What’s the Craziest Thing You’ve Done For Your Child + #TheHouseMovie Giveaway #AD


What's the Craziest Thing You've Done For Your Child

This post is in partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures

I am all for a good comedy. I don’t know if you’ve seen the previews for the new Warner Bros. movie, THE HOUSE (I’ve got it below if you haven’t—in theaters June 30th), but it looks hilarious. While watching the trailer myself, I burst out laughing hysterically a few times because I could relate. You could say I can identify with Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler’s characters because some say I’ve done something crazy for my child, too.

Let me explain.

My twenty-three year-old son who now lives in Los Angeles first announced he wanted to move to La La Land during his senior year of high school. I always thought he would graduate and attend a college nearby, but he told us of his plans and didn’t waiver a bit.

My son never visited Los Angeles or had been to the west coast, so this was a sudden thing for me to get my mind around. But you know what? I let him go. I helped him pack, paid for his plane ticket, gave him money to get settled, and then prayed that I did the right thing.

So many of my friends and family members thought I was crazy for “allowing” him to move across the country without knowing anyone. He was eighteen, a full-fledged adult, and I could risk our relationship by trying to stop him or I could do what I could to support his dreams.

Four years later, my son is still living in Los Angeles, working and auditioning, and living a pretty good life. It has worked out, and I guess I wasn’t so crazy after all!

As parents, we may do some crazy things for our kids, but it is all out of love.

Now my crazy thing wasn’t as crazy as the parents in THE HOUSE, but it could’ve ended differently.

To celebrate the release of THE HOUSE, I am giving away $50 Visa gift card for you to have a ‘wild Parents night out at the movies’ with THE HOUSE.

To enter to win, leave a comment below about a crazy thing you’ve done as a parent. One (1) winner will be selected randomly to win the gift card. Giveaway open to U.S. residents only, void where prohibited. Make sure when leaving a Facebook or regular comment that you leave your email address so we can contact you should you win.

This giveaway ends Wednesday, June 28th at 7pm CST.

See the trailer to THE HOUSE below:

THE HOUSE synopsis:

After Scott and Kate Johansen (Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) lose their daughter Alex’s college fund, they become desperate to earn it back so she can pursue her dream of attending a university.  With the help of their neighbor Frank (Jason Mantzoukas), they decide to start an illegal casino in his house.

The comedy “The House” also stars Nick Kroll (“Vacation,” TV’s “Kroll Show”), Allison Tolman (TV’s “Fargo”), Michaela Watkins (TV’s “Transparent”), Ryan Simpkins (“Arcadia”), Jessie Ennis (TV’s “Veep” and “Better Call Saul”), Rob Huebel (“Horrible Bosses 2,” TV’s “Transparent”), Cedric Yarbrough (TV’s “Reno 911!”) and Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner (“The Town,” “The Hurt Locker,” “Arrival”).

Rated R

    Teaching a tween to sew, but she wanted to start on something too hard. A little “elf” would take it apart each night and re-do everything so it came out OK! And she never knew!

    Taking my daughter to see horses was probably the craziest thing since I’m horribly allergic to them.

    The craziest thing I have done is cheering like a Crazy person in the field for my kids. I had no idea how loud it was until I saw the video my husband shot.

    This week I dyed my six year old’s hair pink because it made her happy. Over the moon blissfully happy. Others would call that crazy. Really me having my kids was pretty crazy. I have fertility problems and all 3 were high risk pregnancies that landed me in the hospital. I had over 50 ultrasounds between them. Crazy is knowing as a couple (my husband and I) that I could die keeping them healthy and safe and being okay with it. A parent’s love will make the impossible possible. It is our greatest gift to our children.

    My daughter had a very bad break up with her high school boyfriend, and she could not seem to get passed it. I tried talking to her like a responsible parent and explain that “this to shall pass.” After grieving for weeks, I decided the best way to get him out of her system, was to cause him some public humiliation. My daughter and I tee-pee-ed his house! It made my daughter feel better instantly.

    I’ve had to go to a classmates of his parents to discuss the bullying that’s was going on. He was in elementary school and her son was tormenting my son for no reason. Now I wasn’t crazy or rude to her and we were able to work out a solution thankfully.

    A crazy thing I have done as a parent? I took my daughters trick or treating one year when it was freeeeeeezing outside. They wanted to go so badly and had looked forward to it for months so we bundled up and and went for a good couple hours. It was so cold but worth the smile on their faces.

    I was telling my daughter one time that some people who fell on hard times were buying pet food not for a pet but to eat themselves. She didn’t believe people would or could eat pet food. To prove my point I bought some and ate a little bit, to show her pet food can be eaten by people.
