How many of these do you agree with?

1. Pay full price for brand name clothes.
I simply do not give two farts about brand names, and I refuse to pay full price for an item simply because it has the phrase Under Armour plastered across it. My parents operated with a similar mindset, and I did not die. In fact, I wasn’t even resentful toward them for it. It helped me develop my Honey Badger mindset and allowed me to resist the mainstream and be more free-thinking. If I find a name brand item on clearance or at a discount store for a decent price, then I may buy it if it’s something my kids need (I’m not totally heartless).

 

2. Join the PTA.
To all of you PTA moms out there: Keep rockin’ it and doing what you do; I admire your gumption. I cannot work, write, mother, wife, and then drag myself to PTA to plan fundraisers for the school. I will gladly attend your event, and I will purchase (and eat) the cookie dough, but I will not be on your committees.
3. Let my kids do every activity they want to do.
No freaking way am I going to fill my schedule running children to a different activity each night. I am just not wired to be able to handle this. If we don’t have at least two free weeknights, I turn into an absolute nightmare who runs around raging about missing jerseys and all the vegetables that still need to be cut up, so I cap my kids’ activities. They can only do one activity at a time. I want to teach them how to prioritize at an early age so they can develop healthy habits that will carry over into their teen years. I want them to know that they don’t have to do everything and be everything for everyone…
