1. Sleep? What sleep?
2. You’re exhausted, but still trying to be emotionally supportive to your child. Which is lovely, kudos to you, but you’ve also got to check you’re not coming across like this…
3. When kids send in their drawings to television shows and they’re never shown and you need to manage their disappointment. (Riley sympathises.)
4. When kids are finally toilet trained.
5. That desperate takeaway dinner choice because you can’t be bothered to cook – even if you regret it straight away.
6. The realisation that gastro has hit.
7. When dancing in front of your kids you might think you look like these guys…
…but really look like this.
8. Trying to keep composed while it’s all going to hell around you.
9. Or, failing that, if you’re lucky, you get escape for a little while. Let it go and walk away. WALK AWAY.
10. Because, then, when you return calmer and composed, you’re more like this again.
(And, surely, that’s a good thing.)
