To shower or not to shower? Not going to lie, my husband and I have the most awkward conversations. I seriously wish we could tape ourselves and play it for you all so you can fully understand. We are pretty chill parents so when we were driving home last night, we were trying to figure out bedtime after spending ALL day outside. Spending the day outside playing and going to events, and even throw up.

The reason we needed to figure out logistics is because we have 3 kids! Under 5! and it was passed bedtime! So of course, they were all sleeping in the car. As we drove home, my husband asks if the kids needed a bath. I looked at him and laughed, “of course they need a bath”. And then he looked at me and for the next 10 minutes we went back and forth analyzing the pros and cons and the reasons why or why not we should give the kids a shower. It was hilarious, but it also made us think of different types of parenting and how circumstances change plans of actions.

There was no doubt that they needed a shower, but was it easier and smoother to just transition them straight to the bed, take their clothes off and baby wipe them. Or did we really want to go through the chaos of waking them up, bathing them and trying to make them fall asleep after they were asleep? Decisions-decisions.

My husband encouraged me to write this little post as a way to see what other odd decisions you’ve had to make in parenting. He believes we aren’t the only ones that have these struggles!

So tell us what has been the silliest decision you’ve struggle with?
