There are so many common experiences for every mother, but there are a few that I find myself giggling about because of their unique circumstances.
- You've burned your lap bringing dinner to the table.
- Sometimes it is safer for the 3 year old to carry something than Mommy depending on terrain.
- You've ever balanced on one leg/one crutch/up a step on wheels while your kid spotted you.
- You take your little one to more of your doctor's appointments than their own.
- You were excited when your child could help you put your shoes on.
- You've tossed imaginary objects (keys, potions, jewels) to the jungle gym from the playground bench
- You fall down just as much as as your toddler.
- You were surprised how quickly your kid was better at walking than you are.
- You've bent over to pick up a toy and rolled over your own foot.
- You've been tangled wheelchair around laptop cord, purse around crutch handle, foot through cord and simultaneously ripped something from the wall/dumpped something while hitting the deck.
- You clean to gain passage through a room rather than for tidiness
- Your kid is the only kid on the playground who gets hurts, gets up and comes to Mommy before she cries
- Your kid has left you stranded by running away with your means of transportation (Usually while you're on the toilet or in bed).
- Your kid thinks Mommy's picture is all over the parking lots
- If you're skilled at pushing something on wheels while you yourself are on wheels
- Your kids can literally push you around!
- Your kid squeals with glee at the novelty of being given permission to climb a flight of stairs in a public building rather than ride the elevator again
- Your child learned to walk on your walker
I know there's more...help me out disabled parents
I really enjoyed reading this, there were a ton of good ones I can say -- yep I've done that. Thank you for sharing this I loved it, I have one too and I know Im not alone on this how about having your kid climb the counters to reach YOU something out of the cabinets--lol Cassie
ReplyDeleteI thought about saying how I'm a literal piece of furniture because she sits on me or a step ladder because she climbs me when I'm in the wheelchair to get things. (:
Deletethanks for the giggle :)
ReplyDeleteAnytime (:
DeleteGreat list! Just correct those two misspellings in the beginning. Misty
ReplyDeleteGot them, thanks!
DeleteI have another one...If you feel jealous of your toddler comfortly sitting in the shopping cart. I walk with crutches and get tired when shopping. I glance at my toddler and wish I was in his place.
ReplyDeleteI've totally wished I could ride in the cart (: I finally broke down and started using the electric ones and letting her ride in my lap.
