My parenting rules as a single, sober, millennial mother

- A requested video of me giving some of my parenting decisions, morals and values. These are just my opinions based off of my personal experiences and beliefs. I'd never judge another parent for making decisions that best serve their children personally, ever if they differ from mine.
I am not perfect and I make mistakes- I just pray to always continue to grow and learn. ♥️

Hi guys, sorry that the video cuts off. I was having some technical difficulties and I didn’t catch that! XO love y’all.

Let me know if I’m right…

@@strikkerranselmo7622 it was take your daughter to work day I doubt she was actually pouring drinks… my dad worked in pups growing up and I worked in the kitchen with him starting my first day with take your kid to work day. I was 13 almost 14 so it’s a little different but she doesn’t just bring her to the bar scene on the regular lmao
You put more effort into this 20 minute video than some people put into their whole experience parenting.
Lmao
Sad but true 🥲

My son is autistic and I have accidentally used the R word when I fully meant to say stupid…. Very frustrated that my subconscious still uses that word to describe something. Embarrassing. I really love that you’re teaching her that the R word is disgusting and not okay to use to describe anything. I appreciate that!
What is r word
R3t@rd. Basically a disgusting thing to call someone in general, means awfully stupid
i’m recovering from borderline personality disorder and i’m only 17, but i really want to be a mom one day. You inspire me that i can do it one day ❤
you can. & you’re going to be a great loving mother. In Jesus name . Amen ❤❤
I’m 25, I was diagnosed with BPD at 17. I got the green DBT workbook and it worked wonders for me. As I’ve gotten older things have gotten easier. I just have to keep taking my meds and going to therapy 😂 i wish you the best ❤
I'm 39. I have a 10 yr old boy with His Mother. He lives with her. Recovering from BPD. 5 yrs in the making. I know you have the Compassion and Empathy to be a great Mother. Good days, bad days, good weeks, bad weeks happen for everyone. Seeing someone at 17 being productive is inspiring. Thank You for your comment.
I have bpd you don’t “recover” from it what she is talking about is drug recovery mental health is not something you recover from you will always have it. You can manage it
I believe you can do anything! 🥰
Ten out of ten for your parenting style. Love it. Teaching her what really matters and not sweating the small stuff ❤️❤️
Abbey, I am 18 days sober from alcohol today. That is the longest I have ever gone. I want to thank you for showing me sobriety is not boring but full of joy and that no matter how bad things got I could turn it around. Your content has potentially saved me my life. Thank you for being a light in dark places when all other lights went out.
You can do it your amazing okay
18 days! So fucking proud of you, so proud! I know I don’t know you, but you’re doing the damn thing, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Oh my god are you kidding me 18 days that is fucking amazing. I remember when I had eaten days and I thought it it felt like 18 years but 18 days will turn into 30 which will turn into a year which will turn into 18 months which will turn into five years. Just keep doing what you’ve done these last 18 days and it will multiply and be easier every day I am I almost 13 years and I hate even saying that because I remember when I was early on I thought oh my God like you have no idea what I’m going through because it’s been so long for you, but I promise you I never ever forget that day that I made that decision I never forget with those withdraws that like I never ever forget what it’s like in rehab and I will always remember my last high
You are doing amazing. I don’t know you, but I am so proud of you. I just want to tell you that are an amazing person, and you should never give up.
Congratulations 18 days is a huge accomplishment!
As someone that grew up in 2 homes, hearing your perspective is so validating🥹 The flexibility and respect you give to Myla is going to give her the tools to be an amazing person❤️
So happy I found your channel- thank you for everything you share ❤
10:17 "We can never know what it feels like to be Myla" and tbh i think thats what sets you apart from a lot of parents. Yall (including Bobby) practice so much self awareness and give your baby the room to grow within her own unique situation. i can hear the thoughtfulness and consideration in your voice and it honestly moves me to tears. if i ever have a daughter, i hope i can be as patient, considerate and compassionate as you are.
yes girl i just got an ad GET YOUR BAG!!!!!
Agree completely. Social media is so dangerous ESPECIALLY TikTok. Annnnd even certain games they can chat with strangers.
I really, really adore y’all. The things you’ve been through and the way you alchemize your struggle into your power is fucking unreal dude! I hope that you radiate the confidence that you are really doing the damn thing because you’re fucking special Abbey, you really are. Keep on rising girl. Love to see it, freaking love it.
