The cruelest parenting joke ever?? DLS. 😑😑😑

If you found this page while panic-searching for ways to get a toddler to sleep during the spring time change, I am so sorry. Take a deep breath. You are in the right place. This video is just me sitting in my parked car in front of my house. I was hiding out for a few minutes of absolute silence before facing the wrath of my sleep-deprived children to complain about the sheer absurdity of Daylight Saving Time.

My honest verdict on the whole spring forward concept is that it was definitely invented by someone who never had to negotiate with a cranky preschooler at dawn. We lose an hour of sleep, and our kids completely lose their minds.

If you look closely over my left shoulder, you can see the empty car seat. One specific detail I notice every time I watch this back is the bright pink sticky hand toy permanently fused to the plastic cup holder. I still have not managed to scrape that thing off. It feels like a fitting metaphor for how stuck parents feel every single March.

The audience reaction to this one was interesting. It only got a few hundred views because the algorithm clearly decided my exhausted car rant was not viral material. But the people who did see it engaged heavily. The comments were just pure solidarity from other moms running on cold coffee. We all needed to acknowledge that changing the clocks is basically a systemic prank on parents.
