Christmas holidays are approaching and we are preparing gifts to each other. Do not lag behind and our kids. Those who are older and already go to school or daycare, does mold from clay snowmen, carve lanterns of colored paper and draw holiday cards.
All this, of course, very cute, because we all deserve his share of gifts positive. After all, being a parent - employment difficult, day and does not include holidays and weekends. Therefore, there is the dream of every kid's mom or dad. And it's not gold jewelry or a brand new smartphone. What really want to get all, without exception, parents as a Christmas gift? Let's fantasize.
Remote from the child. It would be a wonderful gift. Imagine how great it is sometimes to be able to put the whims and tantrums on pause or turn down the sound. And when valishsya from exhaustion and dreams finally sleep, simply rewind the night feeding.
A year's supply of coffee. Sometimes, for example, when a child is teething and all night he acts up, open your eyes in the morning is simply impossible. Can only save a cup of coffee, or better yet a great drip coffee directly into a vein. In general, in a house where there are small children, without the drink can not do.
Your clone. As it would be nice if you could sometimes get him out of the closet and send a child to the clinic, to the playground, or parent-teacher meeting. And to finally enroll in English language classes, salsa, go to the barber shop, just to sleep or quietly take a bath.
A certificate for a free time. A truly free. When it is possible, without looking at the clock, slowly walk down the street, go to a beauty salon or be filled up for the day with a book on the couch. Nor is it to think about "how they got there without me."
Gadget to eliminate guilt. As much as we tried not to be good parents, the perfect result can not be achieved to anyone. Here would be a gadget that reduces the level of guilt for the fact that we could not cope with them and shouted at the child did not go for a walk on the street, because we have a housekeeper, not a home cooked three-course meal, replacing his shop sausage with pasta, included cartoons instead read. In general, you understand us.
Magic crumb-catcher. Daily cleaning in the house where there are children - it is a labor of Sisyphus. Where children take so much garbage? The impression is that they simply produce. Especially crumbs. Around the table, on the chairs and, of course, in bed, despite your strict prohibition not to eat in bed. All who have children, understand that without a crumb-catcher in the home can not do.
Cards to perform household chores. You do not have to persuade anyone to collect toys, wash for a plate or fold clothes in the closet. Just imagine how much time and nerves it will keep you. In general, cards for children are very useful. Yes, and some adults, too - then the shelf in the bathroom is finally hanging on the spot, rather than standing in the middle of the corridor, a nail is hammered, and garbage taken out.
All this, of course, a fantasy. But on New Year come true the most magical and wildest dreams. And perhaps this is the year the children will be more careful, obedient, will clean up after a toy and does not throw things everywhere, and my husband will be more attentive and caring and then all the magic Soup will we, mothers, without needed. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
And be sure to ask, how to properly receive and give gifts.
