter and go to work anyway.

And that makes you a bad parent. Maybe he'll turn to a life of crime because you leave him with grandma for date night every Tuesday instead of bringing him along.

Or maybe this is just reality, and we should give parents a break. Your pick.

6) You have no idea what you are doing.

No, seriously. You have no idea. Pretty much everything you do is some variation of "winging it." Even with all the parenting books and all of the advice, you still get pretty lost sometimes.

Fortunately, you might have come to realize that everyone else is pretty much in the exact same boat, even if they don't want to admit it.

And that's perfectly okay. It doesn't matter if we're too busy to put handwritten notes in our kids' lunchboxes every day or we let them stay up way too late.

We're all just doing our best, and the only thing that really matters is how much love we have for our kids.
