And, as you predicted, your toddler starts screaming because you insist they stay on the ground away from the sizzling wok. The kettle just boiled, so you need to pour the water over the noodles in a bowl to soften them before adding them to the wok. The stir-fry veggies in the wok are close to burning and you need to stir them. The children continue to whine and cling, and you know it’s about to escalate to screaming and tantrums. So your kindergartener whines, your toddler clings to your shins, and you throw some frozen stir-fry veggies into a wok with oil.

You walk in the door, hang your bag on a hook, unpack your kids’ bags, and turn on the TV hoping to distract said kids while you cook dinner.Īlas, TV didn’t work because they’re hangry. Teacher-brain has descended and you feel like your brain is processing at half-speed. Imagine this, you are at home after work.
