10 Reasons To Feel Smug As A Parent

By  | 

As parents, we question our every move in an effort to be the best parents we can possibly be for our little ones. We are faced with a myriad of decisions that dictate the quality of life and also, the health and safety of our children. Inevitably, some choices may have “better” results than others and some may also require great sacrifice, financial or otherwise. Sometimes, things our kids do or prefer have nothing to do with any choices we have made but the results are impressive anyway. This is where the smug comes in. I know I have felt it at times because (*ahem*) my kids are pretty amazing but try not to show it. It will only make everyone hate you. Here are 10 reasons to feel totally smug around your fellow parents:

1. Your kid is an “adventurous” eater.

2. You use a baby sling.
