You Know You’re A Mom When-sDaze

Posted on November 3, 2010 Written by Tonya

You know you’re a mom when…

  • All dignity and modesty has gone right out the window because your tot regularly uses your boobs as armrests, often pulls and/or lifts your shirt down and/or up in public, you pee with an audience and have zero qualms about throwing away a poppy diaper away in a public place.
  • You hold doors open for other mothers with strollers because you’ve been there and it’s difficult to maneuver even for the best of us.
  • You are able to tune out other people’s children’s outbursts. If it’s not yours, you’re not concerned.
  • Time passes too quickly when you’re surrounded by friends and wine is involved, but moves at a snail’s pace when it’s just you and your child.
  • Believe all modern conveniences; Starbucks, your favorite sandwich shop, the post office and dry cleaner should be offered in the drive through variety.
  • Nothing brings you more joy than observing your child play, learn and grow on their own.

    I find myself going a little out of my way lately to help moms with strollers and other baby stuff too. I have a whole new appreciate for all of them.

    Awesome once again! I always have much more sympathy for the stroller moms, or those with one on one hip and the groceries on the other. And yeah, I was once a modest soul….then came kids.

    Love it! Especially the part of drive-thru's everywhere!

    So sweet!

    I get so annoyed when I see childless people in the Starbucks drive-thru. I think it should be reserved for mothers with children in carseats!

    And yes, time does seem to move so slowly. What is it exactly that we are waiting for though?
