Here we go again….another Friday, another brand new set of memes that help us laugh about the ridiculous nature of this paradigm called parenting. And if your week feels like it flew by without your little monsters near you every waking second, well, you’re not alone. But let’s not forget those moms with the smaller cherubs, negotiating work while breastfeeding and every day life.
Dads aren’t immune from the milky fever either.
If you find you’re succumbing to allergy season again, never fear, the kids will still be near:
Friday is a treat day, after all, so let yourself order not just what you want but also what you need:
Parent/teacher meetings will return in full force soon but don’t worry, this image lays out all your expectations in a nice timeline:
Also, notice how too many milestones start earlier than when we were kids?
School pictures should be here soon too! Hopefully, they turn out how you wanted them.
For those of us who are still in toddler land, let’s take a moment to enjoy the little things, like when they listen to us–oh well.
Maybe you took them to a museum over the break?
And if your crafts aren’t always Pinterest-worthy, just remember most of your neighbor’s aren’t either.
Or you want to take advantage of back to school to enjoy all those things you never get to do. Just, you know, remember the other kids.
But hey, at least this juggling act is over!
Happy Friday!
