EVERYONE is different when it comes to their parenting style, but one mum has opened up about the things she does that \u201cgo against the grain\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mum Rachel uploaded a video sharing the \u201cunpopular things\u201d she does as a parent, and it has split opinion<\/span> in the comments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing she swears by, is never saying no to her kids if they are hungry.<\/p>\n

She explained on her @rachonlife account: \u201cThere will never be an instance where I will say \u2018you can wait\u2019 or \u2018not right now\u2019 or \u2018the kitchen\u2019s closed\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can always have something to eat because I\u2019m not going to teach my children to ignore the natural cues of their body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rachel said that she thinks her kids will start being \u201cdeceitful\u201d about eating if they are hungry, because that\u2019s what she did as a child.<\/p>\n

I’m a mum of 12 – getting my kids ready for school is always a challenge<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m a mum & found a perfect back-to-school essential in Home Bargains, it’s so cheap<\/h3>\n

The mum said she will also \u201cnot say no\u201d to her kids if she can help it.<\/p>\n

Rachel added: \u201cUnless there is a legitimate reason to say no, we will be saying yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said this may make her and her husband\u2019s life trickier, but it will help her kids grow into well-rounded people.<\/p>\n

Her next<\/span> parenting strategy is that her kids will never be \u201cin trouble\u201d if they come and tell her they\u2019ve done something bad.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cWe are going to tell our kids if you tell us before we find out, you won\u2019t be in trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be consequences, but you will not be in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, the parents will be honest with their kids about everything they\u2019ve done and \u201call the experiences\u201d they\u2019ve had \u201cin an appropriate delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI don\u2019t want our kids to feel they can\u2019t come to us if they have questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

People were quick to comment, and some took issue with letting her kids eat whenever they want.<\/p>\n

One mum wrote: \u201cAgree with all except the food…my son tried to make popcorn when there was 6 minutes left on dinner. Uh no sir!\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cNo hate but what about when you\u2019re in the process of cooking<\/span> dinner? Would you say just wait x minutes cuz dinners almost ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third said: \u201cThe only one we don\u2019t do is the food thing cuz my kids always choose the ten minutes before dinner is ready to decide they want to eat a snack. Nope.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, many supported her, with one saying: \u201cThis. All of this.\u201d<\/p>\n
