Ah, breakfast in bed—what a lovely gesture, kids! I appreciate the homemade pancakes, even if I’m more of a Raisin Bran enthusiast. Your sweet efforts make me want to shower you all with hugs and kisses. Thank you for that!
And to my beloved partner, I genuinely love the designer tennis dress you picked out for me! But let’s be real: I’m no longer a size 2, and the tall, slender silhouette is a distant memory. After two pregnancies and entering my forties, I’m not sure I can pull it off. Just because Lycra is an option doesn’t mean it’s a good one.
To my family, you are everything to me, which is why I always smile and offer enthusiastic praise for your thoughtful gestures on this special day. However, if you could take a peek inside my mind, you’d uncover what a mother truly desires:
A Team of Pooper Scoopers
Dogs do what dogs do—they leave messes in the yard. With an arsenal of plastic bags acquired from various stores, I’m fully equipped for this task. Yet, somehow, it often falls on me to clean up after our furry friends. It seems you’d prefer to step in it rather than just scoop it up. Let’s share the load, shall we? I don’t particularly enjoy scraping dog waste off the bottom of your shoes.
The Right to Use the Bathroom in Peace
“Mooooommmmmm!” One daughter’s call pierces the air the moment I’ve finally settled in the bathroom. The other barges in with an urgent question about endangered elephants, completely disregarding my privacy. I often forget to lock the door, and by the time I get there, I can hardly wait. So there I am, trying to handle my business while discussing wildlife conservation with my child. Meanwhile, the other one is yelling my name from a different floor.
A Designated Caller for Service Providers—for a Whole Year
Whether it’s Verizon, Time Warner, or Apple Support, the endless cycle of customer service calls is exhausting. I’d love for someone else to handle those conversations for the next twelve months. Please, just take my phone and make the call for me!
Dirty Socks in the Hamper
This one speaks for itself.
Made Beds That Don’t Require My Wrestling Skills
Child, your bunk bed is a nightmare. Fitting sheets onto that top bunk is a struggle that often leads to delays in changing them. Sometimes, I let it go for weeks because—let’s face it—it’s just that frustrating.
Kids Organizing Their Own Toys
Have you seen your playroom? There are 500 Littlest Pet Shop figures mixed with LEGO sets and a plethora of random toys—all strewn about. It looks like a tornado hit, and I dream about the chaos!
A Chilled Bottle of Veuve Clicquot
Sharing a nice bottle of champagne with my partner would be delightful. At this point, I wouldn’t mind enjoying it solo!
Hey, family, I guess there’s always next year!
