Writer, actress and general ledge, Amy Huberman just highlighted one of the biggest struggles of parenthood.
You know that moment when there's nothing to do?
Okay, it's rare. Like unicorn rare, but very VERY occasionally in our lives as species-propagators, there comes a window of time that is without obvious purpose. The baby's asleep, the toddler is off with the granny, and you are FREEEEEEEEEEEE.
It might only be like five minutes long, or it might be *whisper it* an hour or more (IMAGINE) but by God, one thing can be completely counted on for sure: we're gonna waste it.
It's like a law of parenthood or something. We get so frazzled at the thought of no one's arse to be wiped or apples to be chopped up, that we invariably squander the precious window of us-time worrying about what to do with the free time.
Should I do a load of whites? Lie down and stare at the wall? Go for a shower completely alone? Eat some crisps without out having to carefully and soundlessly open the packet and place each one on the tongue to silently dissolve it lest a toddler hear it?
Amy gets our struggle:
"Home Alone! No exploding nappies or general screaming. WHAT WILL I DO????" she captions a
recent post.
She follows up with the perfect solution to the problem:
"Going to neck pints of water so I can do sooooo many wees. ALONE!!"
The luxury!
