I have an outrageous daydream.
The ambiance is soothing, lights dimmed just right. The bed is inviting, sheets slightly rumpled. My partner gently guides me onto the bed. “Shhhh…” he murmurs before planting a soft kiss on my lips. He leans in close and whispers, “I’ve got the kids covered.”
He tucks the blankets snugly around me, turns off the lights, and then…
He exits the room to allow me some much-needed sleep. Honestly, in that moment, he’s never been more attractive, and my affection for him has never been deeper.
These days, my daydreams have shifted from steamy escapades to simpler, yet seemingly more elusive moments. Since diving headfirst into the chaos of motherhood, most of my fantasies revolve around one thing: sleep.
Here are 25 more outrageous daydreams—the mom version:
- Children who sleep in past 6 a.m.
- Enjoying a book without illustrations.
- Engaging in a dialogue without referring to myself in the third person.
- Getting snuggled in at 7:55 p.m. after a soothing bath. (What’s a nightmare for one toddler can be a dream for a mom.)
- Laundry that magically folds itself.
- Math homework that actually makes sense.
- Chocolate that promotes weight loss and calorie-free wine.
- Everyone in the family enjoying the same meal without complaints.
- Caillou disappearing from the airwaves.
- A minivan that remains tidy for more than 14 minutes.
- Using the bathroom with the door closed—and it stays that way.
- A girls’ night out.
- A girls’ night in, where real pants are optional.
- Enjoying solitude at home.
- Having a phone conversation without interruptions like “Mom, he won’t stop licking me!”
- Watching a basketball game without the barrage of erectile-dysfunction commercials and the awkward questions that follow.
- Nine uninterrupted hours of slumber. Okay, six hours of sleep would suffice.
- Socks that always find their way back to their mates.
- Fitting into pre-baby jeans.
- Not having to wear jeans or a bra at all.
- Children who actually listen.
- Kids who refrain from whining.
- Children who are kind, happy, and confident.
- Little ones who love us.
- Kids who truly understand how much we care for them.
Alright, the last three may not seem particularly wild or crazy. In fact, they might even be achievable. It’s possible, even likely. And you know what? Those realistic dreams make all the other outrageous ones worthwhile.
