Parenting can be so hard. We try and do so much with our days; from housework, work, helping with homework, cooking and entertaining our children whilst trying to keep any shreds of sanity we have left intact. Not forgetting to try and fit in the all important 'me' time. Children are exhausting. I feel like my two boys are on the go constantly. They are always needing to be fed with snacks and then instantly burning them off by running around as superheros fighting each other and saving the world. But we wouldn't change the parenting lifestyle or our babies for the world, right? Still, a Mum can daydream and below are a list of the things I wish I could say as a parent- but I won't be holding my breathe anytime soon!
1. My children got up and dressed by themselves, leaving me to have a peaceful coffee and to get myself ready without any protests today.
2. We got to school with zilch complaining and they were so excited about the day ahead. They even gave me a big cuddle and said they would miss me.
3. The children played and shared so nicely together. They even tidied up all of their toys after, I didn't even have to ask.
4. I really needed some time to myself earlier, reading a book, so the children occupied themselves with a puzzle on the floor in front of me and I enjoyed a nice hot cup of tea.
5. Did you know Netflix has taken 'Caillou' off?
6. My Son did his homework and reading so quickly today. He really enjoys doing it, so there is hardly any fuss made. The teachers set such fun activities to do that it hardly feels like a chore.
7. I only had to make one healthy hearty dinner for everyone tonight and it went down well without any waste.
8. They've made a law in which all toys now have to have volume controls and off switches. Plus batteries are now half the price they used to be!
9. Compare the Market have made a section for toys, now it's even easier to grab a bargain for your Child's birthday or Christmas.
10. The school are now providing the school uniform for free- no more worrying about replacing those school trousers every time there's a hole in the knee. As for those school shoes, Clarkes have decided to come down in price.
11. Toilet training really is no fuss. My Son doesn't have accidents, he doesn't even need help wiping his bum!
12. They've invented a low calorie chocolate bar that tastes just as good as Galaxy.
What do you wish you could say as a parent? Are there parts of parenting that you find harder than others? Pop a comment below, I would love to hear from you!
