You know you are a mum when.......

[lou33]

You find yourself double knotting your thongs that tie up at the side.

thongs at the side?

I'm assuming you're not talking underwer here...?

think I am too old and ppost natal for this thread..

when your shoulder stinks of baby sick

you boobs leak when Interviewing staff for ds1 s school

Yeh the ones that have pretty ribbons that tie up in lovely bows on each side. Always hope for dh to rip them undone with his teeth but it never happens...sighs... oops or maybe noone else wears them?

I am new convert to those trunky shortes style pants. Thay are great.

You know you're a mum when you enthuse about Big Pants!

You know you're a Mum when you don't care that the big pants are inside out and back to front. They're clean aren't they?

and NOT ironed

Cods, I tried a pair of those and looked like a shotputter.

....when the first thing you look at on new clothes is the wash label....

Im sorry - you iron your pants?! How did you ever have time!

you iz triple knottin' wiv ballet dancer 'an teddy beads...

You find yourself sitting there watching Maisy/Thomas the Tank Engine/Sesame Street etc etc, long after ds has wandered off to do something else.

(And you know all the characters' names from all the kids' shows, plus all the words to the theme songs.)

you cut your hair above shoulder level to stop baby throwing up in it and you never know what day it is, what you were going to do or even your name.

I agree with the smell one - your shoulder smells of baby dribble/milk posset.

You look out at your clothes line and see little clothes on it and nappies blowing in the wind.

when your house looks like toysRus after a tornado

when your clothes smell of fermenting milk - you've been peed on and you don't bother changing.

when you don't have any capital letters in your typing!

You actually start paying attention to K Shoes and thinking, hmmm, they look comfy and practical.

you're still at the computer over 2 hours later cos dd is still asleep in arms - oh dear!

you go clothes shopping - on your own - have to restrain yourself from 'just picking up' a couple of delectable mini-items, and look gloomily at the cheapo stuff for yourself.

Shorts pants look great, incidentally - am going to start wearing them asap!
