There's an update to this! Someone who lives near this shop bought a sweater and mailed it to OP which is delightful.
Bored Panda previously spoke to Dr. Amy Webb of The Thoughtful Parent, who shared her insights about common parenting challenges. According to the mom of two, most couples hit a snag in their relationship because of a lack of communication.
“Many couples don’t discuss their child-rearing ideas before having children, so many issues come up that they haven’t talked about in depth. Even if the partners share similar values, the daily life of parenting requires many decisions and compromises that can raise difficulties for couples.”

It's comprehensible, when 10y/o kids have their fair ammount of drink they start to talk politics and ruin the mood.
Dr. Amy says it is natural to feel some stress when raising children. She reminds all parents not to lose sight of the bigger picture.
“Keeping the long-term goals you have for your child in mind makes it easier to compromise on these smaller issues.”
Moms are under different stress levels because they are the child's primary caregivers. Because of all that pressure, they develop what parenting experts describe as "mommy brain."
Simply put, when your mind is too preoccupied with your maternal obligations, you forget mundane details like where you last put your keys or even forget a coworker's name for a moment.

My son decided at 4 that he doesn’t want to have a job when he grows up, as it takes too much time off other activities.
To better understand what goes on in a woman’s mind during mommy brain episodes, Atlanta-based mother of two Divya Vaswani shared her first-hand experience in an interview with Very Well Family.
“It feels as if something is always missing,” she explains. “Something as simple as ‘chair’ wouldn’t come to mind even after staring at a chair. It can feel like you’re in a constant state of fog.”

But you didn't finish the game! It ends when she looks over the paperwork, asks what you are here for and then says 'I am sorry. Your insurance doesn't cover that kind of treatment'

My oldest had the habit of naming her stuffies by adding -y at the end of their animal name, and couldn't understand why we wouldn't let her name one Octop*ssy.
Just like in these tweets, a few funny moments can come out when mommy brain strikes. Here’s what happened to 32-year-old Chicago resident Carly Kuikman.
“My poor son did end up at the pool swimming in his shorts once,” she recalled. “While not a big deal on its own, before we left the house, my husband asked if we had everything we needed for the pool.
“Diapers? Check! Towel? Check! Change of clothes? Check! It wasn't until we were in the locker room changing that I realized I forgot his swimsuit.”

In Toronto, in 1985, I had the usual vasectomy, excellently well performed, no pain or discomfort - back to work the next day, cost nothing. And my Wife could stop worrying about miscarriages. Good decision.
Because of their role as caregivers, moms feel the brunt of the exhaustion. According to a 2023 article by the Pew Research Center, they are more inclined to say that parenting is much more complicated than they thought.
Mothers also tend to feel judged by their parents or in-laws for how they raise their children.

After I joined the Navy and moved out of the house, I called my mom at 6:55 AM every year on my birthday to tell her happy birthday to me! Thanks mom!
Regarding how they treat their kids, statistics show that dads are more likely to admit giving their children too much leeway to do whatever they want. Fathers are also more inclined to raise their kids similarly to how they were raised.
And because of this, more dads also feel judged by their spouses for how they raise their children.

However, despite these inevitable difficulties, the research showed that most couples find parenting rewarding and enjoyable. They are also aligned in their goals for their children and want them to grow up to be honest, ethical, hardworking, and ambitious individuals.

In common parlance, an Irish exit (or "Irish goodbye") refers to someone leaving a social gathering without notifying the host. “An 'Irish exit' is another name for slipping out the back (or front) door seemingly unnoticed by the host,” source: national etiquette expert Diane Gottsman at today.com

Why do they fuss and scream and have meltdowns before shower time but then leaves you biting your nails about the water bill for the inordinate amount of time they spend in there

To make his wish come true nobody speaks for the whole day. Even when he ask a question, don't respond. See how long he wants somebody to speak to him or answer his question?

When I was a pre-teen I attempted to bake something every time my parents went out and had me babysit my little brother. I used my mom's ancient Betty Crocker cook book. And holy moly did I make some epic messes and inedible food! The worst was when I tried the recipe for poured candy. After some time I was banned from cooking unless an adult was home. :)

I told my daughter the story of the evil, genocidal cyanobacteria that exterminated 99% of all life, back in the day. She then asked, "What are they planning next?"

Raising two daughters on my own, I can relate to a lot of this and it's funny as hell. Also now that they are out in the world, both highly succesful, the thought that I accomplished this makes my life meaningful. But now it's PARTY ON DUDES!

I have an adult daughter and I can honestly say it is so much fun. It’s my favorite part of being a parent.
