You Know You’re a Mom

Published on by ohlala80Leave a comment

You know you’re a mom when you have to think twice before saying yes to a great night out with friends (who will take care of the kids?)

You know you’re a mom when it’s not what you like to wear anymore but rather what would be most comfortable while handling the kids

You know you’re a mom when you become an expert at removing spits, spills and stains from any kind of fabric

You know you’re a mom when you can’t remember the last time you slept a continuous 8 hours

You know you’re a mom when you’ve bathed the kids, fed the baby, prepared lunch, put away laundry, checked your days schedule only to realize you’re still in your p.j’s!

You know you’re a mom when after a long day of lecturing and disciplining the kids, you start to miss them the second they go to bed

You know you’re a mom when you start to miss your own mom and feel that no words or actions could truly repay how much she sacrificed for you

You know you’re a mom when you suddenly start to realize how spoilt and pampered you were before you became a mom

You know you’re a mom when you start to see the softer and more vulnerable side of your own parents who you used to think of as super heros

You know you’re a mom when it’s more important to you how the kids will react to a situation or event before you even start to consider you’re own feelings about the matter

You know you’re a mom when there’s this constant feeling of guilt hovering over you every time you are somewhere without the kids

You know you’re a mom when you can’t imagine how life was before being a mom

You know you’re a mom when you can find faults in every school, hospital or playground. 

You just know you’re a mom when while writing this you are also thinking about upcoming doctor appointments for the kids, school uniforms to lay out, and another days meal plan to prepare…
