The three parenting moves that are saving my life (and my kids' literal lives) this summer, and everything on the internet that made me laugh last week.
KATHLEEN THE NOS ARE KILLING ME. These are things you WANT TO DO, CHILD. Yesterday going to the trampoline park and then the pool made me want to poke my eyes out with the nos. Is there a thrilling reward at the end of the chart? I must know. And also that woman and her photoshop and the Facebook snooping I DIED. Perfection.
I have a pet theory that reality TV allows us to practice recreational judgment (where we’re under no moral imperative “not to be so judgmental”). I’m currently judging the parents on Polyfamily
Love these ideas! Also Handsome is a brilliant podcast, Mae is non-binary though so it's two ladies plus Mae (or they-de, as they often refer to themselves) x
OK! Love this/need this energy. Have you considered nominating OK Go as your official summer band to help soundtrack your efforts?! Maybe they’d like to sponsor you! 🤓
The ok chart looks like something we need in our lives. Going to try it. Also I recently watched a season of amazing race with my kids and we named one of the contestants baby man. We obviously need to start watching Survivor next.
Omg BABY MAN ☠️☠️☠️☠️ I'm telling you, it's A++ parenting. I really think so! I recommend any survivor season with Coach, who is our family's baby man.
And, YES, to reality TV as vector for parenting/gossip. Traitors and Amazing Race are excellent choices but a whole new world really opens up when your kids get old enough for their first Real Housewives (of SLC, of course). The discussions on friendship and beauty norms and why some bitches just love drama are a critical part of my "raising good humans" plan.

Yes! The child must pick. Anything! A pony! Whatever it takes! Please report back. I really hope it helps, if even a tiny bit.
My house would be more peaceful with more ok energy, too. From me!!!!!!! Making my ok chart now.
ok wow wow wow did my kids pay you to say this
Thinking about implementing an ok chart for the office. Just do the thing. We don't have to talk about it. lmao.
I cannot overstate how in support of this I am

Leigh I know we are supposed to say we don’t judge parents but I DO. A LOT. 😵💫
Love love love the idea of an OK chart! My oldest has the art of saying “no” or “I don’t want to do that” down to a science!!
We love a discerning icon, we just don't want to parent them. I'm… tired. I hope the chart helps!

Thank you so much for this (kind!) correction, I appreciate it Fran. I've updated the post. xx
Oh wow, okay charts going up in the morning!! 🙏
Godspeed!! Report back if you think of it! 🫡

The OK chart is GENIUS.

I cannot WAIT!!
We are currently OK charting per your recommendation and it is GREAT.
I am SO glad to hear this
