After a long day at work, I often come home to the delightful chaos of parenting. While I love my little one, let’s face it—working moms have to find humor in the madness. So, here are 20 reasons why I appreciate my boss at the office far more than my tiny tyrant at home:
- My boss doesn’t want to perch on my lap while I’m trying to use the bathroom.
- My boss never uses my clothing as a tissue for his nose.
- When I pull out paperwork, my boss doesn’t rush in with crayons, demanding to “help” me.
- Lunchtime at the office is serene since my boss doesn’t hurl food or snatch my fries.
- I don’t have to wrestle with my boss during meltdowns, nor do I need to sing “The Wheels on the Bus” repeatedly just to soothe him.
- I actually accomplish tasks at work because my boss doesn’t incessantly beg to watch cat videos on YouTube as soon as I sit down!
- I get a paycheck from my boss, while my toddler thinks everything is “MINE!”
- Afternoons are much more peaceful at work, as my boss doesn’t resist naptime.
- The office is a safer environment; my boss doesn’t bite, pinch, or kick.
- I am grateful my boss doesn’t run around wearing just his underwear and a cape.
- My boss keeps his bodily functions to himself; there are no pre-announced farts or giggly burps.
- I rarely need to remind my boss to use an indoor voice.
- My toddler insists on being completely naked to use the toilet, but my boss doesn’t share this quirk—thank goodness!
- Our office is surrounded by pretty hedges, and my boss doesn’t feel the need to “water” them like my toddler does with every plant he sees.
- Getting into the car with my boss is a breeze; he can buckle his own seatbelt. Strapping my toddler in is like trying to catch a slippery fish!
- My boss doesn’t hide behind my legs when meeting new people, avoiding that awkward “peek-a-boo” game entirely.
- I can go through an entire workday without hearing anyone complain about their itchy butt—unlike at home!
- My boss doesn’t stomp his foot and demand to do everything himself, although I won’t lie, a little independence would sometimes be refreshing.
- It’s impressive how my boss puts his shoes on the right feet the first time—wish I could say the same about my toddler!
- After years of working in the same place, I have never heard the high-pitched, desperate call for help that I hear at home, like “All done, come and wiiiiipe me!” That’s a true sign of success in Corporate America.
And there you have it! While I cherish every moment with my toddler, I can’t help but find my boss much easier to deal with in many ways.
