Because I Can’t Do It

See all these notebooks all nicely wrapped? Well…I didn’t do it. My Husband wrapped our daughter’s notebooks (because it’s required in school!) because he saw my brilliant workmanship and decided not to embarrass our darling daughter with the humiliation of going to school on her first day with notebooks that looked like they’ve been dragged through the rain.

The good part about all this was that my Husband and I were able to reverse our roles as parents without me having to do much! No nagging, no ‘reminding’, no asking.

I can say I can’t do it and it’s all right. I wouldn’t be looked at with disdain! If you tried to wrap these notebooks with these self-adhesive wrappers, you’d know why I struggled.
What about you? What parenting role reversals would you like to happen between your husband and yourself?















Why on earth would wrapping notebooks be required?
