Big Sister: Mommy, you know what?
Me: What?
Big Sister: I can’t believe we’re gonna have another baby. Now I’ll have two babies to watch when you go poop. That’s going to be a lot of work.
I confess. I sometimes ask my 3-year-old (she’s almost 4) to look after her little sister while I escape into the bathroom, and, yes, I sometimes take a little longer than need be and flip through a magazine or just zone out. I swear, I didn’t realize how taxing this was on my preschooler. I will put an end to this forced child labor now. Maybe.
HA! Have done this myself. WITH the magazine/book/catalog. Works like a charm until 4-year-old ALSO mysteriously needs to use the bathroom (aint it always the way).
Nice to have the 5 minutes to oneself, though.
That’s awesome! I don’t have a preschooler to leave my baby with…but I do try to leave her with my husband (sometimes acts like a preschooler!). And I definitely take an extra minute to myself!
Oh my goodness, that made me laugh out loud!
You mean there’s something WRONG with that??? :)
You mean there are people who DON’t do this….?? !!
so funny! how taxing for your daughter:)
