Children are a blessing. We all love our kids and when they arrive into our lives everything changes. You become a parent and its a big step in life to care for your very own little human. Everyone will tell you over and over how much your life will change when you become a parent. What they might not tell you is how the most mundane task that you might think you can still do by yourself or for yourself. Kids love to learn and follow you around like everywhere. Here is a list of:
5 Things Mum’s Are Not Allow To Do:
1 ~ Mum’s Are Not Allowed To Use The Bathroom Alone
If you want to use the toilet you can just forget it. It seems as if kids have a sixth sense for when you need to do you business. They come banging on the door, tiny little fingers poking through the gap under the door. They seem to ask ridiculous questions or request as soon as they hear the door close behind you. Don’t even get me started on showers. My shower is in a different room of its own and the door does shut properly. That means as soon as my younger children hear the water running they start stripping down until they are bare bum and just invite themselves to my shower. You will have an audience for everything because using the toilet is just so fascinating to kids.
2 ~ Mum’s Can’t Have Food To Themselves
I don’t know what it is with kids. You make them their own food and they will just pick at it. It could be their most favourite food in the world that they have been begging for days. They still wont eat it. But as soon as you make something for yourself or have a plate in your hands. They suddenly turn into seagulls. Even if you are eating the same food as them, they somehow believe that your food it better. You are going to have to find a great hiding spot to eat your food because kids have a nose for food.
3 ~ Mums Can’t Get Ready When They Want
Unless you are wonder woman and can just spin around in a circle to get ready. Forget about it. I hope you love an audience because you will have help getting dressed. Showing alone will be a thing of the past. There will be at least one child outside the door or in the bathroom. You will be halfway through you makeup and at least on of your kids is crying. Leaving the house with only one eye makeup completely finished will become a regular thing when you are a mum. I have left with one eyebrow done and my contouring not blended once before. It looked like my kids had attacked me with crayon. You will learn pretty quick to have backup makeup in your handbag or glove-box.
4 ~ Mum’s Are Not Allowed To Be Sick
Mums do not get sick. Well we do, but we are not allowed to. We are an important part of out kids daily lives and if we need to hide in bed we can’t. There are no sick days. To your kids the world will end if you are sick. Who is going to take them to their sports classes. Make their lunch, drive them around. Mum’s don’t get sick, it is forbidden. We must battle on. But as some as the kids are sick you are now their maid and nurse. But that’s ok because we love and want our kids to feel better. Even if we are sick at the same time everyone else comes first. Its our unwritten duty,
5 ~ Mum’s Can’t Watch TV Whenever They Want
There is always something that needs doing. Most people believe house-mums have the luxury of sitting down all day and watching TV whenever we want. Sorry to burst your bubble but that is not true at all. Our kids dominate the TV when it is actually turned on. Cartoons all day, yay. No TV for us mums. We have children to feed, laundry to wash, a house to clean. The best part is when it looks like you have finally got everything clean and orderly you will turn around to admire your work. only to notice the kids have been walking behind you pulling messing everything up making memories. It is a never ending cycle.
