18 days post-partum and I took both kids out today... My 3 year old daughter looked lovely and cute in pig-tail bunches and a cute outfit. Little man looked fresh and cute after a warm bath.. I took time with them making sure they were presentable and because they were ready I quickly threw on any old outfit and left the house. As I shut the front door I looked down at my navy blue casual skirt and my old grey sandals and white top... ‘not bad’ I thought. I had managed to pull myself together ... I felt pleased with myself, but the feeling was very short lived. I looked on in horror at my legs that had visible hairs proudly showing themselves off to the world. I hadn’t shaved my legs🤦🏽♀️ ...
Once upon a time this would’ve sent me straight back inside, to the bathroom, reaching for a razor or my electric shaver. I surprised myself when I shrugged my shoulders and began to walk towards the car - baby sleeping in the baby car seat I was carrying and 3 year old happily in towe. Why didn’t I go back to shave? Well you mums will know from experience that if I went back indoors to shave, my 3 year old would suddenly throw a tantrum about the sky being blue and get annoyed because I can’t explain to her why she can’t change its colour to pink (her favourite colour at the moment). After that, baby would do a random poo explosion and would require a whole outfit change and the cat would’ve eaten the goldfish and knocked over the fish water in the process. I would’ve slipped on the fish water and hurt myself and eventually abandoned the whole outing all together in favour of going to A&E to assess my injuries...By the way we don’t have pets ... but with kids anything can happen lol...
All in all, going out without shaving my legs was a small price to pay for a peaceful outing with two kids!!! I know some of you mums and dads reading this can so relate!
