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."
WAY TOO FUNNY.....and way too TRUE!!!
Ha!
Husbands!
Oh man, what's up with Sundays? For sure been there!
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!
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 :)
I didn't get that phone call!! I thought I was the parent he admired?
