Last night, I wore my yoga clothes to bed so I could wake up and have enough time to stretch before taking the kids to school. That’s why I felt better when I learned that fellow mother of five Tori Spelling sometimes relies on shortcuts to make ends meet with her busy kids.
The reality star shared her latest episode misspell On her podcast, 1980s singer Debbie Gibson occasionally put her 7-year-old son, Beau, in his school uniform instead of pajamas so he would be ready for the morning. “I was so lazy with my youngest because there were so many kids that I dressed him at night for the next day,” she admits.
Spelling, who recently separated from her husband of 18 years, Dean McDermott, went on to confide: “So, he eats dinner, takes a shower, but then I’m like, ‘Hey, man. What if we now Just get dressed and you’ll save five more minutes, and then you can go to bed later,’ and I can go to bed later, wink wink.
Gibson assured the star that she’s not a bad mom, but instead, it’s “cool” and “fun” and that’s what she has to “get through.”
Is a rebound necessary?
Still, social media was quick to judge the celebrity mom, with one person on X wondering, “Has anyone thought about calling her CPS?” Meanwhile, another commented, shaming Palin, “In other words, he goes to school in clothes that look like what he wears to bed because that’s what he does. How to teach your kids to look good and care about your appearance is top parenting.
I should point out that Spelling talks about giving her son a bath, so it’s clear she’s teaching him how to take care of his body. Her shortcut was not an “oversight” as some claim, but an example of doing your best to make life run smoothly.
I can even say beverly hills, 90210 The alum is actually teaching her kids that having a perfect morning routine every day is unrealistic. Sometimes you resort to survival tactics so you don’t cry in the shower with shampoo after the kids go to bed. just me?
The truth all parents have to face is that for every Instagram-worthy family moment we create, the same chaos is about to come. For example, yesterday I sent my 6-year-old to his first swim practice early, dressed and ready. Let me go! Then I rushed home and nuke some frozen chicken nuggets and let my kids eat them while they played with Legos and the cold soup from the freezer.
At the same time, I even support Spelling telling Beau that it’s “cool” to wear pajamas instead of school uniforms because sometimes we have to make our lives easier. What? Have you ever sworn to your kids that if they didn’t eat their vegetables, they’d never grow an inch taller – and with a straight face?
Some might even argue that making “monster spray” part of a child’s bedtime routine is a lie. But I’m here to tell you that filling a spray bottle with some water and a drop or two of essential oil and spraying it under your bed and in your closet can mean the difference between being sane and wanting to run out the front door (I I That’s me, not my kids).
Another thing Spelling was demonized for admitting to the parenting tactics that helped her get through the day: What the heck is mom-shaming? How about we praise podcasts for keeping it real? Because we all know that if she said she had a nanny or two to help her with the kids, Spelling would get criticized for that too!
sigh. We can’t win, can parents? Good luck whatever kind of day you have with your kids, and make everyone in the world happy in the process!
