School holidays, Day 6: I thought I’d be the “fun parent”—baking cookies, doing science experiments, planning museum trips. Reality check: we’re out of flour, the volcano exploded in the kitchen, and the only trip we’re taking is to the supermarket (again).
Yesterday, I tried to sneak a quiet moment in the bathroom—within 30 seconds, two kids, the dog, and a suspiciously sticky toy joined me. Privacy? Not during school holidays!
Survival tips from a seasoned pro:
If you hear silence, investigate. Quickly.
Rotate hiding spots (kids are getting smarter).
Bribery with ice cream is totally acceptable.
Remember, bedtime is a team sport—never attempt it alone.
