MOTHERHOOD GIVETH & MOTHERHOOD TAKETH AWAY…

STUFF I’M GOOD AT NOW I’M A MUM:

• Multi-tasking
• Taking photos
• Getting organised (ish)
• Waking up early (ish)
• Eating vegetables
• Giving cuddles
• Speaking in that teeth-clenched ‘Don’t mess with me’ voice
• Intuitively knowing when the kids are getting into trouble
• Ensuring I always have change for the Bob the Builder ride
• Behaving like a responsible adult

STUFF I’M CRAP AT NOW I’M A MUM:

• Returning phone calls
• Putting aforementioned photos in an album
• Finishing a book – or even a magazine
• Replying to my 4000+ unopened emails
• Getting to the bottom of the laundry basket
• Watching sad movies without bawling
• Leaving the house in under two hours
• Brushing my hair every day 
• Drinking (hangover + kids = too high a price to pay)
• Behaving like a responsible adult

    very funny, so true- especially the drinking one!

  2. Like it!!! I’m betting you might also be a pro at washing en masse and getting random stains and smells out of clothing!!

    Mrs Bellers: It’s just not worth the hassle anymore, is it? Kids don’t care if you’re moments away from throwing up, and desperately need a snooze!! xx

    Debbie JJ: Some times I feel like I’m actually surgically joined to the washing machine. And what the hell are those stains, anyway?? On second thoughts, don’t tell me… 😉
