My first true experience with fantasy Vs Reality in parenting


My wife loves bread, I've been talking about wanting to learn to bake. So up and decided today I'll go home and bake her some homemade wheat loaf!Fantasy- Daddy walks through the door, kisses wife and baby, proceeds off to make delicious bread while wife relaxes and toddler sits in her high chair and is amazed at what daddy is doing.Reality- Wonderful wife trying to clean up after just baking an amazing Homemade Ck Potpie!, Toddler screaming Up, Up, almost tripping me every two seconds. Me just getting in the way while she is still trying to clean. Take little one and place her in her high chair so she can watch daddy bake bread. She starts screaming. Everyone's frustrated, both of us are getting in each others way, both too stubborn to give in, baby shits herself.Once everything was done spent the night cuddled under a blanket eating sharing a plate of fresh bread with the wife till she fell asleep.also, bread turned out ok, little dense. Should've worked it more. Maybe less flour.Anyway, while rougher in the moment, I'll take the second one every time. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2Voug9C
