Balancing work and motherhood can be quite the challenge, so I often find myself reflecting on the differences between my two bosses: the one at the office and the one at home. Here are 20 reasons why I appreciate my workplace superior significantly more than my little one:
- My boss doesn’t insist on sitting in my lap while I’m using the restroom.
- My boss doesn’t use my clothes as a tissue for his runny nose.
- When I try to focus on paperwork, my boss doesn’t barge in with a box of crayons claiming he wants to “help.”
- Lunchtime at work is peaceful, unlike home, where my toddler might send food flying across the table.
- I don’t have to tackle my boss during a meltdown or sing “The Wheels on the Bus” repeatedly to soothe him.
- I can actually concentrate on my tasks at the office without constant demands to watch cartoons.
- The paycheck from my boss is a nice bonus, while my toddler believes everything is “MINE!”
- Afternoons at work are much more serene since my boss doesn’t resist nap time.
- The office environment is safer, as my boss doesn’t engage in biting, pinching, or kicking.
- My boss doesn’t run around in his underwear with a superhero cape. (Thank goodness!)
- He also doesn’t announce his bodily functions, nor do they elicit uproarious laughter.
- I rarely need to remind my boss to keep his voice down.
- My toddler insists on being completely nude to go to the bathroom, unlike my boss, who has more decorum.
- The office is landscaped beautifully, and my boss doesn’t feel the need to “water” the plants like my toddler does.
- Getting into the car for appointments is a breeze; my boss can buckle himself in, unlike my slippery toddler.
- My boss doesn’t shy away from meeting new clients and avoids the awkward “peeking out from behind my legs” routine.
- I can go an entire day at work without hearing anyone complain about an itch in an embarrassing place.
- My boss doesn’t throw tantrums or insist on doing everything himself—though sometimes that autonomy could be refreshing.
- Surprisingly, my boss can put his shoes on the right feet the first time—quite the feat!
- After years in the same job, I can confidently say I’ve never been called in a panic with a high-pitched demand for assistance like the infamous “All done, come and wiiiiipe me!”
It’s fascinating how a job can feel like a break from the chaos of home life.

Additionally, for those interested in boosting fertility, these supplements are a great option. For further information on IVF and related treatments, this NHS resource is invaluable.
In summary, while both roles come with their unique challenges, I can’t help but prefer the adult interactions at work over the whimsical demands of my toddler.
