💬 Parenting Out Loud: Your Petty Parenting Line in the Sand
What’s one parenting rule you refuse to budge on but know is (slightly) ridiculous?
Maybe it’s banning light-up sneakers, requiring all socks to match, or refusing to allow your teen to refer to anyone as "bruh" while under your roof. We all have those small parenting rules that matter way more to us than they probably should.
Let’s laugh at ourselves a little…
What’s a silly (or absurd) parenting rule you’re weirdly committed to?

Emptying the lint trap. That’s the rule. A couple of years ago, I splurged on a stunning navy blue washer and dryer set, and yes—I adore them. I’ve fully fantasized about designing a whole laundry room around their vibe. I treat them with the reverence of a vintage car collector, and I expect the same from everyone else. My girls get one warning. After that, it’s laundry mat exile. Respect the lint trap or lose access to the goods.
Slime is not allowed, ever. I can’t take it.