Thank you! I appreciate this
You are so well spoken.
You don't have to justify what an incredible mommy you are. You're raising such a strong woman. I take my hat off at your sacrifices, point of view, and relationship with your baby. Not only do you love and respect her, you are also showing Myla how to love and respect everyone e in her life. Don't doubt yourself!
You’re so sweet, but none of this is a justification! I had a lot of comments asking for me to share my parenting styles, that’s all 🫶🏽
The small things like letting her get her nails done the small makeup everything she will appreciate that as she grows I promise being told no to things like that as a little kid only makes you wanna do it more! Plus you are letting her express her self creatively absolutely nothing wrong with that!!
You are so right I remember as a child my mama would always let me get fake nails from Kmart or Walmart and I thought I was something. She was worried about taking me to nail salons because she didn't want me to get a fungus but I was allowed to go for prom and certain events and when I was 19 I ended up getting a fungus that came from going to the nail salons. Which occasionally I still go to the nail salon to get my nails done but I usually stick with press on nails. We would have Spa nights where she taught me how to take care of my skin when I got older and we would do each other's makeup. Saturday's was our day for shopping and she always made sure that I was dressed InStyle and whatever was in fashion at the time she knew all about it I made sure that I rocked it. Now that I'm older I do the same things with my daughter and I have so many fond memories with my mama. The only thing she didn't allow was for me to wear the shiny white eyeshadow which was everything back in the late 90s early 2000 but with that said I could wear it when I was with my friends she just wouldn't buy it for me laugh out loud❤❤❤
Well , it's wonderful. Why not teach , your Girls to be well groomed.
You're a great parent and a great influence... Also it does not matter what anyone else thinks of your parenting as you already know!!!! Im 40 and a sober mama of 3, happily married. We are very similar even in the ways we grew up and in our parents style.... Much love from NC!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Also soooo happy your channel is growing so fast!!!!!
You’re a great mom and congratulations on 5 years sober ❤ You and your daughter are so pretty btw
I love this video girl. Lately I've been getting into your videos more and more and I am an absolute fan. I had my first child at 19 as well! I am on my 3rd but none the less I do have an 8yr old currently and as a mother in this day and age you remind me so much of myself! Your parenting style is basically exactly like mine and I love seeing it. Keep going girl you are doing AMAZING and Myla is the proof of that!!!!!!! Love you guys❤
As a child of an addict, you are doing a great job the simple fact you put her before yourself is more than enough ❤
Hey listen, negative comments don’t mean shit. As someone who came form divorced parents that were addicts and couldn’t get past the divorce for ten years. I’m still dealing with it today. Seeing Myla and you packing up her bags makes my heart so happy. I remember packing my bags the night before checking over and over in the morning or before school that I had everything. And by everything meaning the stuffed animals that were my comfort. Where even after 22 years are the things that still bring me comfort. I slept with alll four of my childhood stuffed animals last night. So ignore that shit. Myla is gonna grow up and hopefully not need that familiar scent because she knows she is so loved. No where and in no sense a bad mom. I have never experienced half of the stuff you have with your mom. Cooking. Her doing my hair. It makes me happy. I can’t wait to have a daughter to show her that type of love, the Love you give Myla. And he’ll yeah my daughter will be able to say damn when she’s home alone. I completely agree with everything. You’re doing amazing literally. She’s gonna grow up feeling loved important and secure. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
Thank you for not forcing her to eat. That is something as a society I feel we need to forgive from above.
The amount of make up you allow her to wear is age appropriate. She’s not doing full coverage, cut creases, sharp contour and false lashes. Lip gloss, Pink blush and press on nails. Is just fine!! You’re an amazing mom & I’m envious of your co parenting relationship
would love to listen to a podcast by you! you have so much experience and wisdom and watching your videos really motivates me ❤ wishing u the best 🤍🤍
I love how she described swear words as words that hurt peoples feelings. There’s parents out there that allow their kids to say shut up, stupid, the r word and worse, extremely racist words but would have a freakin stroke if their kid said shit 🙄
I curse a lot lol but I'm never directing it at people like I might say "this pizza is effing banging" but I would never walk up to somebody and say "eff you". I love your channel I think you do a great job.
