During a challenging cross-country flight, my daughter screamed incessantly, pushing me to my limits as a parent. Faced with the stress of the situation, I found myself breaking every parenting "rule" I had ever committed to. The overwhelming abundance of parenting advice often emphasizes maintaining calm and consistency, but in that cramped airplane cabin, those ideals quickly faded.
As my daughter cried, I resorted to unconventional methods to soothe her. I offered snacks I typically wouldn’t allow, played games on my phone, and even walked the aisles, all in a desperate attempt to bring her comfort. Despite my feelings of inadequacy, a kind stranger approached me afterward, offering words of encouragement. She assured me that I was doing a great job as a mom, which provided a much-needed boost to my confidence.
This experience taught me that parenting is rarely about perfection but rather about adapting to the moment. Sometimes, breaking the rules is necessary to navigate the unpredictable journey of parenthood.
