You know you're a mom when...

You know you're a mom when...

When listening to the radio last week, as I always do after I drop the kids off - I was listening to Kellie Rasberry on Kid Kraddic in the Morning - they were talking about how you know you're a mom.  So many things in life change once you become a parent, and everything on the list Kellie was reading was sooo true.
She was referring to an article on Huffington Post: 24 Clear Signs You're a Mom - with reasons like:
1. Instead of running from projectile vomit, you run towards it.

2. You do more in seven minutes than most people do all day.

3. Happy hour has become the 60 minutes between your kids going to bed and you going to bed.

So that inspired me to make my own list.


You know you're a mom when...

...your purse has more snacks and toys than makeup and necessities.

...you've left home without a backup tampon, but never without a backup diaper.

...you can tell which kid has pooped before even checking their diapers.

...you've been peed on at least once, and nobody was drunk.

...you've been vomited on at least once, and nobody was drunk.

...you've hidden in the kitchen/bathroom/closet to enjoy a candy bar without having to share.

...you've let another person wipe snot on your shirt.


What would be on your list?

  2. I can't stop laughing. I have a beautiful purse my husband bought me last year that has seen more exploded baby food pouches, crunched up graham crackers,, loose fries, half melted gummies then an actual wallet, phone or tube of lipstick. Mine would be: you know you're a mom when you choose the longest line at Walmart on the rare occasion you get to go by yourself to enjoy the alone time.

  3. Haha...this is so true:) The only thing that doesn't match with me on your list is the first one. My purse is MY purse, with only my things:) I have always had another bag for kids stuff.

  4. This is so true, I can relate to almost all of these things, and I am not a mom just a nanny.
