Every day, something happens that reminds me that there are things people with children never have to deal with. Usually it’s funny, but sometimes frustrating. I’m going to keep a running list.
Added 4/27/09:
- You wake up with a hickey on your shoulder blade because the baby thought it would make a good snack sometime during the night. I guess it satisfied her, because she didn’t wake me up!
- You manage to get all 3 kids down to sleep at a decent hour and the only thing you can think of to do is go to bed and go to sleep yourself.
- You decide to cut your hair because you keep finding baby spit-up in it.
Original List:
- You crawl into bed and find a toy car or a board book. Rather than put it up, you just add it to the growing pile of kid’s junk on your nightstand and sigh.
- When you mop your hardwood floors, it takes twice as long because you have to clean up stickers from the floor as you go. (I blame my in-laws for this one. They are always giving the kids stickers.)
- It’s a rare treat to use the restroom without an audience. I can’t even remember the last time I was able to do this without a “helper.” And yet, my most frequent “helper” won’t use the toilet himself. What’s wrong with this picture???
