Parenting from bed. With help from … Alexa?!

Me: Alexa, drop in on living room.

(Hears devices connect)

Me: O, are you okay down there baby?
O: Yes
Me: What are you doing?
O: A jigsaw puzzle
Me: Fantastic, great job. I love you.

Me: Alexa, drop out.

(Devices disconnect)

Honestly, some days I would be so fucked without Alexa. I’m crashing today. It’s been a bloody tough few weeks and now my ME has had enough. My fatigue and nausea is just too much. I’m doing my best, but I’ve reached the point where I simply have to be in bed.

But how can I parent from bed until Pete gets home from work?!

… Alexa. That’s how.

(Of course, having a very kind, caring, understanding and all-round beautiful child also goes a long way!)

Side note: I did have to get up to move a spider from said jigsaw. Sadly, Alexa can’t do that for me and I couldn’t persuade O to make friends with it. So there’s still room for improvement in this whole parenting from bed plan. 🤪 🕷️

Hi there! I’m Emma. I’m the shit-head in the picture. A picture can say so much about a person, whilst also saying nothing. Well, nothing in this case other than: I clearly like lipstick and poo hats. So, now we’ve established how tasteful and stylish I am, allow me to tell you a bit about myself...
