Chaos Diaries: The Roblox Takeover of My PC
Hi world. Hi blog peoples out there (all 3 of you — hi mum 👋). I thought I’d start making this blog a little more personal. Less “10 autism tips” and more “here’s the unfiltered chaos of my life.”
Because honestly, if I don’t laugh about it here, I’ll cry into my wine later (and I’ve just realised I’m out of lemonade for it — send help).
So, here we go…
Today Was Hard.
We’re knee-deep in the 6 weeks holidays. You know that point where the kids are bored of everything? Yeah. That.
Soft play? Done it. Park? Over it. TV? They fight over the remote.
There’s only so much I can take before I start Googling “Is boarding school a thing for toddlers?”
Nobody wants to get dressed, but I’m like, please let me leave the house before I lose my mind. Except… then they don’t want to leave the house either. Catch-22.
Isaac the “Gamer” 🎮
Isaac (he’s 5) has decided he’s a gamer. And by gamer, I mean he’s seen my friend’s son — who is actually a gamer — and decided to copy him.
So there he is, sat with my work headset on. Not a cool gamer headset. Nope. A call-centre headset. And it’s not even plugged in. But he looks deadly serious, like he’s about to close a big insurance deal.
And of course, Isla (3) copies everything he does. So she now wants in on this “gaming career.” Which means I’ve had to buy a separate controller so she doesn’t scream the house down.
Result? They’ve fully taken over my PC. For Roblox. Except… they don’t actually know how to play. So what I get is two children screaming at the top of their lungs because they can’t figure it out, while I try to hide in the kitchen pretending I don’t exist.
Leaving the House (Bad Idea)
So, naturally, I thought: Let’s get out of the house. Fresh air will help.
We went to see family. Which was fine… until they got bored there too. Then came the fighting, the tantrums, the “mum, I’m hungry” even though they’d eaten 3 minutes ago.
So now we’re back home. They’re still arguing. I’m still hiding. And I’m still out of lemonade for my wine.
The End.
That’s it. That’s the day. When’s bedtime? Because I need it to be 9pm like, yesterday.
💬 Over to You
So yeah, this is me being more real here. Do you actually want to know about this stuff? What do you need help with? What kind of chaos are YOU dealing with right now? Comment, share, send me your stories. Let’s laugh (and cry) together.
Because if motherhood has taught me anything, it’s that none of us actually know what we’re doing — we’re all just winging it with a mop in one hand and cold coffee in the other. 💜
