A woman's experience of how her toddler locked himself in the room reminded me of what happened to me few days back😂
A few days ago, my son locked himself inside the room… and what followed? 😩
At first, I thought he was just being stubborn and making noise. I was already getting upset because my baby was sleeping, and I didn’t want him to wake up.
I even sent the small boy helping me to quietly bring him out and close the door…
Next thing he said:
“Aunty, the door is locked.”
My heart?
It didn’t just skip. It ran a full marathon.
I rushed there, still angry at first
“Open the door the way you locked it!” I almost screamed at my toddler.
And this boy calmly said…
“mummy I cannot open it"
Chim! 🙆♀️
At that point, my mind traveled to places I cannot even explain.
Fear replaced anger immediately.
To make matters worse, my phone was plugged on the extension and my son loves going near that extension 😭
Different thoughts just flooding my head at once.
After panicking small, thinking of what to do, God helped me , I remembered there was an iron tool in the house.
Omo… I didn’t think twice.
I used it and scattered the door k**b completely just to get him out.
Door k**b: gone
My peace of mind: gone
But my children: SAFE 🙏
Honestly, this motherhood journey ehn…
Nobody prepares you for these mini heart attacks we experience almost daily.
One minute you’re forming strict mummy…
Next minute your heart is in your mouth praying, “God abeg!” 😭
But let me tell you one thing I realized after everything 👀
After moments like this…
your body is shaking
you’re tired
your energy is low
…and your toddler will still look at you like:
“Mummy, food?” 😩
That moment?
You don’t need stress…

That’s why I always keep dates & groundnut powder close 💛
