kiddiequest9 How do you keep anything for yourself once the kids have taken it all? I tried leaving the dishes and just sitting with a book after they were down, but nothing felt possible and I ended up back in the kitchen instead.
TinyToddler4 The undone dishes really do follow you even when you’re trying to ignore them. Sometimes just knocking out the quick ones first is the only way the brain lets you stay put.
