Parenting taught me that discipline is everything—if you don't set boundaries, someone else will. You learn, grow, and adapt. 🤷🏻♀️ #ParentLife #LifeLessons

Thats not no dam hack. The point of a playpen is to keep them enclosed so they can play and sleep and not get out. You could have bought a tent for that shit you just did
Wow calling someone kid fat😲wtf man. This just pissed me off. Great job mama🥰She is beautiful
They sell what your making for $10
You overfeed your kid
lose the stupid soundtrack
good job mom 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
make it fun to go to sleep works for me
...how to ruin a perfectly good playpen in no time...you could have made a tent with a couple of chairs...how incredibly ignorant...
mom killed
My kids have been grown for a while. I never knew such tricks. I'll just do them when I'm a grandma. 😂🥰
Great idea
love this mom 👩
Cute idea…….
Great, I love it. Way to go, momma 👏
Repurposing a playpen 💯🔥
that was genius
Everyone here knows women don’t come up with ideas like this. Good job Dad.
I know that shit is uncomfortable as a bed, a lounge is different
That would work good for pets too
great idea
Is it me or does it look like a dog is supposed to go in that thing instead of a child? Lol
put your husband's tools back before you ruin them.
you just made her the happiest little girl in the world🥰
FANTASTIC IDEA🥰
She’s a kid! It’s about the BED‼️‼️‼️
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🌸🌸🌸🌸💖💖💖💖💖

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Such a cutie- that lil hand clap says it all-- good job mom
So cool
pool noodles work better
Why not turn it on its side ?
Thats a great idea!!!
This was surprisingly worth watching the WHOLE video.🤔
for all the comments talking about the baby weight there's nothing wrong with a chunky baby she'll grow out of it
Omg shit it should’ve saved my daughters crib like that.
🥰
Creative and supercute!!
needs a diaper change looks heavy
that's one fat 2-year-old can't lift her over the top can you ,throw a toilet in there and the food she won't have to get up for anything
That baby is to damn big… I hate when parents destroy their kids like that
