As a parent of a toddler who is nearing the age of two, I can say that these little ones can be quite challenging companions. While many parents express the difficulties of apologizing to their children, let me share the list of apologies I would love to hear from my toddler, who may not yet comprehend the impact of her actions but certainly owes me a few.
- I apologize for taking a few bites from three bananas and hiding them under the rocking chair. That was inconsiderate and really didn’t respect our grocery expenses. I hope you can still help fund my college education.
- Remember when I thought it would be funny to pour water on Mom’s new laptop? That was a pretty inconsiderate move, and I realize now that water does not belong there. I hope you can forgive my mistake.
- I’m sorry for the impact my behavior has had on your personal life.
- Last month, when I had an accident in the tub and then decided to explore the plunger with my mouth… that was definitely over the line. I can only imagine how frustrating that was for you, trying to manage everything while dealing with my mess. I promise I’ll start using the toilet from now on.
- I apologize for wearing your underwear on my head while the neighbors delivered a quiche. That was embarrassing for both of us, and now everyone probably knows about your worn-out boxers.
- I realize that when I see a Popsicle, I tend to scream and turn bright red. That must be extremely annoying. I’m going to work on expressing my desire more politely.
- Sometimes, I leave suspicious stains on your jeans when I wipe my nose on them. I’m sorry, and I promise to use a tissue moving forward.
- I vow to never remove my pants in public again.
- The next time you sit down on the couch, I promise not to jump on you. I just get a bit excited, which might explain why we don’t have a younger sibling.
- Remember that time I thought it would be hilarious to toss your wallet in the trash? It seemed like a good idea then, but I recognize it was wrong. I owe you a drink for that one.
- I can’t believe I kept you awake all night because I couldn’t settle down. That was rude of me, especially since you had work and Mom had school. I sincerely apologize for my behavior.
- I’m sorry for the incident when I accidentally vomited in your mouth.
- About that time I broke your glasses with a toy saw, causing you to go without them for over a week while Mom had to drive you around? That was not my best moment, and I see now it was inconsiderate.
- I’m not sure I can completely stop having accidents, but I promise to cooperate better during diaper changes. I’ll try to refrain from crying and squirming around.
- I will make a commitment to never poke you in the eye when you try to give me a hug. I really do love you, Dad.
