Alright, but the POSSIBILITY that they might use the scooter instead of wanting to be carried does even this out, doesn't it? (at least that's what I told my husband when we were on a walk with our twins' new scooters. But they were very comfortable to be carried on my shoulders!)

This is why i got rid of all the toys that could make a sound. At least i took out the batteries 😅

How'd she manage to pull that off!? I can't even open a roll of toilet paper without kids coming out of the woodwork!

Try having twin toddlers... One's sick, the other not, then you have to pick up the second one early with a fever, then they get better, then your husband is sick for double the time (even though you're the one the sick children were sticking to like poo on a shoe), then you work for 2 days, then you're sick yourself, think "yeah, some time to myself!" - and on day 2 of your sick leave, you've got to pick up twin 1 from daycare with diarrhoea... They say it gets better when the children are older, please, for the love of god, tell me that's true?!

I used to have a travel mug that held an entire carafe of coffee. When I got to daycare, I'd brew a pot, and take it with me to the toddler room. It would stay hot all day, and it kept me going all day, too. A couple of the older ones learned to say coffee.

No "glasses held together by pure strength of will after another head bump to your nose"? No "C-section scar used as a ballet stage"? No "neck that's been used as a trampoline over night"?

there is nothing better than a sharp kitchen knife

Then you have to wash the blanket after every meal to keep things sanitary. Also imagine small sticky child hands all over your food. Silverware can be a blessing....even if you are always washing them.

Or the gulit tripping. Me: Since you did not eat your dinner you cant have dessert. You can have bread later, but no dessert.....Small child: I guess I'll never eat again....Me: That's not what I said. I have discovered my 6 year old likes to be dramatic.

Or the last diaper change, last time breastfeeding, last time tying thier shoes.

Yes.

The hubby is certainly guilty of this too. Maybe that's one of the reasons why they say boys never really grow up.

Oh gosh that was me yesterday haha

Upvote for the title!

A day off as a mum? Where can I sign?

oh easy, you put the sand in your shoes instead of using the perfectly good bucket in front of you!

I love watching Disney/Pixar movies with my stepdaughter. BUT she is kind of a TV-zombie, mouth open, no visible reaction - and once in a while (sometimes even during the opening music) she turns to me and my husband, sees us crying (think "Up") and says "do you think that's sad?" and we're like "*sob* just a tad... *sobs even harder*".

Yup, add a baby in a baby pouch too.

🤣 the last one!

Homeschooling has a few different supplies and some the same.

Try eating with a squirming baby on your lap crying because he wants to be walked and you are sitting for five minutes.

Try "changing your sheets and somehow over-fluffing your pillow, even though it's the same pillow, in the same position, and now you've got neck pains radiating up and down your spine"...

I love "breakfast in bed" print

Yep, all 20 of them. And after having already done so earlier in the day, to which they get redistributed around the house during the hour before bedtime.

We've got a "no more than 5 plushies to a bed" rule... But my stepdaughter (6) has a huge teddy bear who regularly wears her t-shirts, and I'm glad she doesn't have 5 of those...

1st is self succient no, 2nd still in diapers.

Yes or when baby brother falls. Yells I didn't do it and covers his ears from the crying

When teaching children to read you kinda get numb to the repetitive rhymes.

no, it's gone, and impatience is a fight against the kids. which feel the same way eventually. **the monopoly experience**
