But not everyone abides by those rules.
Thankfully, some parents are also happy to show the side of parenting that’s not so pretty: Mess.

2. “That time of evening when you can’t wait for kiddie bedtime!”
3. “Toys, toys, and more toys.”
4. “I thought I would see what happened when I didn’t constantly clean up after my children for a couple of weeks.”
5. “This is what happens when I get lost in my crochet.”
6. “When you walk in on this and think: ‘I’ll just deal with it in the morning’.”
