Can you recall a moment in your parenthood journey where you were completely clueless on what to do next? Let’s be real here. We all have. Whether you had to scour through the What To Expect books, turned to Google, called your own mom or even had a minor (or major) panic attack, we’ve all been at a point where parenting was just plain tough.
Luckily, Dr. Smith’s® has one thing covered for us and that’s your baby’s adorable bum! Dr. Smith’s knows that parenting is tough enough, and diaper rash should be one less stress. From overwhelming decisions, tantrums and diaper blowouts, to the delicate balance of work and family, Dr. Smith’s understands what today’s parents are going through. Because they are committed to supporting the needs of parents, they recently kicked off a survey of more than 350 parents from all over the U.S. The results were surprising.
- More than 68% of parents have felt overwhelmed by their role as a parent in the last 30 days.
- 71% of parents rely on the support of a partner to address tough parenting struggles, while 35% look to their friends and extended family for support.
Does this ring true for you? Though we all come from different backgrounds and family experiences – the journey of parenting is one that unites us.

I’ve struggled with getting my kids to sleep.
One of our struggles is getting the little one to bed. Everyday its a struggle.
One struggle Ive faced is having a strong willed child that doesn’t like to sleep
Well, I am a Nana to 8 and my youngest daughter is in college. I am struggling right now with letting her go! It is so hard. I struggle when I have a new grandchild (which I am expecting in February) to keep my mouth shut and not give unwanted advice! 🙂
One struggle we faced with my grandson was finding the right formula. He was throwing up and not putting on weight.
Right now my biggest parenting struggle is sleep. My little guy wakes up constantly and he is running us thin!
Having fun on the hard days
My parenting struggle is trying to manage everything as a single mom with two small ones.
Thanks for the opportunity, dr smith’s products are amazing!
As a parent i struggle keeping my cool. We have 4 kids ages 6years to 7weeks. Someone is either crying or breaking something
i struggle with knowing what to do when my kids disobey
Incorporating veggies into meals! My kids are so picky!
I struggle with the tantrums my toddler has and I’m hoping as he learns to communicate better the tantrums will get better! Ugh!
I’m currently facing the struggle of potty training a 3 year old and fussing to get his way.
Keep in up with potty training.
I struggle to keep it together all day and focus the “must do” while letting the “nice to do” go.
One parenting struggle(out of the many) that I have encountered is trying to discipline my 3 yr old but being scared to turn into my mother in that area so i continue to talk and try and bribe her to act better sometimes instead of misbehaving and doing as she pleases.
I’m struggling with getting my 6 month old to sleep longer at night.
My struggle is being able to say no to my kids
My son and daughter were pretty good kids, but the smarting off and being mouthy is what I had a problem with when they were little. They did not seem to listen to me!
My parenting struggle, and I have many, has been not worrying so much about keeping a clean house so I can be with the little ones more!
Appropriate and consistent discipline is always my struggle.
My current parenting struggle is dealing w/ a picky eater! It probably frustrates me more than it should 🙂
My struggle is bedtime! Never on time and its a big struggle.
My struggle is keeping the house clean, which take a much lower priority than QT with my boys.
My struggle with my daughter and grandchildren is letting them get away with too much and they kind of take advantage of that sometimes.
My biggest struggle is being in tune with my sensitive child and making sure he feels listened to and understood.
Threenagers are definitely a struggle!
I hear ya. I have (3) teenagera in college and (1) lil one who just started kindergarten. Sometimes it’s hard keeping the more grown up stuff away from the littlest. Then they’res times where the lil one gets whiney or upset and I ha e to yell at the others for acting like its nothing they ever did.
I’ve struggled with many things. The main one tho was getting a good sleeping schedule!
people watching my kids is parent struggle
One struggle that I faced with is not knowing when to say no
My daughter had reflux as a infant. It was so tough, but we overcame it with the help from doctors. I’m now due with baby #2 in December and hoping everything goes smoothly!
Trying to be patient and not resort to yelling unless it’s a safety issue.
Disciplining my kids in a loving way and also teaching them not to be scared to try new things.
My parenting struggle: my picky eaters! So hard to eat them to eat what is good for them 🙂
