Would You Rather, Parents Version
These are your choices
Unlike the typical ‘Would you rather’ questions you may have discussed during long car trips, this version is more challenging than choosing between chocolate cake or apple pie.
Because it’s about parenthood, where the choices are rarely so simple.
But it’s also more useful than choosing between a hike in the rain and a run in the 100-degree heat.
Because these are scenarios you may one day actually face.
And you don’t have to answer these questions. You just have to identify which kind of choice they represent: a terrible choice, an easy choice, or no choice (just an illusion).
Here we go!
- Would you rather wake up at 6 a.m. on the weekends to stand outside on a cold soccer field or inside an ice rink?
No Choice — you have to do whichever one your partner asks/tells you to do or doesn’t want to do themself.
2. Would you rather be late for your job interview, or show up with breast milk puke on your blouse?
A Terrible Choice — This one’s all about personal preference because your choice doesn’t really matter. Either way, you probably won’t get the job!
