As a mom, my imagination often drifts to a blissful escape. Picture this: the lights dimmed, sheets tousled, and my partner gently nudges me onto the bed. “Shhhh…” he murmurs, planting a soft kiss on my lips before whispering, “I’ll handle the kids.” He tucks me in snugly, switches off the lights, and quietly exits the room, granting me the gift of uninterrupted sleep. In that moment, he’s never been more appealing, and my admiration for him knows no bounds.
However, my daydreams have shifted from once steamy to delightfully ordinary. Since embracing my role as a mother, my fantasies now center around the elusive concept of sleep. Below are 25 of my wild and crazy dreams, tailored for the mom experience:
- Kids who sleep in past 6 a.m.
- Enjoying a novel without illustrations.
- Engaging in a conversation where I don’t refer to myself in third person.
- Getting tucked in at 7:55 p.m. after a soothing bath. (What’s a toddler’s nightmare is a mother’s fantasy!)
- Laundry that magically folds itself.
- Math homework that actually makes sense.
- Guilt-free chocolate and calorie-free wine.
- A family dinner where everyone eats the same meal without complaints.
- The end of Caillou.
- A minivan that remains spotless for longer than 14 minutes.
- Using the bathroom with the door securely closed.
- A girls’ night out.
- A cozy girls’ night in with no pants required.
- Home alone—just me.
- Phone calls without interruptions from someone shouting “Mom, he won’t stop licking me!”
- Watching a basketball game without a barrage of awkward erectile dysfunction commercials.
- Nine hours of uninterrupted sleep. Okay, I’d settle for six hours of peace.
- Socks that remain paired through the laundry cycle.
- Fitting back into my pre-baby jeans.
- A wardrobe free of jeans and bras.
- Children who actually listen.
- Kids who don’t whine incessantly.
- Children who grow up to be kind, happy, and confident.
- Kids who truly love us.
- Kids who understand just how much we care for them.
