In what world did I think that choosing wings for dinner would be a good idea. Don’t get me wrong they were good, we got a new air fryer for Christmas and I was all about the idea when my husband bought them. I got them going before Tyler got home from working late, Gemma our almost 8 month old was content and enjoyed playing with daddy why I was finishing things up.
Now we sit down for dinner with a somewhat fussy baby who only napped 45 minutes today versus her normal 3 hours. Not two minutes in my husband had to go to the bathroom and is gone. In this moment our darling baby decides I am clearly not feeding her fast enough and goes into a fit which unless I keep feeding her quickly she continues on. Pretty typical of any baby her age as they learn, but defiantly in a baby you know is a little cranky the last thing you want to make her day more difficult from not napping.
Now I happened to make somewhat spicy wings so clearly did not want that near her. I am right handed but somewhat ambidextrous, luckily. I say somewhat because I can’t write left handed and eating a wing left handed was not my greatest choice. For whatever reason my hands kinda do the same thing as each other if I’m not paying g attention when I use them at the same time ( no clue if this is normal or not). So here I m focused on feeding the baby starving, but not realizing that I am eating a chicken wing more like I am eating off a spoon.
My husband came back in looking at me a little odd after he sat back down. I’m sure at this point nothing surprises him! It’s these moments when I realize what I’m doing and he’s sweet enough to just let it go until I acknowledge myself as being a little off.
I have no clue how you moms who don’t have a good ability to feed yourself with your non-dominant hand do it! So next time you do something silly and think why am I doing this or I hope no one noticed. Remember me eating a chicken wing off an imaginary spoon. Maybe we just learn how to adjust, but seriously another hand or two would be great or more blood flow to my distracted mom brain!
