At first glance, Game of Thrones might seem like it doesn’t offer much in the way of parental advice. In fact, some would even say that the parents in the show are mostly horrible people. While that may be true, you can still get some important parenting advice if you watch the show enough times. Anyway, here are 10 parenting lessons you can learn from watching Game of Thrones:
1. A little me time never hurt anyone
Taking care of your family can be a tall order, and if you don’t relax and de-stress once in a while, you’re going to have a harder time taking care of your family. Just make sure not to overdo it okay?
2. Having a baby will make you feel like the night is dark and full of terrors
Having a baby is pretty scary. You’ll want to make sure to always keep your little bundle of joy safe and secure as possible, and it’s totally fine to freak out and get scared of little things. Better safe than sorry right?
3. Kids can drive you absolutely crazy
Kids can really test your patience sometimes. The key is to find an outlet where you can just let go, and after that you can center yourself so you can get back to taking care of your kids.
4. Moms are invincible
Moms take care of the kids, handle all the house stuff, take care of their husband, and then some even find time to work. Moms are just amazing.
