I don't brush my kids' teeth every single night 2. I will give in and give them a lollipop at 10 am on Saturday morning if they will please please stop whining 3. On days they get a lollipop at 10 am I DO brush their teeth 4. Some nights I turn on Tom & Jerry and tell them I'm going to go into the kitchen to cook dinner but I really make mac&cheese and give myself a few minutes alone in the kitchen. A fat glass of wine is usually included on these quiet kitchen times 5. I pack lunch for myself every single day and rarely buy myself anything so I can hire a cleaning woman every 2 weeks 6. I never scrub the floor or the toilet or the bathroom counters (see point 5) 7. I do make my own bread and I do keep the children high-fructose-corn-syrup free 8. I stay up way too late most nights so I have me time and then am a grump to the kids in the morning 9. I waited all my life to have 2 beautiful kids (i'm in my 40s) but often think about bedtime as soon as I wake up 10. I think my children and my experience with motherhood is unique (I know it's a universal truth) 1. I don’t brush my kids’ teeth every single night
