You know you're a mum/dad when..

just a fun thread so us mums and dads can relate and have a laugh.

my answer is

you know every theme tune to every childrens program off by heart and find yourself singing them at the most random times x

you know what the ninkynonk and pinkyponk are, without being embarrassed, and somehow know what makka pakka is trying to say!

you don't even care if you have cheerios (or any thing else for that matter) stuck to your trousers/ hair/ bum/ arm

doggy-lover · 13-05-2009, 21:48

LJB23 · 13-05-2009, 21:54

baby wipes no longer smell nice but just smell off poo!!

When you can talk to anyone about yours or their childs toilet habits and it's interesting and normal! lol

When you realise you've got sick down your top and you just shrug, don't change and think kids?!

You're driving along, alone and suddenly a toy is jolted in the car and you spend the whole journey with nursery rhymes interrupting the luxury of listening to the radio instead of CBeebies.... worse still when you cease to notice it or even begin to find that the words of the nursery rhyme are going round your head in time.

(I gotta get that damn toy out of my car!)

Zebra · 13-05-2009, 22:13

And when you know where every baby changing room or toilet is for miles around!

chickywiggle · 13-05-2009, 23:31

you rock the shopping trolley.

you talk to the baby (even if they aren't there).

you can't begin to think what 'non-mums' talk about.

You point out busses and helicopters to random passers by...

finoni9 · 14-05-2009, 08:02

You drive for 30 minutes after dropping your little one at nursery and suddenly realise you're still listening to the nursery rhyme cd.

you hear a child shout "mum" in a supermarket and turn around even though you know they are at school!!

treadlightly · 14-05-2009, 12:16

you are okay about wiping a child's nose with your hand and a bit of poo on your trousers is easily forgotten about!

sezbetz · 14-05-2009, 12:23

you are about to get the car keys or purse out of your bag / pocket and instead pull out a random sock / shoe / toy / crayon and then still go to pay or unlock the car with it!!!!!

sezbetz · 14-05-2009, 12:25

you only reply to the name 'mummy' or 'daddy' and fail to remember that you do actually have a 'real' name

chickywiggle · 14-05-2009, 14:03

you have put the boy to bed and are STILL watching 'wow wow woobsie'

BobbyBunny · 15-05-2009, 07:49

you just don't care if you get peed/pooed/sicked on. no point in changing your clothes, if you did it everytime your washpile would be even more astronomical.

honeyb35 · 15-05-2009, 08:44

you lick your fingers and rub them on your childs face

cosywolf · 15-05-2009, 12:05

your desk at work is covered with photos and toys you keep finding in your work bag*

*to date: 1 plastic pig, 1 squishy pig, 3 plush toys - spider, fox, bird, 1 stretchy lizard, 1 pull-back car...and I never play with them at all, especially not the car
