A Parent's Life with MESSY Kids...

2/16/2016

0 Comments

 
When it comes to KIDS and MESS these 2 words click in so easily and quickly..as if they were made for each other!! Rarely have I heard of a parent saying their kids didn't make ANY MESS!!! It's always the other way around....KIDS are making lots of and lots of MESS!! 
God Knows how many times I have literally lost it...
How many times I screamed and yell and even put them on time outs!!!
​BUT..is it always that bad? 
NOT if you tried to look at it from a different perspective... they are learning, exploring, and building up their personalities in the best and perhaps ONLY way they know how!!

​They are not making a MESS..They are making MEMORIES!! 
When there are kids in our houses and lives our houses and lives will have imprints of kids. YES..
They are simply adding their IMPRINTS...it's part of living with US, sharing our house and our lives...They are just adding Chaos, via their personality!!

The messy MUM's days...

They are the tiring days..the long days, the hectic days...the days you feel so burnt and down...
The days you are just too tired from the non-stop cleaning...
Tired from constantly picking up all the cloth and shoes scattered all over the house... Tired from putting everything back in its place...
Tired from cleaning the spilled milk and juice off the floor, scrapping off stepped on food that is stuck on the carpet, or removing bits of food hiding in-between the couch and under the pillows!!!

BUT Then, these DAYS just might just be the very days were we look back and see our strength and bravery!!! Our creativity and drive that we didn't QUIT but instead LOVED!!

So you know what we have to do? We have to overlook!!!
​

Their hands staining the cleaned windows.... 
Soap and water all over the bathroom floor....
Squeezed and almost empty toothpaste....
Splotches on your just cleaned mirror
Sorted toys dumped in a pile
Markers with lids off...
Sketches on the walls....
Cloth on the floor or dumped in the corner
Picture
Instead, We have to teach them!!!
To take their shoes and cloth off the entrance hall...
To clean up their toys...
Told their cloth..
To put their plates in the kitchen...

And in time they will LEARN..as they GROW UP they will LEARN!!

Parents....
Get your hands dirty. Get your face dirty. Dig in and create..... build, destroy and accessorize alongside your children!! 


Sink into the creative process, which is a messy, beautiful phase, and surrender to the moment.

Life is messy.
It’s a season. A journey.
And it’s a short one.

WE just need to remember that on our MESSY & TIRING DAYS.....

TO Be a part of the fun!!

NOTE: at the END of the day they will get tired too....and drift off quickly to sleep
