Anyone who has had young children knows how hard it’s to get out of the home.
Between getting them fed and dressed, nappies modified, toileting done, preparing snacks and someway getting yourself presentable to be out in public, it’s incredible that folks ever leave the home in any respect.
And sometimes you’ve to choose your battles.
Two-year-old desires to wear rain boots on a hot summer day? Why not!
4-year-old desires to wear fleece-lined pants and jumper inside-out so he looks like a “fluffy cat”? By all means!
That’s why it’s easy to grasp why Bonnie Engle took her kids out for a walk in her neighborhood and let her preschooler son wear undies and a t-shirt.
She took a video of herself walking along pushing a stroller, a joyful little pantsless boy following along beside her.
In her hand, she held the pair of pants high like a flag.
“Me showing the entire neighborhood that I’m not a foul mom… I attempted very hard to get him to wear his pants on our walk,” she captioned the hilarious video.
“AT LEAST he’s wearing a shirt, calling it a win,” she continued.
In the event you know the web, perhaps you won’t be surprised to listen to that Bonnie was trolled mercilessly, with plenty judging her parenting decisions.
“Yeah, then you definately don’t leave the home until he learns he must wear pants in public,” one person wrote. “That is ridiculous.”
“I get the entire pick your battles argument, but as a mom of two-year-old twins, that is ridiculous,” one other person agreed. “Easy rules to follow, wearing clothes outside is one in every of them. Not a battle, because I don’t ask, I tell them no.”
“Why do you permit the kid to inform the adult what he’ll or is not going to do,” a 3rd person said. “It’s easy. No pants, no walk.”
But not everyone was critical.
Many agreed that in the event that they were out getting some sunshine and exercise, it was a win.
“Got his undies on though so y’all good! Keep truckin’ mama!” wrote one person.
“If a pants-less baby isn’t an indication of fine motherhood, what’s?” one other person said, thoroughly having fun with the video.
“At the very least he’s not fully naked! Good job mom!!” wrote a 3rd person.
