I get it

I used to wonder why when I was child free and offered to help my friends with kids they would simply just smile and say "I'm all good but thanks" I get it now.

I used to think they didn't want any help and almost got offended by them not taking me up on my offer. But I get it now, sometimes.... its just easier to do it yourself. Don't get me wrong having another pair of hands is great, but can almost make things worse/exhausting. Because your having to explain how to do things ... for example I share what pyjamas Mr 3 is preferring, but wait you can't find them so I then look and find them (in under 30 seconds), and now that I've found them I may as well dress him. Or the time I asked Mr Smith to put away baskets of washing for the boys that had been piling up.... you would think its straight forward ummm nope it went something like this "With Grayson's clothes as your going through check all the sizes anything that has a faint stain needs to go in a pile so I can re soak it, anything that is size 000 needs to go in another pile to be stored away or donated, except if they are Bonds Wondersuits they can be stretched out a bit longer, anything that is 00/0 can stay and go away but not any Pure Baby cause they are on the small side......and on it went for another 5mins and my husband thinking I'd gone mad! A few weeks ago Mr Smith was making breaky and dished up toast to Mr 3 without any conversation...

Mr 3 stared down in horror at the toast "Not rectangles Daddy, I don't like them, I like triangles" I hadn't managed to share this weeks toast rules but luckily 5 mins later Mr Smith had talked him down and very quickly turned them into little triangles... Sometimes its just easier, I get it, sometimes I wish the simple tasks didn't have such a detailed instruction list to go with it but they do at the moment... and always always offer either rectangle, squares or triangles when doing toast!!!

Have a great week xx