I love how you are so balanced with your parenting, you allow Myla enough freedom to have fun and enjoy herself but also set clear and healthy boundaries for things she can't do. So much respect for you Abbey!
Girl you are fabulous and doing a fantastic job! You clearly devote yourself to your daughter and she is clearly very loved!
Such thoughtful parenting!!! I love it. Who cares who agrees or not, it works for your family and that’s ALL that matters ❤
Awesome video! I've heard a quote that sticks with me "just because someone does something differently, doesnt make it wrong. Just different." You know what's best for your household and intentionally changing things you know wont work is amazing. 💕
Wow Abby . I just recently found u . U are an absolutely wonderful mama
ur doing amazing sweetie!!! lol we parent a lot alike!!
I love you don’t make her finish her food growing up that was always a rule in my family and it took me a long time to learn it’s okay to stop eating when full instead of when it’s gone
I also had my daughter at 19 and just had another baby at 21. I’m going to my first NA meeting today and I just want to thank you for being so open and honest. Im also raising my kids completely opposite of how I was raised, but as I’m young and still healing that’s been difficult to navigate. I feel heard. Thank you.
That is so hard, I'm proud of you! I had my daughter at 19, and I had twins at 22, I'm 23 now!
Finally. A parent who gets it. ❤
Not a mom, or in sobriety, but I absolutely love you! You have such girl boss energy 💪
What happened at the end of the video it cut off in the middle of the time management talk? Great video though mama! We are so proud of you and mostly all the ones with the most negative comments towards parenting are most of the time not even parents themselves 🤍🤍
im currently 21 with twins i also have a coparent relationship with their father while we mend our personal relationship this woman helps me realize that coparenting isnt always a bad thing (breakin that generational curse)
Hi Abbey! I have a couple of questions for you! I really appreciate how transparent you are and how you parent with confidence and willingness to be incredibly sensitive to your daughters needs!
Based on what you said of Myla's routine, does she have the same routine on days / nights where she's at her dad's house? I'm curious if there's a united team effort to work with the same schedule for her or if she just knows "I'm at mom's house today so my schedule will look like ___" as opposed to the norm at her dad's.
If I think about what it may feel like if I child being out of sight for 3 1/2 days a week based on what you said, to me feelings like anxiety and sadness sort of creep in - even if the best intentions are for Myla to have a relationship with both of her parents. Do you have tips or methods to cope with these feelings (if / in the way you may experience them) to be fair to both your other co-parent and Myla?
Hi babe!! so yes, I share my routine with Bobby and his mom in hopes that they keep a similar one over there. They do their best, but at the end of the day I have no control over if they fully pull through or not. That alone has been some thing I’ve had to work through. Understanding that the parenting & scheduling over there may not be exactly what I want it to be, but I have to tell myself as long as she is Safe, healthy, and loved, I have no control.
It has been such a work in progress dealing with the days she’s gone. For me, it’s about keeping busy during that time. The nice thing is, she’s old enough to where I can communicate back-and-forth with her on her iPad if I am missing her. Other than that, it’s about staying busy with work, and taking care of myself, so that I can be the best version of myself for her on the days I do have her. I hope this helped!
I grew about in a split home my parents had me when they we’re dating and broke up after I was born it was always so hard because one house would have different rules and expectations . I grew up living with my mom,and ever other weekend I would go see my dad and that went on till I became a teenager.
As a disability support worker, thank you for teaching your little one about the r word. My father used it a lot when I was growing up (still does) and it’s very uncomfortable to hear :(
Please tell me more about Jesse Waters!!! What was that about??
“Shut up” is the one word my bf and do not use at all unless it’s something juicy
Yesssss keep her off of TikTok!! It’s so dangerous for such small kiddos!!!
I hate it lol
Girl i dont even have kids but i just love supporting you!! Super insightful 💚
you’re such a good mom while still being so cool and fun, i hope i can be like you when i’m a parent!
You’re so right words are words unless they are descriptive to offend someone…like “slow” it’s not a curse word but is will offend certain people but saying shit is not going to offend someone unless you directly call someone a piece of shit
However the one thing I don’t agree with is allowing her to watch RUclips but that’s just my opinion…my daughter with restrictions and all learned about TikTok from RUclips and starting talking about wanting to make TikTok videos so I had to cut it off completely…I am not affiliated with TikTok in any way shape or form but the two go hand in hand
so much intentionality and critical thinking behind your parenting style!! love that you don't follow arbitrary rules for the sake of following them and instead have context and reasoning behind your decisions :) myla is lucky to have a momma like you!!
