Ask any mom about nap time, and you will automatically see their face change. Nap time is the sacred time that a mom gets to have AT LEAST an hour or two of QUIET time. Most people don’t really understand exactly how important this hour is to a mom, therefore totally not understanding the dirty looks a mom will give you if you speak above a whisper, or slam the door, or even walk by the room the kids are sleeping in!!!!
To everyone else, it’s lunch time… it’s time to answer their phone, it’s time to laugh out loud, time to do the gardening with loud blowers, time to slam their car door and activate their alarms, listen to loud music while washing their car, yell at each other… etc etc.
If you are a mom — new or old — you have come to HATE, wait maybe HATE isn’t strong enough of a word— DESPISE anything that interrupts nap time.
On the other hand, I have to say it is quite unfair. I mean, how the heck should our mailman know that my kids are sleeping in the room upstairs, and that he shouldn’t slam the mailbox after putting our mail in there DURING NAP TIME!??!!
How should the annoying guy on the Harley know that there are kids napping on the street, and that between 1-3pm, he should NOT roar by…?
How should the gardeners know that my kids have super sensitive hearing, and wake up when they start up their blowers and mowers….??!!
I understand all that.
But I hate them anyway… 🙂
