As a parent, you know that it's an endless battle to keep our children clean and happy - most often, those things don't happen at the same time. Put a kid in clean, soapy water and they scream in agony over the injustice of having to take a bath. But, put a kid in a mud puddle and they scream with delight.

This mom decided to just let her little boy have a ball in this giant mud puddle - after all, dirt don't hurt!

Besides, with all the fun he's having, he'll be too tired to fight her when it comes to tub time!

What do you think? Is she crazy for doing this - or a great mom?
