This article provides a glimpse into the daily life of a parent, highlighting the balance between family responsibilities and personal pursuits. From early morning routines with a young daughter to stolen moments for creativity and leisure activities like skateboarding.
ShareAt 7.30am. We’ve trained our lovely nearly-three-year-old daughter to be cool about waiting until then. Honestly, I’m a morning person. Over breakfast I might try to sneak last night’son. My daughter used to be into it, but she’s off TV now. She prefers fishing for paperclips with a magnet on a string.Lots of activities: sports, mostly, then muddy baths. Or going to cubs at church.
A supervisor once came up to me during a shift to say a customer had complained about me: ‘That young woman needs to cheer up.’I want to say I’d be playing guitar and piano at home, be creative without expectation. Honestly, though, I’d shove the PlayStation on and play Fifa. Beers, maybe some music, too. Indulge in the things that take a back seat in the early years of parenthood.I got back into skateboarding recently, after a 17-year hiatus. Being a 30-something has worked to my advantage.
