20 Ways to Ruin Your Child’s Life

Are you ruining your child’s life? Curious to find out if you are?

Don’t be surprised by some of the ridiculous things kids think we do to deliberately ruin their day, week, month, year! After all, I’m sure you experience it in a daily basis if you have a toddler or a teen 🙄

Sometimes all it takes is for you to ask them how they are and what they have been doing. Or even asking them if they are hungry. Rookie mistake, people!

Apart from the obvious things which are taking it way too far like, reading your teenager’s diary and texts, searching your child’s room when they’re not home and being a helicopter parent. There are other ways to ruin your child’s life. Like breathing!

Apparently just like us grown-ups, kids need personal space too. Even if you are already out of the house and 30 minutes down the road. That’s not enough.

Nic made a HUGE mistake the other day by wearing the same coloured top as her teenage daughter in public. End of the world apparently!!
