Dear Family,
I’ve reached my limit. Contrary to your beliefs, I am not a walking GPS for all household items. Sure, I might appear to possess extraordinary skills—like spotting you sneaking into my chocolate supply from a distance—but I assure you, I am not your personal finder of lost belongings. Yes, I am adept at managing various tasks, from bribing you into completing chores to ensuring peace during long car rides. I can even coax smiles during family photo sessions, despite the grumbling. I’ll admit, I am quite good, maybe even amazing, at these things.
However, when you stand practically in the fridge, squinting to find milk that’s nearly touching your nose, my patience wears thin. This is when I start losing my cool, and we both know that’s not pretty.
It seems you’ve all perfected the art of misplacing items. The assumption that I know where every single object is located does not impress me at all. Honestly, I don’t want to carry that burden any longer.
And just a side note: if you’re looking for butter, it has always been in the butter dish in the cupboard. If it’s empty, grab a stick from the fridge. If there’s none in there, we’re out. Got it?
I’m not playing hide-and-seek with your belongings for amusement. My time is too valuable, and I have better things to do than create a scavenger hunt for you all.
I can’t tell if you think it’s funny to make me lose my mind or if you genuinely believe I have a clue where your left sneaker went. The truth is, I can barely recall where I put my car keys, so stop asking me to locate everything you misplace each day.
If you’re unsure whether we’re out of something, trust me when I say it would be more productive to search for it yourself rather than yell, “Mom! Where are my favorite sweats?!” How many times must I lose my composure before you realize this approach is futile?
Perhaps if you took better care of your belongings and returned them to their designated spots, you wouldn’t be searching through chaos constantly. Just a thought, my dear children and partner.
Imagine how it feels for me when I’m just as puzzled as you are about the milk being an inch from your face. I can’t keep bailing you out—you need to take initiative. I’ve always believed in your ability to conquer any challenge, including locating your art supplies. The urgency in your voice indicates you want them badly, so get to it, my little superstar.
I’m juggling the task of keeping you all alive while ensuring your schedules are packed so you don’t complain about boredom—a skill I take pride in. So, you can see why I can’t spare time to hunt down your library book.
Now, where on Earth are my keys?!
