Child development is always evolving and each time a parent things that a certain age is the worst, the next one shows up and proves us all wrong. Newborns are tough and there is not much sleep, but then a toddler appears making you wish for those blissful days. Then your toddler turns into a kid who thinks they are old enough to rule the world and they start showing some major attitude. Once they hit 10, we are pretty sure life will calm down, but then they hit the preteen stage. Life with a preteen can sometimes be like walking in a very fragile room. At any moment, life can change and a calm home can turn into a warzone.
Moms of preteen girls are just looking for someone who understands what they are going through. They may have found it with this mom who isn’t afraid to show the world what living with a preteen girl is like.
The mom is Meredith and she is a popular social media mom blogger, and she is known for her “That’s Inappropriate” series. She posted a video on Instagram about what it is like living with a preteen and she nailed every single point down. The video is full of drama and arguing, which is pretty much how a preteen communicates.
Whenever mom asks her “daughter” to do a task, it is followed with arguing and attitude. When her daughter ( who is really her in an awesome outfit) finally does it, it is with more drama involved than any actor has who has ever won an Oscar. The daughter also constantly asks why her mom is doing this to her, because a simple request must be to torture them in some sick, modern way.
One of the funniest parts of the video is when mom asks her daughter to do the dishes, and the daughter comes back with a remark about how she has to do everything. This is a constant battle in a home, with mom ending up feeling like no one sees everything she does for the family.
The video continues with more sass, slamming doors and a lot of feet stomps. A lot of moms could relate to this video, as they shared their own stories. One mom even pointed out that she may need to be concerned because her toddler already acts like this. Preteen is a difficult stage, but moms need to remember that it is difficult for their child too.
They are trying to navigate emotions and hormones for the first time and sometimes all we can do is laugh at funny videos like this to get through it.
