Put my "good mother/parent" head on and offer DS a trip to the park which is accepted with delight.
Supervise DS near the roads (he has autism and is a bit flighty at times).
Get to park and then supervise him near the lake.
Quieten him down when walking past all those fishing.
Find swings, slides and climbing things.
Warn DS to remember he is bigger than some other children and to be gentle.
Watch anxiously from the side.
Supervise some activities and take some piccies.
Worry about being a helicopter parent so back off again.
Worry from seat that DS will bash into a smaller child and injure him/her so move closer again.
Cope with meltdown when the time to leave arrives but persuade DS with ice cream.
Worry that I have bribed him into behaving.
Discover that I have no wipes with me when DS is covered in chocolate ice cream and realise I am a very shoddy sort of mother.
Stop DS from engaging every adult he meets/comes across in conversation.
Ignore horrified stares from people at DS's chocolate covered face.
Ignore DS's increasingly loud whine about "tired legs".
Get home in time to cook tea.
I thought a walk was supposed to be fun.
Does it count as my 30 mins of exercise for today?
