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

Once got into work first and put the filter coffee on. Discovered when i went to get a cup that i hadn’t put the jug back under it. Luckily, the box lid it sat on had a lip around and was now a pool of delicious smelling coffee with several of my colleagues staring at it in bemusement.

I put the milk back in the cupboard after making my son a cup of milk.

I washed and tumble dried an entire roll of toilet roll along with the bedding.

I’m a teacher and regularly forget which class I’m teaching next.

I gave up on writing the date on the board as I could never remember it after having my son.

I wander around chatting and explaining things even though my kids aren’t with me, searched the house looking for my glasses whilst wearing them, and have been told by my 3 year olds that it’s time for mama’s nap now. That’s my particular favourite, DS fetches mama cushions for a pillow, and DD tucks me in with her blankie and tells me it’ll all be better once I’ve slept. I’m not such a fan of the way she peels my eyelids open if I close them.

@MuchTooTired
Actually laughing out loud at this

Went to work wearing one short boot and one long boot.
Used to regularly catch myself singing Peppa Pig out loud in Sainsbury's when youngest was in nursery.

Considered having a third child because the c-section I would need would mean a couple of days of bed rest.

Took baby out in the pram to do the shopping etc. 45 mins into the trip I look down to see I’m in my slippers on the high st.

My friend is in hospital with cellulitis. All I hear is two days away from home with someone cooking dinner and no kids to care for. I'm so jealous.

Forgot the words to twinkle twinkle little... uh ...

@blablablah You win postnatal shoe poker!

My husband also complains about having to travel business class to the US and stay in a hotel for a week. I would bite my right arm off for that opportunity.

Arrived at work wearing mismatching shoes

Me too @lubaluca I'm just locked in a house with two 2 year olds and a 6 year okd

@blablablah just seen your post, I did the exact same thing, although mine were the same colour 😆

This happened to me - sepsis from kidney infection - in laws came up to help my exhausted and very stressed DH.

The very hour I got home from hospital I felt obliged to make them cups of tea and dinner, they were exhausted from looking after my DC

Left the house with toddler in my slippers. In the ice. Again.

Looked forward to dental treatment for the rest in the chair.

Gave up and did a serious meeting today with a two-year-old wrapped around my neck like a scarf. A scarf chanting 'x did a big big poo mummy, x did a big big poo'.

I so look forward to my 6 weekly orthodontist appointments. That hour in the chair is the most peaceful and relaxing time I get.

I cried at the end of my first yoga session when they do that 'feel yourself melting into the floor' stuff

I was feeding DC2 one afternoon, waiting for Ocado to deliver. Had finally cracked feeding her, felt pretty smug, let him in whilst still feeding DD, thinking how awesome I was at this .... shut the door after he had brought bags in to see that the boob DD wasn't on was still out in all its glory and on full display.

I did wonder why he forgot to ask for the bags...

Does quoting the wrong post count

@JustLikeJasper that’s the kind of horrible shit that will happen to me if I get it.

Husband got 7 lovely days to himself whilst I seethed a floor below him.

With my first I was so tired I kept buying books I’d already read and not realising until the end seemed very familiar.

I have no recollection of ever having to set an alarm in the morning in the past 4 years, despite working four days per week.

My ideal child free evening would involve a takeaway and sleep.

DH made me a cup of tea. The dog barked. I asked DD3 to do downstairs and let him in as I've had a busy day. She fell down the stairs, so now I'm in A&E at 23:12

My toddler wet my bed in the early hours last night, I throw a towel over it (the wet patch not the child) and dealt with it in the morning....bodily fluids no longer disgust me and sleep is more important 😭😭😭
