Omg the Montessori toy subscriptions, yes! Those adds chased me for the best part of 6 months. I caved eventually and bought a wooden rainbow wheel from a different seller, for the price of a small car. The wee one loved for a hot second, mostly it led to a major discovery that she loves tiny mirrors (we're in the small narcissist phase) and so now she loves anything that shows her reflection :/
I have to say the one thing I very nearly spent money on (that we didn’t have) was a sleep trainer/consultant. Sleep deprived I was begging anyone who would listen to me to give me advice that would work but there were no answers then and my phone knew it. It knew I was desperate and it kept showing me this beacon of hope over and over. I would have spent anything!!
I enjoyed this! Society puts so much pressure on moms to be perfect. Add social media and you've got a brainwashing machine.
I couldn’t agree with you more! There are fifty thousand rabbit holes you could go down on the quest for perfect parenting.
