🎒 The Realities of Grandparent Duty: A Chronological Breakdown 😅 👇
Brought my 4-year-old grandson, Levi, to work with me this morning. What is usually a 15-minute journey took nearly 45 minutes. I completely forgot what it’s like trying to get a toddler up, dressed, and out the door on a schedule! 🫣
The timeline of events:
⏰ 9:00 AM: "Nanny, I want to go to nursery now!" (His session didn't start until 1:15 PM...)
⏰ 9:10 AM: "Nanny, I need to p*e!" (Naturally, we are nowhere near a restroom...)
⏰ 9:20 AM: "Nanny, I want to go to that shop!" (Because of the toys, obviously. I said no.)
⏰ 9:25 AM: "Nanny, I'm thirsty!" 🙄
⏰ 9:30 AM (Inside the shop): "Nanny, I need a toy!" I said no... queue a full-blown tantrum where he sat on the floor with his arms crossed refusing to move.
🛑 Result of negotiation: We left with a toy dinosaur and a Fruit Shoot. 🦖🥤
⏰ 9:45 AM (Walking through the park): "Nanny, I want to go on the swings!" 😬 Another meltdown. I promised we’d go after work if he just walked with me.
At this point, my client is arriving at 10:00 AM—exactly ten minutes away. I am sweating, ready to crack, and he is just sauntering along behind me without a care in the world.
And just as I am about to lose my mind... he looks up at me in his little Spider-Man suit and says:
"Nanny, I love you. Can you hold my hand?" 🥹❤️
Look at the photos to see the face of a master manipulator at work. I survived and made it just in time for my 10:00 AM client, but I think I needed a nap ! 🤣

❤️ A little bit of perspective this morning…

I’ve had the kids for the past few days, and the baby hasn’t been well. 🥺

Poor little thing was trying his very best to smile through it, but he was up most of the nights from Sunday through to Tuesday… and so was I! 😂❤️

He wanted cuddles, comfort and to be held, so that’s exactly what he got. Needless to say, absolutely no work got done, and I’m now chasing my tail a wee bit to catch up

But do you know what?

I bounced out of bed this morning with a completely different attitude. I was genuinely delighted to get up, get ready and head off to work.

And it made me realise something.

Being a grandmother is an absolute privilege. Getting those cuddles, being there when the wee ones need you and making those memories is something I wouldn’t swap for the world. ❤️

But do you know what else is a privilege?

Being able to go to work, do something I love, build my business and have that time for myself without having to worry about childcare, school runs or whether I’ve had enough sleep to function!

Sometimes we get so caught up in the daily juggle, chasing bookings, worrying about money, trying to get everything done and feeling like we’re constantly behind, that we forget to appreciate what we actually have.

A few sleepless nights and a change in routine have given me a wee reality check this week.

I’m feeling grateful for my family, grateful for my business, and grateful that I get to enjoy both in my own way.

And a massive shout-out to all the working mammies out there, because honestly, how you do it all day in, day out is beyond me! 🙌❤️

The juggling, the guilt, the lack of sleep, trying to be everything to everyone… it’s no easy job, and you deserve so much credit.

Sometimes it takes stepping away from our normal routine to realise that the life we’re chasing after is actually one we should stop and appreciate a wee bit more.

Today, I’m heading into work with a grateful heart and a fresh perspective. ✨

Now, let’s get those bookings filled! 😂❤️
