‘I’m the type who is silently annoyed by everything and everyone in the morning’
Sanne is known for her sketch videos on her Instagram channel @laviesanne. She is mother of James (8), Isé (5) and baby Amélie.
Let me make no bones about it: I am a mother with a morning mood. No, I’m not going to rant or grumble all morning. I’m just the type who gets annoyed with everything and everyone in silence, as soon as I’ve ‘opened the shutters’.
“Can’t that baby have some fun?”
To children who ask way too complicated questions at dawn, or who race through the house like a tornado. And what about a significant other who is going to cut his toenails in the morning at ease. (In any case, the fact that he jumps out of bed whistling!) And then a baby who can’t enjoy himself on the shower mat for two minutes so that I can wash my armpits in peace. Oh yes, and my coffee seeping out of the machine too slowly, bloody annoying.
Morning mood
I love my rascals, but in the morning I don’t tolerate much. Oddly enough, I never had that problem before. My mother, a thorough morning person, even drummed us out of bed on time on weekends. That didn’t bother me. By the way, if I’ve played a good night these days, it’s still fine. But yes, sleeping with a six-month-old baby, you know it… And so I get out of bed in the morning completely rotten.
For the children, incidentally, reasonably to hide, for my husband significantly less. I got downright strangling when he recently thought he should start talking about my arsenal of bags at seven o’clock and that it started to bother him. “Then you put them in the hands, don’t you?!” I snapped at him. “Otherwise just buy your own house where everything is cleaned up to your idiotic standards!!!” I continued. I was shocked myself.

Getting emotions
I only begin to live when the day has got under way, when I’ve made it again to deliver the kids to school on time and the mess of the morning has been put aside. Usually I then conclude that my emotions have run away with me again. And invariably I promise myself not to let it happen again. But when I open my eyes the next morning, the solemn promise of the day before has disappeared like snow in the sun.
