You love your kids. Seriously. You’d do just about anything for them. And that’s why you drag your little pop-up folding chair out to the frost-covered soccer field at 8 a.m. on a frigid Saturday morning just to watch them run up and down the field and possibly kick the ball. Yeah, you’d totally be up for a mid-game nap. But what would the other soccer moms think? Well, they might give you a big ol’ round of applause.
Mama, blogger and author Glennon Doyle Melton spied a mom doing what we all dream of — cat-napping the morning away at her kiddo’s soccer game. Melton recently posted a pic on Instagram of another mother sleeping on the sidelines of her child’s soccer game, writing, “On this Thursday morning: I give you MY NEW HERO: This soccer mom at my kid’s last game.”
She went on to add, “Whilst all the other moms stood on the sidelines with great concern and worry and volume: this hero laid her body down on the ground, her head down on her purse, and her jacket over her face – and napped.”
Hey, sometimes a mom just needs to rest her head and nap. We’re also giving it up to this tired mama who is doing something we all fantasize about — taking care of herself.
Have you ever napped at your child’s sporting event? Tell us in the comments below.
