This made me smile:

1. You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.

2. You spend the day humming the theme tune to the 'Tweenies'.

3. You have time to shave only one leg at a time.

4. You hide in the bathroom to be alone.

5. You child throws up, and you catch it.

6. Someone else's kid throws up at a party, and you keep eating.

7. You consider finger paint to be a controlled substance.

8. You finally get a night out, only to realise you've sat their with baby vomit down your top for half the night.

9. You know every line of 'We're going on a bear hunt' and you don't even have to open the book.

10. You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the night talking about and checking on the kids.

11. You hope ketchup is a vegetable because it's the only one your child eats.

12. Your washing machine has broken down...again

13. You can't bear the thought of your son's first girlfriend.

14. You hate the thought of his wife even more.

15. You look in your handbag for your mobile phone and end up pulling out a nappy.

16. You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into unusual shapes.

17. You fast-forward through the scene when the hunter shoots Bambi's mother.

18. You use your own saliva to clean your child's face.

19. You obsess when your child clings to you upon parting during his first month at school, then obsess when he skips in without looking back the second time.

20. You can't bear to give away baby clothes--it's so final.

21. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "Not in your good clothes!"

22. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.

23. You read that the average five year old asks 437 questions a day and feel proud that your kid is above average.

24. You say at least once a day, I'm not cut out for this job, but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. :) x

I'm guilty of all those in bold!
 
I would also add...

You know you're a mom when:

You trade the purse you "couldn't live without" for a diaper bag.

You are preoccupied by poop and pee.

You wonder how you can make it on such little sleep.

Cookies and other snacks have become an official food group.

You pay more for tiny clothes than you would've ever spent on yourself.


You've convinced yourself that being in contact with dust and other germs helps boost the immune system!
