Would you like to complain? Use your child as a wailing wall

As parents we have a hard time. Work, your sex life, your vacation, your six-pack and good looks and your free drink: we have to keep all the balls in the air. And then your child is also such an attention-eater. Fortunately, your child is also your biggest fan. He will never lose weight, with your mini-me you can be yourself. You don't have to hold back and watch your words.

You can count on your child

When things go wrong, we all need someone we can turn to. The disadvantage of your friends, your husband and your colleagues: they like everything and give good advice that is of no use to you. Fortunately, you can deflate with your child and make your point, without getting any comments. They are just there for you. Your personal little wailing wall. What do you want more?

* You're not in your head when you let your child play with those number 13 asos, are you? You talked about that extensively with your honey. It is then arranged through friends that you do not get those asos at home.

* It's ridiculous that your daughter doesn't get the lead role in the musical. You stimulate your multi-talent to make it clear to the teacher that she has to shine. They will regret it if you miss the lead.

* Your child is a genius. You have already told the master a hundred times that the curriculum must be enriched, so that your apple of the eye can flow quickly. Fortunately, the message seems to get through to the RT employee you hire.

* Your children know their father abandoned you. You don't like to see him, let alone discuss. Your children can tell your ex what you want. You stay in the car. Your little ones don't have to be in pain and grief about it, so if they don't want to see your ex, that's all right.

Because say for yourself: why would you be difficult? Your child can speak for you, right? People take a lot more from your little one than from you. The big advantage is: you never have to have difficult conversations with school and neighbors again. Your nasty ex will stay out of your sight and with a little luck out of your life for good.

In this way you teach your child something about life

You really do not understand why everyone is so hysterical about that delicate child's soul. After all, you were not taken much into account when you were a child and look at how well you have your affairs done.

So, do you want to teach your child something in and about life? Then let them clean up your mess for you every now and then. We have to make children resilient and protect them against the wrong influences of teachers, coaches and exes. Otherwise they will only become mollusks.
