I Don't Have a Favorite Child. I Have a Least Terrible One. – Veteran Dad Shirt Idea

, 1 min reading time

Military precision applied to parenting. Results vary.

Parenting after the military hits different.

In the military there were rules. Standards. Clear consequences for failure to meet those standards. Everything had a place. Everything happened on schedule. Nobody left their gear on the floor of the barracks or they'd be doing pushups until further notice.

Then you have kids.

Kids do not respond to the command voice. Kids negotiate. Kids ask "why" seventeen times in a row. Kids put juice on the couch on purpose while making direct eye contact with you.

Veterans try to run the household like a unit. Inspection-ready rooms. 0600 wake up. No excuses.

Instead they end up sleeping on the edge of the bed while the toddler starfishes in the middle, eating cold nuggets for dinner, and declaring the least chaotic child their personal favorite on a rotating basis.

This shirt idea is for every veteran parent who is winning AND losing simultaneously.
