- Have you ever considered that your parenting style is different than other parents? Why?
- A love child? ... An affair? ... A double lifestyle? etc. Maybe it's time to explain to your child(ren) why your parenting style requires you to be more discrete--the best way you can (age appropriate).
- Create family social-media rules for when you are at a social event outside of your unique home style.
- You may want to take an awkward picture or video of your child(ren), and allow it to be a learning tool for discussion of household rules.
