As parents, you'll know that sometimes you really have to just pick your battles - be it over vegetables, whether they can have more screen time or what outfit they wear to go to the shops in.
The latter is something one mum knows only too well.
Mum-of-three Jodie, who posts online under @jodiespacagna, has gone viral after sharing the one argument she refuses to have with her toddler.
In an Instagram reel, the parent from Devon explained that her daughter will not wear a coat and she doesn't want to fight with the tot over it.
She posted a clip of her daughter riding on a scooter down the street wearing just a bikini-type top and trousers.

Jodie could be seen walking behind her child, holding her pink coat in the air, to prove she had one in case she needed it.
Text on the video read: "Just so everyone knows I have got a coat for my child, she just prefers to strut around in a bikini top and I ain't arguing with a toddler.
"Ps. It was actually quite warm."
The post was captioned: "Parent life. Some fights are not worth it."
Speaking to The Mirror, Jodie added that she had previously been shamed over her daughter refusing to wear a jacket, with strangers making sarcastic comments and saying she should have one on.
"I have had some sarcastic comments," she said. "One person even said to me once, 'that baby should have a hat on' when she was one year old and again, she refused to wear it."
More than 340,000 people have since watched the mum's video, with it garnering over 13,000 likes and more than 100 comments.
One person replied: "I can relate."
"Standard," agreed a fellow parent.
Another mum wrote: "Defo pick your battles. I do this every time it's dress up dat at nursery. Austin just will not dress up so I take the whole Spider-Man outfit and hang it on his peg, just so everyone knows I didn't forget it, it's that he won't blummin wear it."
Someone else admitted: "I often walk along the road and randomly shout are you sure you don't want your coat?! So that people know I'm offering it and I have one for them with me."
A different user added: "Sums up my life. I want a coat, yeah, but I want you to carry it."
