Thanks, Dawn over at Pennies Add Up for the tag.
I am the mum who….
- Often forgets the scheduled milk times and can never remember when the last bottle was.
- Thought the cot was taller than it actually was and dropped her 3 month old the last few inches.
- Swore she wouldn’t show her child cartoons until he was at least 2 and now doesn’t get in the car without the animated nursery rhymes video.
- Ate cake twice a day, on average, when pregnant.
- Is still useless at changing nappies 9 months in and is the cause of most ‘poonami’ incidents.
- Has to put herself on a time out once or twice a month when she feels she is starting to lose it.
- Has dusted toys off after they’ve fallen on the floor and returned them to the Baby to be drooled on.
- Has allowed the Baby to feed the dog more of his dinner than he ate himself.
- Has hidden The Very Hungry Caterpillar when she couldn’t face reading it a sixth time.
- Is hoarding all of the Baby’s clothes for the next kid, whether they are a boy or not.
- Was asked by her wife today if her period was due because she was being a miserable so and so (disclaimer: it is).
I’d like to tag my good friend Roxxroxx over at Becoming Twin Mummies and new friends Morna at Awesome Austerity and Little Rainbow Bug. No pressure if you don’t fancy it, ladies x

Haha, dropping your baby in the cot really made me laugh (it probably shouldn’t have)! I did the picking up a dusty toy thing many times – it is one of those things that you think you won’t do before you become a mother isn’t it? Your pictures are great! xx #TwinklyTuesday

Thanks! I felt so awful, but he didn’t even cry so I guess it was OK. I was so judgy before. Have you seek the show ‘One born every minute?’ In the opening credits there was a guy who was taking a pic of his newborn and dropped his phone on them. I used to wet myself with judgy-laughter every time. Now I totally get it.

You’re not the only one to do the first one. Herself and I often have discussions about when last bottle was, and is she due one.

There are several, I think. For naps and food etc. My friend with twins swore by them.

Yes, I think it’s a common one. My excuse is car journeys are barely manageable with annoying nursery rhymes emitting from the back!

Great list. You know if never considered book hiding to avoid the twentyth reading and encourage the oldest one to try something new. Im not sure the list was designed to pass on advice… But it’s not a bad idea!
