Parenting is a wild ride, and few are brave enough to admit just how daunting it can be. Mila Kunis recently shared her candid experiences with parenting mishaps that struck fear into her heart. Speaking with Babble, she recounted a nerve-wracking moment during a road trip to visit her husband, Jake.

“It was my first solo drive with the baby, and I thought I had everything prepared,” Kunis confessed. “I packed all the essentials, ready for any disaster that could come my way. I was feeling pretty proud of myself as I hit the road.” She felt like a rockstar, cruising down the highway, until she glanced in the rearview mirror.

What she saw left her in utter shock: her little one was cheerful, but shockingly unbuckled in her car seat. “I just thought, ‘Oh my God, I forgot the most important step!’” Kunis exclaimed, recalling the cold wave of panic that washed over her. “I was on the highway, and there was my baby, totally unstrapped. I turned pale!”

If you’re a parent, you probably relate to this feeling. Maybe it wasn’t a car seat, but we’ve all had those moments that make you wonder, “How am I going to keep this child alive?” I remember when my firstborn was just two days old, the pediatrician made a point to warn me about the perils of co-sleeping. “Just don’t do it; terrible things can happen,” she said. That moment hit me hard, introducing me to the real fears of motherhood.

We can easily overlook the little details, which is why parenting has us all on high alert. I once had my car’s airbag replaced, and for some unknown reason, the mechanics unbuckled my toddler’s car seat while working. It wasn’t until days later, as I was strapping her in, that I realized the seat was loose. For four days, I had been driving around without it secured!

Kunis shared another relatable story: “A few weeks ago, I went to get my daughter, and my husband had put her in. I opened the door, and she was unstrapped again. Thank goodness it wasn’t just me!” It’s a reminder that these blunders can happen to anyone, no matter how prepared you think you are.
