Band Names for Toddler Parenting Scenarios
Life with a toddler isn’t simple. Life with a toddler in a pandemic is even less simple. On the one hand, my mornings and early afternoons (until naptime…if she settles for her nap) are always quite occupied and I don’t have time to obsess about the mess that is the outside world right now. On the other hand, the Pixies “Where is My Mind?” might as well be the toddler parent’s anthem for these last two months.
In honor of all the parents of 2–6 year-old children out there, parenting in this pandemic, here’s a list of band names for the various scenarios we find ourselves in:
