Tell me you're a tired parent without telling me you're a tired parent

Copied from a Facebook post I saw but the responses were funny so thought I'd ask here!

Today I played "sleeping bunnies" multiple times just for a 10 second rest on the floor where I could close my eyes

Walked out the super market without my baby (in pram). Got to the car and dh asked me if I'd forgotten something....and I still didn't click till he says "you went in with the baby"

The 4 hours I spent in A&E off my face on morphine were the most relaxed I have been in years...

@clarepetal i tested positive last week, was secretly so excited to have a whole 5 days to myself while DS was at nursery. Guess who tested positive the next day 🙄. Isolating with a 3 year old is as close to hell as i have been. Day 7 tomorrow bring on the freedom!!

As I left work the other day I was so tired I walked to the wrong car, tried opening the door several times before clicking that its not my car as theres no child seats in the back. The car was the same colour but not even the same make 🤦‍♀️

I went to reheat my cold coffee in the microwave and there was already a mug of cold coffee in there that I’d microwaved and forgotten

I love this 😂😂😂

I did this in first lockdown with an 18 ish month old.

Now - put the tea bags in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard making the first cuppa of the day.

Also known to agree to a second or third episode of Ben and Holly so I can close my eyes for 10 mins when she doesn't want to nap!

I made custard today with gravy granules- it was only when I noticed the ‘custard’ smelt savoury did I realise what I’d done 🤦‍♀️

Fell asleep on bathroom floor at work

I did this too. 😔 it was at a terrible point in my life with 3 v small DC & an awful H (at the time)

I also fell asleep on the kitchen floor when separated and had started a new f/t job with quite a lot of responsibility. I couldn't stop so I just kept going & then literally would collapse on the kitchen floor & fall asleep.

I loved going for my mw appointment - a nice lie down and a blissful break from the first born (with DH). And I drove the long way back home For no reason

When quarantine hotels were introduced the idea was extremely appealing.

This

Ordered a Christmas jumper at 3am, totally forgot, asked everyone I knew if they'd sent me a jumper as a present for three weeks. Finally checked my order history and realised I was my own mystery gifter.

My house is a shithole mess

Oh god I cannot begin to imagine
Hero!

Staying overnight in hospital after an operation counted as a holiday. Saying things like "don't wave your penis at the dog, he'll think it's a sausage" is a normal conversation to have.

Booked in for my gall bladder out on the 17th and secretly hoping they keep me in overnight.

Made a cup of coffee with gravy granules instead of coffee the jars are similar. I didn't realise until I went to take a mouthful and could smell gravy.

I have teen DD, whose BF dumped her on Tuesday evening, she’s not slept for two nights..

In hospital after DD1 was born I hallucinated goblins climbing up the window of the ward and hanging off the building across the road. Was quite surreal.

When DD2 was a few weeks old I took her out for a walk in the pram and left the front door wide open for over an hour.

I picked DD1 up from nursery one day with baby poo on my jeans as had been changing wriggly DD2 in a hurry and not noticed!!

Taking the wrong dc to an appointment & when they have called dc name 3 times arguing they've got the wrong dc

I got into the shower wearing my glasses

Some of these replies have made me laugh.

I put everything in slow cooker ready to leave on for 5 hours whilst at work/kids at school. Rush out to school/work and get home to find out id not plugged the slow cooker in...I wanted to cry

@clarepetal

Want to catch cov so I can have an excuse to stay in bed.

This was my fantasy. I have covid now. I AM NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEDRIDDEN.

The bloody injustice of it all - it's business as usual with a cough and aches 😩

I recently couldn't find my glasses I found them in the fridge along with the tv remote

I'm looking forward very much to 45 mind on the bus and a two hour contact lens appointment (I go to a training university clinic).

Me and my husband keep dreaming of staying in the local premier inn.
