“There’s nothing to do.””I’m bored.””Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom….”
Bump your legs repeatedly, poke your side, tell their sibling “no, you’re annoying.”, bounce up & down with a pouty face, make whining noises while rolling their head back….you know the drill.
The fact is that sometimes we REALLY DO have to get things done: pay the bills, wash the clothes, call the health insurance company to tell them they suck, empty the diaper pail that’s been stinking up the nursery for days…whoa, this is getting really personal. Anyway, sometimes the kids just need to keep themselves busy. Doesn’t make you a bad mom.
