As a dedicated professional and a parent, I often find myself reflecting on the unique challenges of balancing work and home life. Here are twenty reasons why I appreciate my supervisor at the office much more than my little one at home:

1. My supervisor doesn’t insist on accompanying me to the restroom.
2. He refrains from using my clothing as a tissue.
3. When I sit down to tackle paperwork, my supervisor doesn’t rush in with a box of crayons demanding to “help.”
4. Lunchtime is genuinely enjoyable, as I’m spared from food being spat and little hands reaching for my meal.
5. I don’t have to physically restrain my supervisor during a meltdown or sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” on repeat to soothe him.
6. I can focus on my tasks without constant pleas for screen time as soon as I log in.
7. Unlike my toddler, my supervisor compensates me for my work, while my little one claims everything as “MINE!”
8. The afternoons at work are significantly more peaceful, devoid of nap-time battles.
9. My office is a hazard-free environment since my supervisor doesn’t engage in biting, pinching, or kicking.
10. I am grateful that my supervisor doesn’t parade around in just his underwear and a cape.
11. He never announces bodily functions beforehand, and there are no uproarious laughs following them.
12. I seldom need to remind him to use an appropriate speaking volume.
13. My toddler insists on being completely undressed to use the bathroom, while my supervisor does not share this peculiar habit.
14. The office surroundings are well-maintained, with no need for my supervisor to “water” the plants, unlike my toddler who feels compelled to “sprinkle” them.
15. Getting into the car for appointments is hassle-free; my supervisor can buckle himself in, unlike my slippery toddler.
16. My supervisor doesn’t hide behind my legs when encountering clients, avoiding that awkward “peek-a-boo” scenario.
17. It’s remarkable to complete an entire day without hearing about anyone’s itching discomfort. That’s a rarity at home!
18. My supervisor doesn’t stomp his foot and demand to do everything himself, although a bit of independence could be refreshing at times.
19. Surprisingly, he can put his shoes on the correct feet without assistance on the first try.
20. After years of working with the same team, I can confidently say I’ve never heard a high-pitched, urgent call for help like the one that echoes from my home. “All done, come and wiiiiipe me!” is a phrase I’ve yet to encounter in the corporate world.