As a child of split homes that was really messed up by it, I appreciate it. I always felt out of place and like my well-being was an afterthought to what my parents wanted in regards to custody and divorce. Makes me feel good ur breaking the cycle and prioritizing her needs. ❤
Also, buy her what u want. I feel for RUclipsrs because you have to explain things that I don’t think you should. I know you are being polite to your viewers, but I hope people believe that we are still gracious observers, not tyrants, etc.
Hey girl! Just stopped by to support. Hope you had Sissy are doing great! Keep up the amazing work 🎉❤
What happened to the end of the video??? It just ended mid sentence 😢
I think your rules are very valid and you seem like a great mom! I have one question, would you let myla have social media like tiktok or instagram when she’s a teenager or would she never be aloud to have it?
I don’t get how people have a problem with kids not having tick-tock it is meant for 13+ so it just makes sense that her 8 year old doesn’t have it and she is also right saying that youtube has kid settings witch work really well wen you wanna keep your kids safe online. Love your vids ❤️
I agree with the swearing! Swears can be used to express yourself like when hurt or whatever as long as their are no bad intent
Im not a mom, but I am in sobriety and I would love to be an amazing mother like you one day! Also could you do a video on how to stick to a routine because I really have trouble with that I work Monday-Friday and go to church on Sundays so I'm pretty busy all week and I just need some tips on how to stay on a schedule and still have time for me. I get lazy after work and going to the tanning bed when I get home I just sit around and then it gets late or after I eat dinner I'm beyond tired and don't get nothing done I need help and motivation lol
Do you ever disagree about a rule that Bobby has for Myla
Your stance on “the R word” made me love you EVEN more than I already did.
Did the video just cut off..? Hoping she does a part 2!! I love her mother daughter dynamic and am fascinated by this video ❤
Also shout out to bobby because there are most men who will leave the mom and child and go on about their merry way and then there are the men who want to stay and Mom💕❤️ says OK every other weekend so shout out to your mama because the hardest thing in the world to do is just put your time evenly with somebody else when it comes to your child so good for you you’re doing what is the best for your child? You’re a great mom. This is my third comment because you’re such a great fucking kick ass mom and nobody knows what it’s like to parent in recovery unless you have fucking done it.
Facts. He stepped up to the plate big time whenever I went to treatment for the first time.
Does she stay in this schedule at her dads house as well and does the schedule change on the weekends? I’m recovery will have 7 years this year and I gotta admit schedules is what I suck at. I know I need to get better at them but I just at them. I agree on everything you said and am the same way with almost everything you said except for the schedule part lol. My husband and I are the complete opposite with parenting he’s more old school parents like his and mine did back in the day and im. It like that at all. Im the end we balance each other out.
I have similar rules with cussing- I have a 13 and 9 year old and I could careless they say shit sometimes.
I however do not allow any of us to curse at eachother- or out in public-
And we don’t say bitch.
If my kid says “ I’ve had a rough fuckin day” I really wouldn’t care.
However they really only say shit from time to time.
If they ever went around saying fuck this, fuck that or this or that person is a bitch or my son say “ my sister is being a fucking asshole” THEN we would have problems. But they know that words can hurt people and context matters so they don’t ever speak to eacogher like that- and honestly since making curse words not such a taboo thing they honestly rarely even say them cuz they don’t seem so… as I stated.. taboo! I want them to know cursing about something Vs cursing at someone is different and certain words like bitch can be derogatory but a word like shit or fuck- as long as not directed at someone are literally the least of my worries as a parent with a teen.
If my kid had a rough day and needs to blow off steam and drops a single f bomb I’m not gonna say a word- cuz I’m just greatful my kid is coming to me when unloading about their day and however they need to express themselves to ME as their mom is fine with me personally. They know that if family is around or out in public it isn’t acceptable as OTHEr people may take offense (and they are allowed to take offense) and if anything it teaches them self control and to know that each person you interact with is different levels of vulnerability and they are still children at the end of the day. Honestly my kids and I joke and drop a f bomb or say shit and we have an absolutely amazing relationship my kids get in zero trouble with friends or at school, have zero interest in experimenting when their friends smoke vapes ( yes 12 year olds already do that at their school) so i consider my kids really well behaved! Cuz they are! Cussing doesn’t define you as a good or bad person. I can tell ya that!
