A WOMAN has revealed that she is a “lazy mum” and wants to do things the “easy way”.
Liv Johnston, a toddler mum from the UK, explained that she has let her two-year-old daughter eat McDonald’s for dinner, four nights in a row.
The mum-of-one explained that she can’t be bothered to cook, and isn’t ashamed to admit it.
Posting on social media, the content creator shared her ‘lazy parent confession’.
As she unboxed her latest McDonald’s order, she said: “It's no secret that I'm a lazy parent.
“I choose to do things the easy way around.”
Liv confessed that this isn’t the first time she has had McDonald’s this week, as she opened up: “We had one yesterday, we had one the day before, I actually think we had one the day before, I think this is our fourth McDonald's in a row.
“For me I cannot be a***d to cook, so it is easier for me to order a McDonald's then to actually have to get things out and cook.”
Liv explained that particularly when her partner is away, she will do things to make her life that bit easier, as she continued: “Now I'm not ashamed to say that I'm a lazy parent.
“I'm not ashamed to say that I will do things that make my life easier, especially when my husband's not here.

“When it is just me during the day, yes, I will order a McDonald's, yes, I will do it days in a row, until I start to realise that maybe I actually have to cook.”
Whilst wearing a cosy dressing gown, the pink-haired woman claimed that she knows people may disagree with her lifestyle, but she doesn’t see the problem.
As she tucked into some chips, she added: “I don't think there's anything wrong with choosing the easy way sometimes, although a lot of people will probably have a very different opinion to me.
“I know I should definitely cook for once, but can I be bothered? No.
“It is way easier to order myself McDonald's.
