This was actually a parental tweet that was submitted to me by Tami from Three In The Bed, but I loved it so much that I made it into a pie chart. Actually, if I'm going to be truthful, I spent the better part of my day creating this stupid thing because every free pie chart maker site I found made the thing look hideous.
Anyway, if it were my pie chart, it would probably read a bit differently. For instance I see no slice for SNOT. What would your parenting pie chart be? Who knows— maybe there's a weekly feature in this…
Wine’s my vodka, otherwise that’s pretty accurate. Also, there’s embarrassing myself, but I’m not sure that’s unique to motherhood.
I’d have wine clocking in at 50% fo sho
Love it! I’d say it’s: 33% sleepless nights, 27% alcohol (I’m not exclusive here, even mouthwash will do sometimes), 20% devastating cuteness, 10% projectile vomit and 10% disapproval from strangers.
Does it even add up? To think I used to be a maths teacher…
That’s hysterical.
Yes, I’ve been plotting my own pie-chart in my mind.
It’ll be one of my Wednesday illustrated posts sometime in the new few weeks I’m sure.
But…only 30% vodka?
SOMEONE isn’t trying hard enough.
I would add about 65% to diet coke. And 3% for skimming Us, InTouch and People.
If you are talking specifically about yourself, I would say it’s not so much embarrassing yourself, as genuinely giving a rat’s ass what other people think. Combined of course with a love of the spotlight. It’s what I love about you.
(I think I just started to form a Natasha pie chart).
I would sub wine for vodka too.
I’ll probably use this and link back to you a some point. Disapproval from strangers- Love it!
Point taken. I will work on my alcohol intake and post another pie chart. Increased alcohol intake will probably come out of bath time.
I am very pleased that none of your time is going towards “Hello”- that magazine SUCKS.
Bravo on the pie chart! We hosted my husband’s 14 yo cousin for 4 days last weekend. She’s very well-behaved, but I was still driven to drink more than usual. I’d say about 50% of the chart. The feigned interest wasn’t too difficult – I think she had a hard time pretending to be interested in us.
Good point. I would imagine as the kid gets older your feigned interest in them switches to their feigned interest in you.
