You are eating a fruit Gu pudding and think 'that pot will make a good thruster for the rocket I'm going to build with ds'

You empty your pockets and find string, pebbles, sticks, acorns, feathers, pine cones and tissues but not the thing you actually wanted!

You walk around with blobs of calpol, yoghurt, milk and more on your jeans and you just don't notice anymore..!

you dont care what other peoplethink anymore....

NikkiBFG · 10/06/2007 19:43

You view sex as an opportunity for a lie down rather than the fun it was pre babies!

Scootergrrrl · 10/06/2007 19:44

Your three-hour old ipod already has the Disney Princess and Sound of Music albums on it...

fryalot · 10/06/2007 19:44

you only consider buying a handbag if it will fit in a couple of nappies, packet of wipes and a few toy cars

beansprout · 10/06/2007 19:45

You have caught someone else's vomit in your hands and this was a) intentional and b) a good idea.

Smutti · 10/06/2007 19:47

You go for a ride on a bus - just for the "fun" of it.

kinki · 10/06/2007 19:47

... when you try to rock a sack of potatoes to sleep at the checkout.

beansprout · 10/06/2007 19:48

lol Smutti

You endlessly sing the praises of the Council's library service.

LadyMacbeth · 10/06/2007 19:48

Even when you go away for a romantic break without the children, you are still on a VERY ORGANISED military operation - checking your watch every ten minutes and shouting orders.

compo · 10/06/2007 19:49

instead of telling your friend at the pub 'I'm just off to the loo' you say 'I need to go wee-wee's'

PetitFilou1 · 10/06/2007 19:49

Beansprout weirdly though, don't think I could do that for someone else's child.....

will go with the potatoes one.
i cant stand still without swaying, even once on a night out with dh in a wine bar i started!
lol

Scootergrrrl · 10/06/2007 19:50

I still gently push my trolley backwards and forwards at the checkout, even if I'm completely alone!

lulumama · 10/06/2007 19:52

you say cheerily to DH, before you get in the car, , 'Now, do you need to do a wee wee?'

regardless of who is in the car, when you drive past a field, you say, , 'looooooookk!! loooooookk!! lovely baaa lambs! look...!'

or indeed saying that to anyone over the age of 4!

second the catching vomit...did that with DD a couple of weeks ago, whilst DS looked aghast, and told everyone that we saw for the rest of the week

talcy0 · 10/06/2007 19:52

You answer other peoples children in shops when they say 'mummy?'

Roobie · 10/06/2007 19:55

You find yourself wiping restaurant/cafe tables clean with wet wipes.

kinki · 10/06/2007 19:57

when dh isn't paying attention to you, and you accidently say "I'm going to count to 3 and if you don't listen to me I'm going to..." Whoops, only made that mistake once though.

octo · 10/06/2007 20:02

you use hedrin

you get up from the table 15 times per meal time

you eat biscuits and chocolate in the toilet with the door locked

you play your music in your car really loud not because its cool but to drown out the millionth question of the day/fighting from the back seat

NikkiBFG · 10/06/2007 20:02

pmsl at eating chocs in the loo!!

jackie2kids · 10/06/2007 20:02

You say "Quick sticks!" to a colleague at work.

ProfYaffle · 10/06/2007 20:04

I'll let you know when i feel like one, I still feel like I'm playing at it.

nannyogg · 10/06/2007 20:06

Rofl at octo! All true. I'm still thinking of a quick-fire answer...
