Things you do for your kids you’d never do otherwise

I’m about to drop my DTs at nursery and then go to a three hour long training session, part 2 of 6, to learn how to play with them.

(I’m not daft - they have disabilities and don’t want to play).

Normally I would rather remove my own eyes with a spoon than spend my precious child-free time anywhere other than lying flat in a dark room, but they are worth it. I wouldn’t be doing it for anyone else!

This week I also need to:

  • collect DT2’s pee in cotton wool and then squeeze it into a collection pot (bleugh)
  • stay awake as much of the weekend as necessary to get a decent sleep study for DT1 after he managed to sneakily remove the sensor last time
  • face my nemesis (filling in forms) to take our LA to tribunal over their education - my worst nightmare (not good at confrontation)

I realised how much of my life I spend doing things I literally wouldn’t ever bother doing for anyone else, even DH and I quite like him.

And that’s even before getting on to cleaning up poo and puke and radioactive nose goo

What less-than-fun things are you doing this week just for your kids?

My DD (aged about 5 at the time) got out of the swimming pool mid lesson, walked over to where I was sitting, said 'Can you hold this?' and handed me an enormous bogey. I'd have pushed anyone else into the pool and driven home by myself. But I said 'OK', took it, put it in a tissue and hid it in my bag.
