As we know, a parent’s daily life is fraught with pitfalls. So much so that sometimes you have to negotiate with your conscience to ensure the survival of the tribe. A whole host of non-advisable tips (except in cases of extreme emergency).
1. The 100% fat meal
It’s 13:27 p.m., late for shopping and things are crying out for famine in the kitchen. Rusks, crisps, ham, Kiri, chocolate mousse. Too bad for the planet and the weight curves, we have everything on the table like nothing. Small plates, small glasses of water. Calm returns in two twos. We’ll make a real soup tonight.
2. The swimming pool layer for sleeping
We played with the fire, there were two layers left for the evening and the night (we like to live dangerously). But obviously the transit of the little one suddenly accelerated around 22 p.m. The grocer was closed. We had pool layers left. Be aware that the trick doesn’t work at all. It had to be changed twice during the night.
3. The afternoon cartoons
The house has not been cleaned for two weeks. Initially, children are allowed to watch a cartoon, a long one, to stick to household chores together in intense mode. But the site is such that the children prolong the TV show casually. We know we’re going to pick up three zombies around 18 p.m., but the house will be spotless. For once, it’s okay!
4. Sunday cracra
If everyone has to shower, do their hair, put on perfume, the family is ready to leave around 16 p.m. we even forget the toothpaste on the toothbrush. But we are at the park at 10 o’clock, rosy cheeks! And we wipe the runny noses with the gloves (which we will put in the machine when coming home, do not push).
5. The weird outfits
Delay of machines or sewing or shopping or all three: one of the children has nothing more presentable to put on this morning. We concoct an outfit of phew, socks that are too big (the heels are found at the ankles), ski leggings instead of the jogging, T-shirt and sweatshirt of the day before. Not to mention the briefs that we washed with shower gel and dried on the radiator during breakfast. Nickel.
6. The departure in pajamas
Failure of alarm clock equals express preparation for adults, breakfast on the way and going out in pajamas for the little one and myself … We camouflage the top with a down jacket and the bottom with lined boots. Absolutely ugly and ashamed, but the elders were on time at school.
7. The garbage car
At the beginning of the story, there was a small bag to throw garbage in the car. Then someone threw up in it. And since then, handkerchiefs, cans, cake wrappers, paper clips, broken toys and other unidentified objects have littered the interior. You just have to sweep the end of the basketball when it gets in the way of the pedals, but otherwise everything is fine thank you, and you?
8. The PQ instead of the Sopalin
We wanted to stop the paper towel to be an eco-responsible family. We bought cloth napkins, cloth handkerchiefs, cloth sponges. In short, we eradicated paper towels from our family life. Except that at the first overflowing chocolate milk, we took out the PQ roll. Who since throne on the work plan and replaced his friend casually. So chic.
