My Kid Deserved It (Probably) – 9 times out of 10, he more than likely did.
A Real Mother’s Blog: Healing, Humor, & probably some hiding in the pantry or bathroom…

Welcome in.

If you were looking for a Pinterest-perfect parenting blog, you took a wrong turn.

This is for the parents who hide in the pantry, the survivors who still flinch, the quiet ones who scream inside, the ones who love their kids so much it hurts & still feel like they are getting it wrong.

I am K. I write about grief, glitter, trauma, mothering, millennial mess, & the soft parts we were told to shut up about. You do not have to be okay to be here. You just have to be honest.

Anywho, Welcome to the Breakdown 2K25 Edition.