Hitting your funny bone and stubbing your toe are the two things that make swearing the most tempting.
I haven’t even made it through the full video yet but I just have to say, you are an absolutely amazing mother Abbey. I love your videos. I’m so proud of you💕
❤ I like her but I don't agree kids can say bad words
Haven’t even watched it and already hit like lmao 😅🤣💖
I so resonated w the gift thing. I do the same thing and i won’t stop cause i know it’s right. Love this video
Fairly new to your channel, I mainly watch your shorts but mama you're an AMAZING parent. Before my two boys I had a drinking problem and had a coke addiction. I've been clean of any and all drugs for 7 years and limited my alcohol consumption where I now haven't had a drink in a year. But if I do drink I only ever have one drink and it's only on a special occasion if I'm with family. I used to be so embarrassed and shameful and you help embrace it and bring awareness. I'm so proud and I love your coparent relationship with mylas dad. I respect it so much. My kids have a step father and he's absolutely amazing with my kids. He loves them like his own. All that aside, let people say what they want. Never have it question you as a mama. You're amazing and the fact you are so open and there for your baby girl will only have her trust you more especially as she gets older. You're doing an awesome job raising the sweetest girl! ❤❤
To each their Own. I respect you and your parenting techniques. Ppl shouldn't be criticizing other moms .
i never comment but Girl
i love your vibes & how strong you are !! You bring hope to others
Thank you abbey !!!! ❤ I requested this & I was so happy to see you made a video! ❤
Love you ❤
I love how you mentioned having a routine so she knows what to expect & how it’ll give her more control. The home words also make sense because I feel like I was never taught what those
words meant which encouraged me to say those things. I definitely wrote down a lot of your tips and tricks.
It’s great how you also are teaching her cleaning is important and to handle it head on !😊
This gave me so much hope as a new single mom. You’re such an inspiration and I love watching you and myla grow and I can only hope my son and I have a relationship like y’all do ❤
Never think you have to apologize for the way that you are raising your child key word is YOUR as long as you are not endangering her and she has a roof over her head and clothes on her back she is great she has her sober mama and that's all that matters
how many tattoos do you have? would love to see them
youre seriously such a safe space for me, abbey, and i thank you. lots of love&hugs pretty lady
12:10 I was force fed at my daycare as a child and I’ve seen many of my friends parents who would force them to sit at the table till they were done. I agree children should just be taught to listen to their bodies
I was so invested in your words but the video cut off when you were explaining time management. Was it accidentally cut off? I'd love to hear more.
I can tell you as someone coming from a split home I would have anxiety often because There was constant changes!!! Not good!!! So I love you recognizing that consistency is important. ❤
Hello sunshine, you are such an inspiring person 💗
as an autistic supporter of yours, the fact that you make it extremely clear that the R word is not allowed to be used. this made me respect you a lot more thank you for that❤️❤️
Hi Abbey, I’m a sober mama too and I love your channel and shorts. I’ve really been struggling lately, not with staying clean but with finding my purpose and living instead of existing.
This weekend or next weekend I might be driving from CT to Pittsburgh for a birthday solo trip to go to the Andy Warhol museum. Any suggestions on some cheap lodging or other fun things to do?
Thank you for always keeping it real and being so inspiring to the sober community. Some of your videos have given me a laugh on days where that just felt impossible. Wishing you the best in your social media endeavors and all else ❤ -Christina
You're doing great!!! Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
I just love you as a fellow mother, as a daughter, as a person in general. period. ❤
It's fine to buy your child my sayings even things that maybe our little too mature for her in some ways or would be used to mature for her as long as they're not harmful who cares but that being said I hope that you were helping her understand the correlation between the work and effort you're putting into afford those things have her understand that not everyone can afford to have those things just because I want to make sure that she's not ever going to be the kid who thinks that that's normal because that inadvertently puts a lot of pressure towards the kids that are around her and it might put a lot of pressure on her as an adult to be at the same level when you don't start at those levels unless you were extremely wealthy from like inheritance or something like that and either way even if you were an independently wealthy person starting out it's important to show even those people that that's not the norm it's the exception just so they can be appreciative of what they have as well as the understanding when other people don't but as long as you're in stealing that in her who cares by her what you want you're her momthose things are not going to hurt her one way or the other as long as she understands and appreciates the value of them because my kid has super nice things but she also understands how hard it is for me to provide those things for her and I think she realizes how much effort it's going to take her to have those things as an adult and I've tried to instill respect for people who are trying and not getting those things as well as a generosity towards the people who don't even have what they need
Why did it cut off 😭
Also, my daughter is now 18th if she uses curse words I still don’t like her to use the F word at 18 years old and I never allowed them to use curse words, even as little ones but if I had heard what you just said back, then I probably would have and you’re right there other words that are far worse than shit and damn like the R word absolutely what are the worst words in the dictionary to be used negatively
You should make a podcast
I just fell in love with you. I am not a mom but I did loose my mom in 2021 and am recovering from opioid addiction that got really bad after she passed. Your videos are so lovely. Keep being you. I especially love that you do not allow the R word at all and you’re reasoning was chefs kiss.
