Hey there, fellow parents! We all have those days when we question our parenting skills. You know, those moments when you wonder if you’re completely failing while someone else seems to have it all figured out? I mean, how do they manage to look put together while I’m here in yesterday’s clothes and a mountain of dishes in the sink? But here’s the thing—if you look closely, you’ll see that there are plenty of little wins that show you’re actually doing an awesome job. If you can relate to any of these 20 signs, you’re definitely on the right track!

1. You snagged the last piece of chocolate without your kids noticing—because they don’t need that temptation, right?
2. You discreetly removed the batteries from that super annoying talking toy that just won’t stop.
3. You let PBS run all afternoon. Because who doesn’t love quality programming?
4. Texting, coffee breaks, and a little venting to your partner are your secret weapons for staying sane.
5. Those comfy yoga pants? They somehow make you feel like a powerhouse while tackling chores.
6. Your kid proudly announced their fart in public, then politely said, “Excuse me, Mom!” #winning
7. Your little one is still alive and only complaining a handful of times by bedtime—now that’s a victory!
8. You packed a lunch that was quick and easy, because who has time for fancy bento boxes?
9. You managed to brush your hair, get dressed, and eat something not orange before 8 AM. Congrats!
10. When the toddler threw a fit over dinner, you stood your ground and didn’t cave for chocolate pudding.
11. You’ve kept up with bills, ordered those quirky sneakers, and returned library books on time. Go you!
12. While on the phone with your in-law, your child actually wanted to say hi instead of hiding. Major win!
13. You embraced the chaos and said yes to the kids making a mud pit in the backyard. YOLO, right?
14. Even when your kid was in full meltdown mode about the car seat, you stayed calm like a parenting guru.
15. Your child threw dinner on the floor and then complained about being hungry—and you just rolled with it.
16. Forget the gym; you’ve burned calories chasing kids, doing laundry, and cleaning up toys multiple times!
17. You listened intently for eight whole minutes while your child explained why dinosaurs are the best.
18. This crazy journey of parenting is what you wanted, despite the chaos and challenges. You’re doing it!
19. You’ve spun a million tales about what big kids do to coax your child into doing basic tasks independently.
20. No matter the daily hurdles, you prioritize your kids and always find a way through, even if it’s not perfect.
