'Let's just put on some Peppa Pig!': Rebellious moms confess which "parenting rules" they ended up breaking once they finally got a real taste of motherhood

Before you actually experience the trials and tribulations of having your very own kids, it's not uncommon to make all sorts of promises to yourself about what sort of parent you intend to be. It's easy to judge other mothers from the outside when you've never been in their shoes and think you'd never act that way or let your child do this or that. Most people who have no children and no experience with them have a tendency to imagine that they will have the most obedient and emotionally-regulated child in the world, and then they base all of their parenting assumptions on that hypothetically perfect baby.

Don't feel bad if you did this or find yourself doing it before you have kids. TikTok is filled with mommy influencers that conveniently edit out their kids' tantrums and their own cranky moments that wouldn't make for good "gentle parenting" content. Find out how real life moms broke their own, self-imposed parenting rules when they finally got a real taste of motherhood.
