It's dangerous out there


Ryan just called a sibling whose parenting he particularly admires and asked the following question: "When you become a perfect parent, do you stop hiding from your kids? Because right now, I'm afraid to leave my room because I might encounter one. I'm just wondering, does that end sometime?"

It's been a long Sunday.


Obviously.

Oh we know the feeling... you wish you could hide for days at a time!

I'm so glad to know that other people feel that way about their kids too:) Also I was dying laughing about Faith's cute turkey comment! So funny!

Oh man, Sundays are the worst (when it comes to parenting - not the whole church/Sabbath day thing). Our church is in the middle of the day so none of our boys have naps and I usually tell Dan around dinnertime that I am done with the kids and need to go hide/go to bed before I lose it.

I was hiding under a blanket from Camden after church today...not even joking. Didn't last long, he thought I was playing peek a boo.

Tell Ryan there's another parental coward out there, because I hid from my kids today from 4:00-8:00pm. Awesome.

Dear Ryan,
I know, right? Nothing strikes fear in my heart like encountering my kids (usually over tired but still wound up) after a long Sunday.

Sometimes I sit in the minivan to clear my head. They always find me, though. They are light heat seeking missles, or something.

I heard a joke once, "I have baby proofed my whole house...but they keep finding a way back in."

Since you guys are parents I particularly admire, I am relived to know that I'm not the only one who has felt this way!

Rochelleht said...

Pretty sure I'd be making that call to you guys!

Yesterday I was watching a little girl (who you think comes from a perfect family) throw a fit and it made me SO HAPPY. I'm kinda feeling the same way right now. I'm sorry you've had a rough day, but so happy that even "perfect" parents like you, hide too!

Does this sibling have a blog? That would be good reading material. If Ryan could learn a thing or two from them, I'm sure I could learn a million!

Can you ask the sib if its ok to want to hide for weeks at a time?
Thanks.

We all have that feeling!! Somedays can be so wonderful and then others... um not so much! Hang in there Ryan and hope they don't find you for a few :)
