Parenthood: where dignity takes a nap and honesty occasionally hides under the bed. Here’s what every parent secretly does, even if they’ll never admit it publicly!
1. The snack cupboard sneak 🍪
Telling your child the biscuits are all gone, then quietly inhaling them in the pantry when they’re not looking. (Don’t worry—we won’t tell.)
2. Pretending to sleep 😴
When you hear a suspicious noise (read: crying), you suddenly become the deepest sleeper in the world, hoping your partner moves first.
3. Quick tidy panic 🚨
The five-minute dash to make the house look presentable when unexpected guests announce they’re “just around the corner.”
4. Fake enthusiasm 🎉
You've mastered the overly excited "Wow, another stick/rock/scribble drawing! Thank you!" face like an Oscar-winning actor.
5. Blaming the baby 💨
Yep, we see you subtly shifting blame when there’s a suspicious smell. Poor baby—taking the fall every time!
6. Secretly enjoying kids' TV 📺
You complain about watching Bluey or Peppa Pig again but find yourself humming the theme song long after bedtime.
Relax—you’re not alone! Welcome to the universal truths of parenting we all share (even if we pretend we don’t).
