Trauma informed mothering two daughters. Always finding the humor in our nonsense.

My 8YO just found AFV on Disney Plus. The giggles are never ending. I feel old. I guess this is how we watched TicTok before social media and smart phones.

Today my husband went the Dr and has kidney stones. We saw a few roaches this weekend for the 1st time in our 11yr of living together. We have been cleaning out the house for the exterminator tomorrow… our OCD selves don’t play that game.

I think this is his worst bday ever.

Took one of my daughters fruit by the foot for part of my lunch today. Opened it and it was blue instead of red. Honestly, that’s the karma I deserve for taking one of her snacks.

Talked to my boss about some personal things. One because she is awesome. Two because we work in health care so nothing is really TMI. She said, “Oh yes, I remember all that happening when I hit middle age.”

Sick burn ma’am. I’m going to go cry now.

I was raised homeschooled in AR. I choose to be vocal about my experience. Please remember the Duggar victims never had a choice. They have their trauma in tabloids and are constantly questioned by reporters because of their parents sick choices.#shinyhappypeople #deconstruction

Today I had a grad party for my daughter. My best friend had her kids first bday party. The irony.

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

My teen daughter just asked what year I was born. The proceeded to tell me I am older than Google. Can I ground an 18 year old?

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

Teen had a friend over. They were asking relationship questions and such. My 8YO buts in and says, “I was in mommy’s belly at their wedding. Just look at that picture and you will know EVERYTHING!”

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

My teen daughter has not been awake at home for more than two hours since Thursday. She just said, “It’s been 20 min. I’m done here”
Senioritis or familyitis?

Husband and I took our co-worker friendship to the next level 10 years ago today. Tonight we aren’t speaking because he wanted to go out to eat and I wanted to order take out.

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

My husband just called me by my first name at dinner and I lost it. He hasn’t called me that since our first kiss which might have been weeks before our first date. What could I have done to deserve this disrespect?

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

Forgot my wedding ring today. I felt like a home wrecker when my husband and I went on a date this afternoon. Clearly everyone we passed saw and thought the worst.

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

Husband is signed up to chaperone 8yo field trip next week. She said, “I hope he doesn’t embarrass me. He won’t be as cool as you were last year.”

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

Can I ground my teen when she laughs at Freaky Friday when the daughter burns the mom??

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

Tonight my 8YO daughter explained to my husband what a period is. She nailed it. Apparently explaining to him what sex is was to awkward and she just made hand motions.
18YO complained about the dinner conversation. I reminded her she started it.

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

Teen has been grounded for over a month. Well deserved.

Tonight we told her we wanted an essay on why what she did was wrong, how it hurt many, and what she learned.

I don’t wanna brag… but my BFF from high school’s parents always did this and I thought it was brilliant!!!

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

My husband told me the fight I picked with him last night was just as rational as my 8YO throwing a fit her PaPa sent surprise pizza instead of a donut.

He isn’t wrong. Damn it.

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

18YO describes our Sunday night. “Mom’s cussing the football game instead of listening to me trying talk to her. Dad’s in there doing laundry. Our family is weird.”

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

My 8YO just asked me to please not get more tattoos cause she doesn’t want me all covered. She then told me I can be a bad ass mom with out them. Guess who wasn’t in trouble for saying those words.

[ModernDayPrincess87 @ChristineWinn87]

Just had to explain to my 8 year old what a dial tone is.
