Hell-oween
posted in Mom Rants |When your nanny is a non-believer, and you have to pretty much work all day on the festive occasion (albeit from home), you overcompensate on your child’s Halloween activities ahead of time.
You embarass an innocent and pure child by making him wear uncomfortable headgear at least 3 times before actual celebratory day solely because it’s really funny to look at.
You drag such child to a big parade fit with marching band where, while not wearing ridiculous headgear, child refuses to sit in designated “party wagon.”
You conduct pre-Halloween kiddie party in your basement where goldfish crumbs are more interesting than paid entertainment.
You make amateur-hour Martha Stewart looking cookies with messy, gooey orange icing that refuses to wash out of “stain resistant” carpet.
You refuse to actively participate in festivities on the actual day of Halloween because the battle of the headpiece just isn’t worth it and you’re tired. I swear Halloween wasn’t this hellish last year. It’s not supposed to be stressful, is it?
