If you could safely ignore one parenting rule, what would it be?

good vibes, smiles, & giggles

If you could pick one rule to ignore and your children would be safe and happy, what rule would it be? Like ignoring the safe sleep rule and putting baby on her tummy or ignoring the container rules and leaving jumping loving baby in a jumper all day.

I’ll go first. I would just love if I could leave my sleeping babies in poopy nappies! They both poo in their sleep and if I leave to too long (never intentional, like if I sleep through and don’t know) they both get horrible diaper rash. If hear/smell it and they’re asleep, I just know I’m going to wake them up and I hate it! Instead of two sleeping babies I then get two screaming babies. Ask me about last night 🙃😅

This is hypothetical! I’m not promoting anyone ignoring these safety / developmental rule. I just want to know which ones we hate the most
