Really?!?!?!?!

Every weekend one of both boys will peek into my room in the mornings to see if I am awake yet, and most of the time it is because they are hungry. They have always come into my room in the mornings ever since they were able to walk. Now that they are teenagers they are quiet and just look round the door and if I am still asleep they sneak off back to their rooms. But when they were younger they would come in and in the obvious style of self-absorbed infants and children it was irrelevant if my eyes were open or closed they would just begin talking. Now the oldest would climb into my bed and either go back to sleep or want to watch something, but the youngest would always have some random, unnecessary and quite frankly annoying question, especially as it was always at stupid o'clock and I was not ready to wake up. Now I know there are some parents that are so enamoured and besotted with their children that they fully engage in every inquisitive and fascinating question or thought their children have.........yeah I'm not one of those parents.

His questions would range from "Mum, do slugs have eyelids?" to "Mum, if you had a super power what would it be?" Most of the time my answer would be "I have no idea" or "I don't care", because seriously at 6am I am not thinking about whether slugs have eyelids and to demonstrate how much I didn't care, I still don't know the answer. Now maybe that makes me a bad mum and I should pay attention more, but if you have kids then you know that you wake up tired, it is almost a prerequisite of being a mum that you will forever remain sleep deprived, so with that being said, I do not care what, if any, super powers I can choose from or whether slugs have eyelids or if I was the last person on earth what I would do first or how I would save people if I could teleport or why my eyelashes are only a certain length. I just don't care, because what little sleep I can get I want to enjoy it and wake up by myself. Surely I cant be the only parent that feels like this, or just maybe I am. And it I am then I'm OK with that.
