You know your a parent when...

[FantasticHarryPotter]

Share your delights from pregnancy to your 'kids' being 50 - what's a sure sign you're a parent.

you know you're a parent when...
• half the people you talk to call you (child's name)'s Mum.
• you don't know who is number 1 in the charts but you know all the theme songs to the CBeebies shows.
• wet wipes are essential at all times even just a walk to the park.
• no is 15% of your fault vocabulary.

Daily no idea where fault came from. 😀

you realise you’re the mum of babies when you find yourself rocking from foot to foot even when you’re not holding them. my husband said he does it at work!

Also realise it's you're but hey ho.

When you find yourself regularly saying things like "Don't touch the poo!" or anything to do with wee wees*

*I'm currently potty training!

When you find lego in your bed

When having a bath yourself requires first moving ten squirts toys, an entire alphabet of foam letters, two flannels and a plastic submarine before you can start.....

You rock the cat, pat its bum and go 'shhhh' when it comes up for a cuddle.

Your shoulders and legs are always a bit crusty from having noses wiped on them.

When you can't remember the last lay in you had......or full night sleep fir that matter.

When you can suddenly clean the entire house in the time it takes an episode of teletubbies to play.....and then spend the rest of the day humming its theme tune!

When you realise that you could genuinely solve the housing crisis by using dried porridge instead of cement, thereby drastically bringing down the cost of building materials.🙄

There's a duplo man in the bottom of your laptop bag.

Every coat you own has a pack if tissues in the pocket.

You accidentally 'ah-ah' (i.e. 'no, don't do that' ) your DH in the middle of an argument

When... you carry on watching the kids programmes, even when there is no child in the room, just so you can see how it ends!

You excitedly say 'Look! A tractor ' and then realise you have a work colleague in your car - not the tractor mad little fella you were thinking of ! And then you realise they are looking at you like you are potty !

When you are about to go to bed and realise you have watched a whole evenings worth of Cartoon Network on your own because you are so used to having it on it didnt occur to you to turn over.

Teen Titans is good but We Bare Bears is my favourite with Apple and Onion (with Richard Ayoade) a close second by the way.......

The back seat of your car, instead of being ne'er used and clean is in fact host to unidentified sticky residues of various origins, at least three (empty) boxes of snacks, two abandoned water bottles, assorted small toys and with a restaurant box of crayons scattered across it.....

When you shout "FIAT 500!" with your boss in the car because you forgot that a) he isnt your child and b) he doesnt know the rules to the Fiat 500 game anyway.....

You find conkers in your handbag that you didn't put there.

You have two make up bags. One for you and one for dd (3) so she can do her make up at the same time as you.

rocking from foot to foot even when you’re not holding them
this! embarrassingly did this at a wedding holding a glass of fizz... not a baby.
so many to choose from but current favourites are ....
you cant remember the last time you were alone
or
it takes 30 mins to leave the house for a 15 minute journey (school run with baby and toddler. joy of joys)

When you sit in front of another person on the toilet cheering every time another poo hits the water... yay!

We are also potty training. 🙈

You haven't finished a slice of toast yourself since the glorious post labour toast. (Well since your baby weaned at least 😂) I swear my two year old can hear me biting from the other room and runs in.

Or you narrate things falling etc by saying OH NO.

UH OH is the refrain to our day.

Also, you refer to yourself in the third person. 'Mummy is just going to the loo, darling, are you coming too?'

@Spudlet yess! I found myself referring to myself as mummy to my 18 year old sister in my car the other day

When your idea of a lie in at the weekend is 7am

Walking through London with important client and pointing out a lovely big crane/digger.
