I have a delightful daydream. The room is dimly lit, and the bed is invitingly unmade. My partner lovingly guides me onto the bed. “Shhh…” he murmurs, planting a gentle kiss on my lips. He leans in and whispers, “I’ve got the kids covered.” He tucks me in snugly, turns off the lights, and then… he quietly exits the room, allowing me to drift off into blissful sleep. In that moment, he has never appeared more irresistible, and my admiration for him has reached new heights.
As a mother, my dreams have shifted from glamorous escapades to the simple pleasures that often seem just out of reach. Now, most of my fantasies revolve around the sweet embrace of sleep. Here are 25 more whimsical dreams—mom style:
- Kids who sleep in past 6 a.m.
- Enjoying a novel without illustrations.
- Engaging in a chat without referring to myself in the third person.
- Being tucked in at 7:55 p.m. after a soothing bath. (What’s a toddler’s nightmare is truly a mom’s paradise!)
- Laundry that magically folds itself.
- Homework in math that actually makes sense.
- Guilt-free chocolate and calorie-less wine.
- Everyone at the dinner table happily enjoying the same meal.
- The end of Caillou’s airtime.
- A minivan that stays tidy for more than 14 minutes.
- Having a private bathroom moment with the door securely closed.
- A fun girls’ night out.
- A cozy girls’ night in. (Pajama pants preferred.)
- Spending time at home—solo.
- Making phone calls without interruptions like “Mo-om, he won’t stop licking me!”
- Watching a basketball game without being bombarded by awkward erectile dysfunction commercials.
- Nine hours of uninterrupted sleep. Okay, I’ll settle for six. Six hours would be a dream!
- Socks that always find their match in the laundry.
- Fitting back into my pre-baby jeans.
- Not having to wear jeans or a bra at all.
- Kids who actually listen.
- Kids who refrain from whining.
- Kids who grow to be kind, happy, and confident.
- Kids who love us wholeheartedly.
- Kids who truly understand the depth of our love for them.
While the last three may not seem so wild, they do feel achievable. In fact, they may even be—dare I say—likely. And you know what? Those three attainable dreams make all the other whimsical aspirations worthwhile.
