Admit it, we’ve all been there. Your patience has run out and you begin to entertain deranged thoughts about how to keep our kids under control in the car just so you can have some peace! Tying your kid to the roof of the car, or duct taping their mouth closed doesn’t seem all that bad, does it?!
If you’ve had “Bad Parent” thoughts, then you are probably normal, providing of course that you don’t seriously act on these thoughts! The best advice I can give if you feel guilty about it, is to just turn it into humor. It’s really our brain’s way of dealing with the stress, and you can actually have fun with these ideas with your kids in the process.
Take a look at the video that my nephews and nieces helped me make along with my own children recently. Obviously I don’t seriously recommend these techniques, but you can’t tell me you’ve never thought of some of them!
While you’re there, please subscribe to Momsminivan on YouTube! I have instructional how-to videos for fun kids activities, as well as product reviews and hopefully a few more humorous parenting videos!
Now, get out that duct tape, and get busy!