You are doing very well by being a single parent and you are an amazing mom and your daughter loves you and I love her nails and yo nails and if you this just remember you are amazing and don’t listen to hater’s
Girl if the worst thing ppl can say is that you let your daughter get her nails done, THEN YOU’RE DOING AN GREAT JOB!
Love your vids such an inspiration ❤❤❤
Girl it's ok my mom had me at 19 she is 29 I'm 11 and I say to her cuse she is so hard on her self so I am like MoM ITS OK but the fact that you let her do these things young is good bc it's better to learn or get privelidge at a young age
wow. 😢 3 1/2 days. i could cry. i’m so sorry. the things we do as mothers for our kids to be happy . how selfless of you ❤❤❤❤
We can all improve as beautiful beings no one is perfect. Sugestions or thought or ideas are ok as long as your not demanding, comanding, complaining. Just sugest then this mother can eather take it or leave it respectfully as it was respectfully commented. We all have freedom to speak our beliefs its how we doit. Never forse. Dont force because none of us are ever fully right. Every persons life is unique.
I think you’re a brilliant and fierce role model!
You're doing a great job Abbey❤
There’s always going to be negative comments. Some just caring constructive criticism. I guess that’s the hard part about putting yourself out there. I try as a RUclips follower to be positive. I realize you don’t get the whole picture from small videos & who am I to judge. As a mom myself it’s the best & hardest job I’ve ever had. You do you! ❤
i feel like people forget that kids need to clothes shop more than adults. they are constantly growing in and out of items and oh this pair of jeans has holes in them she needs new ones. she doesn’t have older siblings so there aren’t as many hand me downs. also as someone who was super into makeup at young ages from being in dance, at that age it’s basically just fun stuff to put on your face. “omg this makes my lips turn a different color” was pretty much my only thought when i used lipstick i didn’t think it made me look prettier or ugly i was just mesmerized by it. i think you’re doing awesome mama but my obviously opinion doesn’t (nor should it) matter.
Dang it did cut off😢😢 you're a dang good Mom though! You have a wonderful way of thinking and teaching your child. You're definitely one of the few people in this world that should have children ❤
I honestly feel like people nitpick parenting styles way too much. In my opinion, as long as you’re teaching your kids to be kind human beings who respect those around them it doesn’t matter if they swear at home or not. The fact that people feel entitled and cocky enough tell others how to parent is wild.
Also the thing about over compensating because you don’t see your kid all the time is very true. My parents are divorced and the schedule had me seeing my mom and dad seeing me 2 days a week with weekends alternating and both did more of some things than others.
My dad would always make me any type of food I wanted and never said no to dessert. And while looking back it wasn’t super healthy but it was something he could do to make up for the time we didn’t spend together. So I definitely get that a lot.
Hey beautiful momma! Hope you and your daughter are doing amazing! I was just wondering if you had any tips of confidence? 😊have a an amazing day!
Dont ever make excuses for how you parent or what you do or do not buy for your child. You are a great person. You have a great kid. You are doing it right! And I'm a 51 mother of 4!
The thing about swearing is kids are more likely to do it because we make such a big deal out of it being taboo. I directly challenged this once when I taught kindergarten and decided to ignore some girls playing the penis game. They literally ended up asking my why I wasn't getting them in the trouble. They were just attention seeking.
Thank you so much for teaching your daughter not the way the R word which of some people don’t know is a disability slur. It is so incredibly hurtful
