Dear Little Ones,
As your parent, my daily mission often revolves around teaching you to navigate the world safely—like looking both ways before crossing the street, avoiding hot pans, and steering clear of stray cats. Yet, in the midst of all this, I realize there are some essential lessons I’ve unintentionally glossed over. These are not life-threatening matters, but they are crucial to your happiness and well-being. So, here’s a friendly reminder of some things you might want to consider:
1. Naps Are Your Friends
Contrary to your protests, naptime is not a punishment; it’s a gift! When someone suggests you cozy up in your comfy bed and snooze, for goodness’ sake, take that chance! You’re missing out on the joy of guilt-free naps, which are a treasure, not a tragedy. Once you realize this, maybe meltdowns over naptime will be a thing of the past.
2. Hygiene is Key
I get it; you may not appreciate my attempts to trim your hair or clip your nails. But remember—those are services people actually pay for! You have a personal stylist at your beck and call, and it’s free! So why not relax and enjoy the pampering instead of treating it like a chore?
3. Laundry is Sorcery
In your eyes, laundry must seem like magic. You toss dirty clothes into the hamper, and somehow they reappear clean and folded. Trust me, this is an incredible convenience that many people would love to have. Take a moment to appreciate the effort that goes into keeping your wardrobe fresh and ready to wear.
4. You Have a Personal Chef
Let’s face it; you don’t have to stress over meal planning or grocery shopping. You sit down, and voilà! There’s a meal ready for you. I even make sure it’s at the right temperature for you to eat. Next time you’re picking out “yucky pieces,” remember that someone is working hard to provide you with nourishing food.
5. Transportation is a Breeze
Think about it—when was the last time you had to deal with traffic or search for parking? That’s right, you haven’t! While you lounge in the backseat with your headphones or a book, I’m the one navigating through the chaos. Enjoy the ride, because you’re getting a chauffeur service without the tip!
I’m sharing this with you so you can start appreciating the luxuries you have. You’re living in a world where you have access to a laundry service, a chef, a driver, and more. Don’t wait until you’re grown up and missing out on these comforts. Enjoy them while they last—because trust me, they’re not to be taken for granted!
Much love,
Mom
