We got a 20/20 perfect score in our weekly spelling test today so I figured it calls for celebratory pizza and ice-cream. Not that that is how we do, but I haven't been present much and mummy guilt is real. But now the cashier lady was being a word that rhymes with switch. I had to swallow the impulse to check her real quick so I called out her name in a controlled manner, smiled into her eyes and told her to kindly attend to me. J sensing that our mood had been ruined wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a hug while looking up at me. I squeezed his shoulder and shook off the feeling so we could enjoy the rest of our date. These kids that will pretend not to hear you the 5,789 times you tell them "Eat your food", "Go to bed", "Pick up your toys" or "Stop jumping from the top of your wardrobe" in varying degrees of annoyance can be so perceptive. Moments like these make me realise how selective they are just being with their attention while testing our limits and pushing their boundaries. 🙄 How is your weekend going? 😊 #themumzone #weekend

😂😂😂😂😂 I asked her to forgive them for they know what they have seen at the hands of some previous housekeepers who couldn't boil egg. They now know that not all adults can cook. 😄 One couldn't even warm food (I don't use a microwave), it always came out burnt or dry. 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️ How are you all doing this morning?😊 #themumzone

No Two Kids Are Alike With the attitude I get from J when it comes to house work, I have no doubt about this. I interrupted their screen time to ask J to go fill up the bottles from the dispenser and load in the fridge. J does not like this. J does not like any kind of chore. This used to be M's job but you see, but M is so much bigger than that now. M wants to do other things. Like cooking, cleaning, taking out the trash and he'll even tell you it's a good day to do laundry and then proceed to sort the cloths by color and type. J doesn't like any of it really and is happy to have M do stuff for him in the absence of Ms R, Hubs or me. J will go along only as long as M is doing it too but to ask him to do something all by himself? Nah. So when I asked J, only him, to go fill up the bottles, he got up slowly, stonily, stomped into the kitchen and slammed the door. M just shook his head and said, "Should I go and help him?" No, he has to learn to do his bit by himself. "But he's upset." No kiddin' 🙄 He'll be alright. 😁 How do your offspring react to chores? How do you handle 'uncooperative' behaviour? #themumzone Image: M @ 4 y.o.

J is going through picky-eater phase right now. The one who ate all things without judgement, suddenly prefers jollof rice to white rice and stew because rice and stew is spicy. (It's not 🙄) . I am warming stir-fry spaghetti with sausages, smoked chicken and turkey for them and he starts throwing a tantrum because he wants rice and stew. Oh, I'm sorry, I must have mistaken you for the kid who hates rice and stew. Now you want rice and stew? You better not pour that spaghetti on my chair! Hold that plate well! M is bothered. He tries to coax his 'baby' brother to try it, because mummy used the yummy sausage this time. (As opposed to what? 😏) M who used to exist on bread and air is now eating up a storm, always hungry and asking for a snack every 5 minutes. I was so sure J would soon catch up to M's size but that's not happening anymore. I've walked through again and I see J has picked out all the meat and is nibbling on his turkey while M eats his left-over spaghetti. Sigh. I grab my water and go back to my room. Both of you will be alright. #themumzone Post inspired by @mumconfessions 🤗

Nothing like a good morning stretch after being bedridden for a while. The things we take for granted, such as being able to swallow without wincing 🙏 Happy Easter holidays from dem kings 😘 #thetombisreallyempty #Jesusisalive #themumzone

Hey! My spinal chest 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ And the way he said it ehn? It pained me o! 🙈🙈 I just dropped the fork and came back to lie down in my room. . . Now he has come to ask me if I'm feeling better (how can? When you won't let me eat your food 😑) and if I've taken my medicine this afternoon. The child is just like his father, force-feeding me medication because I'd sooner forget and hope my body heals itself 😏 I won't be surprised if his dad asked him to remind me since he's called like only twice since morning 🙄 . . . . . #themumzone

🙃 #mumsatwork #themumzone

I mean, I only split my body in half and saw the gates of heaven enroute delivering two humans so maybe I know a little something about breathing. 😂 Mums, am I right? Who remembers their breathing exercise? 🙋🏽‍♀️ Did you even use it? #tookmedownmemorylane #themumzone

Saturday Runnings My favourite part, Sitting still at the end of it all. No, I'm not hiding from them boys. Okay, maybe a little. #themumzone
