Be honest. Before you had kids, you said "My kids will never ___".

We were the "perfect parents" before we were actually parents.

We were full of hopes and dreams of the picture-perfect family. Saturday mornings spent at the library, only education toys were played with, weeknights would consist of homemade dinners from scratch, and everyone ate their veggies without complaint!

Then real life hits. And, suddenly, that perfect picture turns into a hodgepodge of messy floors, chicken nuggets for dinner (again), and maybe a little too much screen time.
