You know your a parent when.............

ok i decided to make a thread about all the things that happen to you while being a mama or papa. so have fun and giggle a bit.


you know your a parent when.....
you go to work and you got spit up on your clothes

you know your a parent when....
you go to open your purse and rummage through all the diapers,toys and snackies

you know your a parent when.....
you multitask getting lunch ready,on hold with the doctors, sweeping, and switching laundry loads.

YOu know your a parent when............
your kid/s are ready to go out the door and you havent even changed clothes or taken a shower...

keep on adding more lets see how many we can get.

 

when you have more of thier lunch on you than they have in their tummies....
when you end up talking to your all the adults around you in baby talk...
when you know none of the words to the latest songs or even what they are, yet you can recite every word of any song to do with kids....

 

You know you're a parent when:

You attend your oldest's high school graduation with your new infant in arms.

Your discussions during the evening meal range from why you can't get your belly button pierced, to how to add five plus four, to how an eight dollar an hour job does not add up to a brand new truck and it's insurance.

Your employed college student son gets his truck repossed from your front yard.

You have to listen to god aweful music coming from their bed rooms and have to bite your tongue so as not to sound like your own parents.

You hear your 17 year old say he will never have his kid act like that right after his 6 y/o sister throws a tantrum. (my god did he really say that?!?!)

Your 15 y/o says she can't wait until she has her own place so she will never have to listen to the Grateful Dead again. (it was said with a smile)

 

I knew I was a parent when getting groceries by myself became the social event of my week.

I knew I was a parent when a stranger said to me "Dear... you breast is leaking".

 

...when you have an audience every time you go to the bathroom.
...when you whip out your boobs in public and it's not for entertainment purposes

I would add more, but I have mommy-brain

 

when you can carry on an hour long conversation about poop :&


when your boobs ache every time you hear a baby cry

when you get more excited over finding a pretty nursing bra that fits properly than you used to get over new shoes

 

my god, these are so awesome! Icedtea's breat leaking one reminded me of a couple funny things that happened with me when I was still trying to bf Leane....
I had too many instances to count when my shirt would have 2 big round stains of milk over my nipples....
There was another time when we were going to my MIL's for Thanksgiving and I was pumping milk while we were driving down the highway....this one trucker almost drove into the ditch when he drove up beside our car!

 

When you hear yourself repeating things your parents said..and you SWORE you would never say !!!!

 

Hehehe! I can totally relate!

 

When you sold your first born to make payments on your auto insurance

 

I knew I was a parent when I heard my first "mommy, I love you".

 

same here! Costco became my favourite place...my haven....lol....the noise put Moire to sleep, and I saw other adults!

 

When......
You eat half eaten french fries

Wipes boogers on your pants because you can't locate a tissue

Get puked on in Wal-Mart on Mother's Day, and don't care

Sit on the couch with ten dolls lined up, and have to be quiet because they are sleeping

Walking barefoot in the house will always find that missing piece to a toy

Hearing Ilove you can never be said enough!!

 

(this happened yesterday at school) .....when all the women around you turn to talking about how their favourite pants fit them now or how far they could squirt their breast milk....and in turn, making all the guys within earshot turn purple.
When all your clothes smell like sour milk and puke instead of your favourite perfume.
When every item of clothing you own has a reminder of everything your kids has ever eaten on it

 

when........
you nurse you rbabe to sleep and you just cant put him in his crib cuz you want to hold him for just a bit longer.

when.......

righ tin the middle of lovemaking you hear a whine come from the crib
OR you have your lil one poke your butt.

when.......
in public places and you have some alone time you become protective of other children

when....
you get a brand new hair do from you lil one

when.....
you wake up 10 minutes after your lil one does and see all of you socks,undies,bras and your BOB on the floor

 

when there is nothing to eat in the house but two pieces of bread and one egg. because you are poor and the baby has a cold and you can't get to the store. You cook the egg, toast the bread, and give the egg and one and a half pieces of bread to the toddler, and eat the plain half piece yourself.

 

The above is a true event...it happened about 19 years ago. It made mama-ing more poignent than even the first feeding I gave my first child

 

when your elastics and sprays are being used and you don't know where the brush is

 

When you need to write an important note and all you can find in your purse are crayons.

Kathi

 

You know you are a parent when a long string of one syllable utterings makes perfect sense.

And when you reward farts made on the toilet with Mn'Ms.
Definitely when it's okay to drink someone else's back wash.

This stuff is great... It has me cracking up.
