My #FavouriteThing today was having a lazy day and doing some homework. We were supposed to do something with friends today, but as I had one kid down with the stomach flu (another had had it Thursday and Friday, and the third one got it at 3 am tonight), we ended up staying home and just chilling. I needed it. Napping. Homework. Groceries. Watching a show with my kids. You know. Just chilling.
What was your favourite thing today?
My Favourite Thing was spending the day with my inlaws. We all met up in the morning to visit a family member in hospital, then we decided to spend the afternoon together. We had some great laughs, and my father in law got out my husbands baby book…more laughter. In amongst the playfulness, my inlaws and I also had a talk about some parenting philosophies, mainly with respect to pre-teens and teens and what is and is not acceptable “socializing” to us. I have two sets of inlaws, plus my own mom and step dad, so it’s only natural that sometimes we don’t agree. But on this one, I know that this set of inalws and I agree wholeheartedly. That makes me feel really good inside because they have a teenage son, and I know the time until my own child is socializing independently is just around the corner, and it takes a village, right? Sometimes it’s nice if the village has different viewpoints, but I’m glad that on the big stuff, our village agrees.
