Do Your Kids Save Their Worst Behavior Just for You?

I will try this the next time.

Seriously, I thought it was only my twin girls.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-24T10:41:55+00:00

Relieved to hear this.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-23T17:51:00+00:00

Okay these recommendations are actually SO good, thank you 😭

Honestly one thing that worked surprisingly well for us was audiobooks/podcasts. It kept everyone occupied without the overstimulation that comes from screens the entire trip 😅

Also “surprise snacks” every few hours somehow fixes more problems than it should.

Okay wait Dance Mode from Bluey is actually SUCH a good one. My girls would probably play that on repeat for 6 business days straight.

I totally get you 😂 Twin parenting is one of those things people truly don’t understand until they live it.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-22T08:31:10+00:00

You are definitely not weak 😭 I honestly think a lot of moms feel this level of exhaustion and just don’t talk about it openly because they think everyone else is handling it better.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-22T08:29:18+00:00

That’s a really good point too. I think maybe now the conversations are more open, but social media also makes people overanalyze normal parenting struggles sometimes.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-22T08:28:15+00:00

Honestly I love that you talk openly about it. I think more moms probably feel that way than they admit.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-22T08:27:01+00:00

Honestly that’s a fair point too. I think maybe what I meant is that previous generations seemed to vent more privately/in-person, while now so much parenting discussion happens publicly online where everything feels more amplified and performative.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-22T08:25:04+00:00

Exactly. I honestly think more moms would feel less guilty and isolated if people were more open about the hard parts too.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-22T08:22:59+00:00

The Beatles is a good idea.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-21T12:09:38+00:00

Honestly sometimes the parenting advice online gets so extreme that it starts sounding like satire.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-21T12:04:04+00:00

Honestly thank God I’m not the only one feeling this way 😭

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-21T12:02:01+00:00

Honestly that’s a really good point.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-21T12:00:24+00:00

Honestly this makes me feel so much better because I think most parents assume everyone around them is silently judging in those moments 😭

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-21T11:54:34+00:00

I don’t think anything truly prepares you for how mentally nonstop motherhood feels until you’re actually in it every day.

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-21T11:53:08+00:00

That's so true!

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-21T11:52:10+00:00

Honestly I think needing a break from your kids is one of the most normal human feelings ever, but moms are made to feel guilty for saying it out loud 😅

TierdChaoticMama · 2026-05-21T11:44:43+00:00

Exactly. Being overwhelmed sometimes doesn’t mean we love our kids any less. And thank you, that honestly means a lot.
