Ican’t recall a time in my life when I would have been labeled as “well-behaved.” Even as a kid, I just loved to get myself into unnecessary trouble. Let me elaborate: From the ages of 14 to 21, I was truly every mother’s worst nightmare. I can admit it now because I’m an adult, mother and a responsible human being.

At just shy of two years old, my son does not have a large enough vocabulary to express all the things he wants to express. He’s getting there and, as my fellow parents know, it’s super-cute and exciting to watch him learn and apply new words to his ever-growing vocabulary. So, I’m posing questions he’s not ready to answer, pointing out things in the room that he doesn’t recognize, and introducing new concepts on the regular. One of those concepts is apologizing and, as a mom who makes plenty of mistakes, I’ve given my son plenty of opportunities to understand…

Another member noticed the graphic that accompanied the post and thought it deserved to be shared on the r/anticonsumption forum. Unsurprisingly, other users were also outraged…
