Something’s Gotta Give

So here’s the problem.

I expect too much from my kids.

There is only a certain amount of time that a 1, 2, and 3-year-old can entertain themselves without being destructive.

I always push it just a little bit too far.

It’s that “let me just do one more thing” that always results in something like this:

 or this

or this

or this or this

or this

So in actuality, rather than crossing one thing off my list, squeezing in that “one more thing” almost always adds on to the list.

I feel kind of stupid coming to this realization after the 7th kid.

You’d think I might have gotten a clue by Number 3.

Or 4.

Or 5.

Or 6.

Sigh.

By the time I’m a grandmother, I should have this whole parenting thing figured out.
