We all know there’s mess everywhere for everyone, otherwise the “joke” wouldn’t land. The sad reality is that the “joke” is our daily harried existence. We definitely don’t need the added pressure of having to performatively pretend otherwise on top of it all.
Perhaps to help out with the nonsense we ought to all post the dual views of the “fantasy” and the “reality”?
Here’s mine which features an impromptu Ikea table crammed into the living room and just feet from the bathroom, the tiny laundry closet, and the kitchen because the “home office” is overly occupied. Notice the hats/shirts/sweaters for days on which self-care has been neglected and I need to throw on something vaguely presentable to appear on camera for a minute or two. (Note: munchkin removed for privacy, but you can see her work six inches from mine.)
the sideways angle on reality is a nice touch.
did you break into my house?
If I had, I’d have lifted a copy of your book! Instead I ordered an electronic copy. Can’t wait to read it.
Incidentally, the URL for it in your Twitter bio doesn’t resolve.
Syndicated copies:
Love it! Thanks. Hope the e-version comes with the pictures. Let me know if not & I’ll mail you a copy–there are quite a few lying around here. (I bought up the last of the Aust distributors’ copies–after bargaining them down 😂.)
I love this! Here’s my contribution. (Yes there is a sleeping child in my “office” and a mess, always a mess)
