Dear Kids,
As parents, we often focus on teaching you essential safety lessons—like looking both ways before crossing the street or avoiding hot pans and strange animals. However, amidst all that, we sometimes forget to impart some equally important life lessons. While they might not seem as urgent, these insights are vital for your happiness and well-being. So here’s a little parental wisdom that you might be missing out on.
1. Embrace Naptime.
Contrary to your beliefs, naps are not something to resist; they’re a treasure! When someone suggests you snuggle into your cozy bed in the middle of the day and drift off to sleep, you should jump at the chance. Naps are a gift. They’re like finding a hidden stash of candy. Once you realize that guilt-free, daily naps are a luxury, I hope you’ll approach the phrase “Let’s take a nap!” with a little more enthusiasm instead of the dramatic flair of a tragedy.
2. Personal Hygiene Matters.
I know you sometimes put up a fierce battle when I attempt to trim your hair or coax you into the tub. But let me tell you, these are not just chores; they’re services you’re getting for free! You have your own stylist and personal groomer at your disposal—me! So sit back and enjoy the pampering while it lasts. It might be a while before you have to pay for these kinds of services yourself.
3. Laundry is a Magical Process.
In your eyes, laundry seems almost enchanted. You toss your dirty clothes anywhere and poof! They magically return clean and folded. Just know that many people spend hours doing laundry, so appreciate that you have someone to handle it for you. And, on top of that, you have a personal wardrobe consultant who picks out your outfits. You don’t even have to think about coordinating your clothes—just put them on and look fabulous!
4. You Have a Personal Chef.
Think about it: You never have to worry about meal planning or grocery shopping. You simply sit down at the table and find a meal prepared for you. I’m the one who makes sure your food is at the right temperature and edible. So, next time you complain about what’s on your plate, remember that many people would love to have someone cooking for them.
5. Transportation is a Breeze.
Do you realize how lucky you are not to worry about traffic or parking? You get to chill in the back seat while someone else drives you around. You can listen to music, play games, or even nap without a care in the world! The next time you hop in the car, remember that you’re not just a passenger; you’re living the dream that many adults wish they could have again.
I hope you take a moment to appreciate these simple luxuries that surround you. You have a maid, chef, chauffeur, and stylist all rolled into one. Don’t let these benefits slip through your fingers without acknowledgment. Enjoy them while you can—you won’t always have me around to do it all for you!
