Does she have a daughter?
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!
Hannah I love wine mom. ❤❤❤
I'm about to be a mom and this helped ease some of the anxiety I've been having. Thanks, wine mom!
Omgoodness I love these videos. You are an awesome mom. I appreciate this video so much.
This video really spoke to me. I am a stay at home dad, and mom works full time, just like you. So our daughter can have insurance just like you said. My wife and I agreed that daycare just wasn't for us, so I FaceTime with her while she's at work, and send her multiple pictures a day. Like you said, by no means are we perfect parents, and sometimes we're on the verge of losing it, but damn it we try. Like you said, our daughter is loved, clothed and fed… Which is more than can be said for mommy and daddy sometimes, but that's how it goes.
It's just very refreshing, and encouraging to see a video like this that reminds us that "hey, we're doing alright". Just because we might need a break, or we can't get our 11 month old daughter to sleep in her crib so she sleeps in our bed is ok. Being a parent is the hardest thing either of us have ever done, and it's nice to hear someone tell us that because we don't do things the "conventional way", that were doing it wrong.
Thank you for shining a little ray of hope in my wife and I every week, we love all the videos. If you could do one on sleeping habits that would be great. Continue to drink your wine, and I will cheers you every time.
Love
Oh I'm calling my mom
I watch Buzzfeed for something odd, not for some mom giving advice.
Your kids have food in their bellys and a roof over their head with a mom that loves them…you're the best mom.
she always sounds like shes about to cry
YES MAMA. SLAY THIS WORLD
I would say don't be too hard on yourself but, you're a mom & that's what we do. So from a mom of grown (happy, healthy, kind & productive) children who worked full time. You're doing great! Don't sweat the small stuff, cherish the small moments. Mac & Cheese hell even cereal is completely acceptable for dinner. Screen time isn't that serious! As long as it's balanced & not used as a constant "babysitter". There's NO SUCH THING as a perfect parent even an okay one is so much better than a lot of kids have. If we were perfect what on earth would our grown children say during "my parents used to…" conversations? Right now your children are young enough that, while it's stressful the issues you're dealing with quite frankly are easy peesy. Love them unconditionally, support their choices, set & follow through with rules/boundaries, teach them kindness, gratitude, hard work and empathy. Give them guidance to be independent and you've done it. The little stuff like laundry, dishes, perfect family pics, what anyone else thinks! That stuff doesn't really matter and it's certainly not what your kids will remember. Even after doing all the right things, your children will be, who they will be. Even the so called "best parents" struggle with the individual choices some of their children make. I wish you and your family happiness and health!
i feel exactly the same way. its all about maintaining a daily routine and repeat. i try to put it as a challenge and if i can, find a improved method to be ahead of the game instead of being dragged by the tasks. faster preparation and time management is key. some items can even be allocated to kids as a discipline. depending on their age, might be able to teach dishes, laundry, house cleaning and looking after babies while i relax (such as typing this).
I'm an okay dad. My wife and I have lived separately for awhile and live in different states. Our daughter just turned 2 but I have not been able to see her since she was 6 months old due to travel costs. I pay spouse and child support and love them both dearly. Eagerly awaiting that day I can hug her in my arms again and say I'm ur daddy! And I love you! I'm doing everything I do for my little girl miles away ❤️️

What's her phone number?

You don´t have to be perfect. There is not just one perfect way for raising a child. You just have to care about and love your children, so they can have a happy childhood. That is what makes real good parents. ^^
So many kids have to live in such bad circumstances, so props and thank you to all parents (couple, single or whatever kind of family structure, working situation…hell, no matter what) who truly are parents. 🙂
If there would be a nobel prize for parenting, you sure would get it. ;)
I love Hannah…. I'd love to be her friend
