Which makes me wonder. Dad’s of Lemmy…what’s the worst advice you’ve ever received about parenting?

    This one wasn’t advice, but one of those “when I have kids…” statements.

    Our 2 year old daughter is in a phase where she’s very picky about what she wears. Purple, unicorns, mermaids, rainbows, and princesses are the generally accepted categories. Since life is hard enough, we tend to let her choose her outfits. We even go so far as to let her pick out her next day’s outfit, and then sleep in that because she hates most pajamas.

    My brother in law let me know that when he has kids, they’re going to wear what he tells them to wear. I just kinda chuckled.

    I pick my battles. As long as she is clothed appropriately, there are many other things I can waste my time fighting over.
