This past monday we had the kids, biomom had a thing out of town and is just getting back this afternoon, so we offered to do the school run. Here are some things I have never had to say/do before that I found myself doing last night/this morning.
1-Arguing with someone about the necessity of wearing pants - "Yes you have to wear pants, but you can take them off when we get to your aunt's house if you want."
2-Convincing someone to change their underwear - "I don't care how you do things at your mom's, here we change our underwear every day"
3-Make lunches for someone other than myself.
4-Eagerly waiting for the kids to go to bed so we can watch our grown up movie
5-Getting ready with other people around - My BF has usually left for work by the time I wake up, so I am usually alone in the morning.
6-Getting fully dressed immediatly upon waking up - I usually get hair/makeup done in my underwear, see point 5
7-Smiling in the morning - I am not a morning person, and it usually takes me a while to feel human, see point 5
8-Saying, honestly and without a hint of sarcasm, "Yes honey, I'm very proud of you for not pooping in the bathtub, I'll be sure to tell mommy, she'll be so happy"
