Keeping it Real: The Reality of Parenthood

This is a sponsored post for which I’ve received free product and/or compensation, but the opinions are 100% my own.

I’ll be honest, before I became a parent, I thought I was an expert on the subject. Observing different parenting styles in public, I’d think to myself, “I would NEVER let my child do that!” or “Wow, I can’t believe that mom let her child wear THAT to the store!” Fast-forward a few years and I find myself telling my children things like, “Be sure to eat your chips before you eat your donut.” and “Please take that dog food out of your mouth.” The reality of parenthood: it isn’t at all what I expected. Every child comes with different quirks, interests, and passions. At times it can be difficult trying to figure out how to effectively reach your children. But as hard as some days may get, parenthood is so much fun and brings so much joy! Can you relate to any of these parenthood realities?

Keeping it Real: The Reality of Parenthood

Your kids become attached to really weird things. Sometimes your kids get attached to things like a worm that they found on the driveway. They play “duck duck goose” with it, make a home for it, feed it, and name the worm. Weeks later after the worm has passed, they still talk about how much they miss that worm.

You will let your kids wear costumes in public just to avoid a fight. Your son will demand to go to the grocery store, playground, mall, etc. dressed as his favorite superhero. You won’t even care because you’re tired and you don’t want contention.

Sometimes you just have to laugh. When your child asks if he can go outside and play in the mud with his rain boots, you shrug your shoulders and say yes. When you look outside and find him IN the mud “playing” with rain boots, you can’t even get mad.

Mopping a few times a week is never enough. If you think you can get away with only mopping every few days, good luck! Try every single meal. Someone ALWAYS spills.

Someone always gets into trouble 2 minutes before you’re supposed to head out the door. Being a parent, you don’t even know what it’s like getting somewhere on time. Just before you’re about to head out the door, you’ll hear the bathtub water running and find your little girl completely soaked.

As any parent can attest, kids will be kids! And that’s why parenthood is so much fun. Although nothing ever quite goes as planned, as a parent, you learn how to roll with the punches. Even though every parent chooses different parenting styles, we are all doing our best to raise happy and healthy kids! That’s why my family loves L’il Critters™ multivitamins. Rooted in wholesomeness and nutrition, L’il Critters™ new Fruit n’ Honey gummy multivitamins provide my kids with the proper nutrients they need to live a happy, healthy, and active lifestyle.

Not only will my kids eat L’il Critters™ Fruit n’ Honey vitamins willingly, but they ask me for their vitamins every day. When I asked my son what he thinks of the flavor, he told me that these gummy vitamins taste “raspberry delicious!” And coming from the pickiest eater in the entire world, that means a lot!
