A Few More Things I’ve Decided to Stop Caring About (And You Should Too)
Last night, I had what I’d call a “minor meltdown.” You know the type: irrational yelling, a sprinkle of curse words, and an end scene where I locked myself in the bathroom with my phone and a box of cookies. It was one of those moments!
Now, I could ramble on about the triggers of this little episode, but it all boiled down to a misallocation of my “fucks to give.” Seriously, there’s a limit to how many fucks we have in reserve. If we spread ourselves too thin, we end up empty—screaming, crying, and hiding in the bathroom with snacks or a big ol’ glass of wine.
Every now and then, it’s crucial to reassess our fucks-giving budget. Embracing the IDGAF attitude is an art form, and sometimes you just need to tidy up your emotional inventory. After all, no one wants to spend too much time holed up with cookies and wine!
I’ve shared some of my IDGAF resolutions before, but here are a few more things I’m choosing not to care about:
Hiding in the Bathroom for a Cookie Binge
It takes effort to keep your cool. Sometimes, a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do—like polishing off a sleeve of Oreos or supporting the local Girl Scouts. Let’s not judge!
Letting it All Out
I try to be the laid-back type, breathing deeply and letting things slide. But some days are just epic shitstorms of irritation. When that happens, you’ve got to let loose! There’s nothing wrong with an occasional dramatic outburst, and I’m done feeling guilty about it.
Speaking My Truth
I’m a self-proclaimed people-pleaser who wants everyone to be happy and get along. But sometimes, you have to unleash your inner badass and express your opinions. And let me tell you, it feels liberating!
Social Media Nonsense
The online world can feel like a toxic wasteland these days. With all the humblebrags and negativity, I sometimes think I need a Hazmat suit to log in. Thank goodness for the unfriend and unfollow buttons—they’re essential for maintaining my IDGAF mindset.
Swearing Like a Sailor
I’m unapologetically sweary. It’s part of my identity! Telling me to “talk like a lady” will only get you an eye roll and maybe a middle finger. Seriously, there are worse things than a well-timed F-bomb.
Laundry
You win, laundry. I’m done trying to fight you.
Messy Kids’ Rooms
As a wannabe minimalist, I try to ignore the clutter until I snap. But hey, I can just close the door and pretend it’s not a disaster zone in there!
PTA Responsibilities
I volunteer for a ton of causes, but being a PTA mom is just not my thing. I’m already the president-elect of my church board, and that’s enough, thank you very much!
Chin Hairs
I’ve accepted my wrinkles and occasional breakouts, but chin hairs? Those are a new challenge. Instead of stressing about them, I carry tweezers for emergencies. If I can’t manage to pluck them right away, at least I can stroke them while plotting my world domination.
Being a Cool Mom
Keeping up with the latest trends is exhausting. I’m still trying to figure out what “bae” means, and the youth slang? Forget it!
Perfection is Boring
Let’s face it: perfection is overrated. That’s why I’m embracing my IDGAF mindset.

Summary:
In a lighthearted reflection, I share several aspects of daily life I’ve decided to stop worrying about. From the chaos of motherhood to the messiness of social media, embracing an IDGAF attitude can be liberating. Sometimes, you just need to let it all out and stop caring about perfection.
