In a resume for work, you often post skills that the employer might find helpful for the job to which you are applying. Similarly, if someone were applying for the job of “mom of young kids,” the following skills might be helpful to have on your resume. Hope this gives you a good laugh!
- Ability to function well on minimal sleep (without biting everyone’s head off)
- Ability to text (proper spelling/grammar) while holding a squirmy, fussy baby
- Ability to inhale your food at a moment’s notice (or you may not get to eat at all)
- Ability to hold a half asleep baby while using the restroom…and then pull up your pants
- Ability to clean up messes or pick up items…with your feet/toes
- Ability to calmly and safely drive while tuning out crying, whining, shrieking, yelling, fighting, thrown toys, and your name being called fifty times
- Ability to gracefully maneuver car seats, and children in car seats…without banging your head or theirs
- Ability to talk sweetly to (and not yell at) your baby or toddler after they just gave you a black eye (ouch!)
- Ability to change poopy diapers with a squirmy baby on your lap, while sitting in the driver’s seat of your car
- Ability to count your blessings and to remember that, in the end, it’s all worth it!
