Being a mom is so much fun! In the midst of the daily grind, it’s easy to forget that. Not only is it fun, but an hour spent devoted to enjoying your children is an investment that will impact the future generations. When we take time to play with our kids, we win their hearts and we build memories that they will cherish forever. I made out this top 10 list for a friend a few years ago. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if I shared it with you all. This is just to put things in perspective and to help us moms remember the really fun parts of raising children.
Top 10 most fun parts of being mom
10. You have unlimited access to toys.
9. You have someone whose almost always ready and willing to cuddle.
8. You get to learn the highly sophisticated language of cries. For example there’s the typical “I need to drift off to sleep cry” and there’s the “I’m outraged and I’m about to clobber this other kid over the head with a fire truck” cry. It’s a fascinating field of study!
7.You can stick with the kiddie rides at the amusement park and nobody will think you’re a wimp.
6.You can buy a family pass to the amusement park and ride roller coasters all summer long!
5. Your kids won’t think you’re rude if you stuff your mouth full of gum and blow humongous bubbles. While grown ups would smirk in astonishment, kids will laugh hysterically and beg for more when the bubble pops all over your face.
4.In the event that your kid gets stuck, you get to climb the play equipment at McDonald’s to rescue them
3. A little bit of knowledge goes a long way in impressing your kids. For example, if you can make a doll diaper out of a paper towel, you’re the smartest mom in the world!
2. If you can make cupcakes in an ice cream cone, you are a culinary genius.
1. You can spend an entire day playing, coloring, reading books or building forts, and it is a wise investment of your time.
