I appreciate your willingness to visit a household that is currently home to a teething infant, a spirited toddler, and two exhausted parents. Clearly, I hold you in high regard to invite you into this delightful chaos. Since I cherish our time together and look forward to welcoming you back in the future, I want to extend my sincerest apologies for a few quirks that may have made your stay – let’s say – a bit more unique than a $100 night at a Comfort Inn.
Apologies for the Unique Experience
First and foremost, I’m sorry that my toddler decided to serenade you with “The Wheels on the Bus” at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning. I completely understand how jarring that can be!
I apologize for the fact that our yogurt selection consists solely of cotton-candy-flavored push-up tubes. Not exactly gourmet, I know.
I’m also sorry for the surprise you experienced in the middle of the night when you encountered a potty chair insert that plays a Disney princess jingle. I can imagine the swooshing sound of a magic fairy wand was a bit startling.
Please forgive my little one for plastering stickers all over you – including some rather unconventional spots like your leg hair and eyelids. Kids and their arts and crafts!
I must apologize for the dust in our home. I only had time to tackle one chore before your arrival, and let’s just say the vacuum won that battle. Next time, expect shiny surfaces but perhaps a few crumbs on the floor.
I’m sorry that you had to witness a small, naked human roaming about for a good part of your stay. You know how it is with potty training!
I also regret that we had to dine out at 4 p.m. to avoid the judging eyes of other patrons as my toddler devoured spoonfuls of ketchup while my baby played food-drop roulette. Next time, remind me that takeout is the way to go.
I apologize for the baby’s cries that likely disrupted your sleep. We practice “cry it out” around here (sorry not sorry).
I’m sorry that our adult conversations had to be conducted in whispers once the kids were finally asleep. #lightestsleepersever.
I also regret that one of you had to eat standing up because two of our chairs are currently occupied by a booster and a baby seat.
Lastly, I’m sorry if you end up with a cold post-visit, courtesy of my little ones and their ever-rotating collection of what we call “The Daycare Special.”
Embracing the Chaos
Yes, life with kids is a far cry from a pre-parenting existence. But despite the chaos and sleepless nights, I genuinely hope you’ll cherish your time with us. Remember, you’re always welcome here, even if it means sacrificing privacy and sleep for an abundance of love.

In Summary
While our home may not be a serene getaway, it is filled with warmth and laughter. Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our wonderful, albeit chaotic, family life.
