‘Shopping with my children is the biggest hell’

No wonder grocery shopping isn’t your favorite hobby, with two of those little rascals turning the whole store upside down if you look away for just one second.

Lena (38): “As a single parent of two boys, Tijmen (3) and Levi (6), I have to keep all the balls up. After a full day with those two energy bombs you can pick me up. I think the biggest hell is shopping with them. As I fill up my cart, I keep an eye out that they don’t pull a jar of peas out of the compartment or open a bag of chips (both really happened!).

Make a jar of it

Last summer, footballs were sold in the supermarket. Levi’s been nagging for a ball like that for weeks, but we’ve got plenty at home. On a day when you could already pick me up from fatigue, the boys had escaped my attention in an unguarded moment.

“I didn’t know how quickly I had to drag my two crooks out of the store with the blush of shame on my cheeks”

Suddenly I heard a lot of noise. Levi and Tijmen had thought of playing ‘a game of football’ and so they kicked such a ball through the supermarket. Fortunately, the damage was not too bad, but I did not know how quickly I had to drag my two crooks out of the store with the blush of shame on my cheeks.”
