THE SECRET OF HALF ARSED PARENTING

Half-Arsed Parenting is all about doing half as much but making everyone twice as happy. It offers a way to raise kids with less pressure, less guilt, less stress and fewer cupcakes baked at midnight.

It's not about doing a bad job. it's about recognising that parents don't have to be perfect. Near enough is good enough. It's okay that your child's first word was Shrek rather than Mumma. No one cares as much as you about the way you're bringing up your kids, which means it's okay to fake it till you make it. If you don't make it, no one will notice, I promise.

It's also about ignoring all the social media fakers who make us feel bad. These include celebrities who spend their days posting inspirational phrases like, "Be the best you (#glow, #bless)", but they've only managed to get out of bed due to a generous slug of vodka in their kale green goddess breakfast smoothie. I am not green nor a goddess. I once tried to drink water with hot lemon and it looked like a giant cup of wee.

Parinta pe jumatate arseda inseamna sa faci jumatate la fel de mult, dar sa faci pe toata lumea de doua ori mai fericit. Ofera o modalitate de a creste copiii cu mai putina presiune, mai putina vinovatie, mai putin stres si mai putine prajituri coapte la miezul noptii.
