I agree with both of you. When my oldest was young, I felt like all I said was "hurry!"
Hurry, we need to get to work/daycare
Hurry, we need to get home for dinner
Hurry, we need to get your bath in
Hurry, lets read our story for bed
so that I could...
Hurry and get the laundry done
Hurry and do the dishes
Hurry and pay a couple bills
etc., etc.
It's hard to be a working parent. That is one of the reasons I started doing daycare. I didn't want to hurry through my kids lives.
I'm back to work outside the home, but still pretty much home when my youngest gets off the bus and we pick up my Middle Schooler. Here's the thing, guess why I'm here posting away...
My oldest went to get new glasses...he took my insurance and credit card, then having dinner out with a friend...no need for me. Although, he did text me a picture to see what I thought.
My middle is spending the night with a friend...
My youngest is at gymnastics, its a 3 hour practice, Mom's don't go...
It all goes by way too fast...enjoy every last second. Before you know it, you'll have a lot more time on your hands! Well, in between drop off and pick up anyway!
