Frustrations only parents understand
Becoming a parent comes with a lot of joy. It also comes with a lot of frustrations, frustrations only parents can understand. Or maybe grandparents because they too were parents once.
This is all said in jest because I still love being a parent and am very grateful for the opportunity to be a parent.
The 19 Frustrations only parents understand
- Dropping the last clean dummy / pacifier on the garage floor or street.
- Running out of formula when you’ve put half the powder into the perfect amount of water which has been brought to the perfect temperature.
-
Having a Disney song stuck in your head all day.
- Being stuck indoors for a week due to rain or sick kids.
- Not being able to find a parking when you’re already late and you’ve got children screaming in the car demanding the activity you’re late for.
- A dirty nappy just before you get the second child strapped into the car. One in, one out and one dirty nappy.
- Broken tv or dvd when you’ve promised 15 minutes of tv and you need to get the washing out the washing machine.
- Getting to the trike park and realizing you’ve left the helmet or scooter in the garage at home.
- A bottle of expressed milk exploding in a handbag or car seat.
- Lying down for a nap (after you’ve been up all night) and your baby wakes up 1 hour and 50 minutes before she should.
- All the washing being unfolded or cupboards unpacked after you’ve just folded or packed … The second time.
- Sharing a lovely bath with your child only to be vomitted on or pooped on, out of nowhere.
-
The crumbs, all over your house.
- Having your pants pulled down or bra exposed in public while your hands are full .
- Trying to get grandparents on board with your parenting rules.
- When your phone, iPad or computer is washed, flushed or thrown.
- Having food or drink or both spilt all over you on a plane… At the beginning of the flight.
-
Trying to go to the toilet ALONE.
- When they make you want to laugh or smile when they’re meant to be sleeping or you’re in the middle of disciplining them.
