Greetings, Parents! Your little ones are delightful, and I genuinely enjoy being an aunt to your kids. However, as someone without children, I hope to share a few realities of my life that might sometimes be overlooked. Here’s a brief overview of five aspects of my life that differ from yours, at least for the time being.
1. Lazy Weekend Mornings
Please refrain from reaching out at the crack of dawn on Saturdays, eager to catch up during your rare free moment. I understand that your little one might have disrupted your sleep, but I cherish my weekends for sleeping in.
2. Uninterrupted Conversations
When we finally connect, I deeply appreciate it. However, if you find yourself sidetracked multiple times by your child’s needs during our 15-minute call, I may lose track of our conversation. It would be great to schedule a proper catch-up session—perhaps brunch next month?
3. A Fragile Coffee Table
Yes, that’s a delicate antique vase on my coffee table, and I’m quite fond of it. When you visit (which I genuinely love), I might seem overly protective of my belongings. This isn’t a reflection of my feelings toward your child but rather my appreciation for my possessions. I do keep some toys around to ensure a pleasant visit for both of you.
4. Adult Language and Topics
I apologize if my language sometimes offends. Yes, I might slip and use strong language around your child, but I assure you it’s unintentional. Kids are exposed to various words outside of my home, so please don’t judge too harshly.
5. My Active Love Life
While I know you’re managing your intimate life in a new way, I still have my own experiences to discuss. I completely understand the challenges you face, but I hope I can still share my stories without it feeling inappropriate.
This insight may come off as tough love, but it is rooted in friendship. If you’re looking for some child-free time, feel free to arrange a babysitting session with me—I’ll ensure the delicate vase is safely stored away.
