[Lighthearted]

As mums we're kindof expected to be good at everything but I am fed up of this unrealistic standard.

I'll admit I'm terrible at decorating, keeping things organised and, sadly, time keeping.

Housework. I honestly don't care about it and don't know why everyone else does. I do it for my family though but I'm rubbish

Driving. I've had multiple lessons at different points in my life but I can't do it. My coordination is terrible. Tried both manual and automatic. The roads are safer without me on them.

Telling stories; had to resort to baabaa black sheep the other night and was just the song in story form "and they all lived happily with their wool". Zero imagination.

Cooking I'm the worst cook, I managed to undercook a pasta bake recently, I've even burnt chicken nuggets once. I'm a complete disaster, thank god my husband is amazing in the kitchen otherwise we would all starve or have food poisoning 🤣🤣

Mental maths. I'm OK at the complicated stuff but trying to add up in my head doesn't work.
Modern life. Contactless card machines, self-service tills, unexpected items in the bagging area, automatic doors (am short) having to remember a plethora of PINs and passwords.. these things don't seem to work for me at all.
Shopping with a mask. Given all the above, it adds confusion and incomprehension when I try to explain (through mine) that I thought I'd followed all the instructions on the aforementioned till/ machine.
