10 weird things only mothers do.

-
1.Smelling your baby's bum to perceive for poop? Super weird but do you care? Not in the least!

2. Cleaning your baby's runny nose with your fingers or the inner of your shirt, top or the end of your wrapper? Gross I know. But would you ever do it again? Probably yes. 

3. A quick dash to the mall with your baby involves packing two of everything-a change of clothes, diapers, pacifiers, rattles, toys, his favourite blankie, Baby combs, cream and jelly, wipes, Baby food, water and a carrier or wrapper. 

4. Choosing to buy clothes and toys and pretty much anything your child needs, sometimes wants in favour of a new pair of shoes, clothes, toiletries, getting a mani-padi or switching that months long hairstyle you've been sporting for ages.

5. Eating the remnants of your baby's food plates. Guilty as charged.👋 Why waste such good and expensive food?

6. Bathing or visiting the toilet alone is considered a priceless 'me time'. Oh the joy and freedom to take a look alone and in peace! 😁

7. Forgetting the keys in the fridge and the purse at a friend's. You thought pregnancy brain was worse? Subscribe to mom brain for 6weeks and you'll see? How about going for grocery shopping and realising at the counter when you're just about to pay that you left your purse back at home with all the cards in it?

8. Nothing beats prioritising good restful sleep over sex. Mind over body over matter! Who needs sex when you have not slept for the last three days?

9. Checking your baby's diaper poop for irregularities, even going as far as snapping it to send to your child's paediatrician and ask questions. 

10. When your baby is finally asleep, from time to time to tiptoe into the room to check on their breathing-to see if they're still alive and breathing. Then you watch the rise and fall of their little chests for three minutes before tiptoeing out again. Weird I know.

Siblings Rivalry

 I was today years old when I realized that my secound son doesn't need me fighting his battles for him. My oldest is not finding it funny sharing his toys with his baby brother. It's a tough curve to manoeuvre and an uphill climb he is trying every possible way not to make. Me? Hehehe.  I am not bothered. He must learn to share one way or the other. After all, they're their own best friend and best brother. Till the end of their lives.  So quick gist here😉 This morning my oldest was taking  his toys out from the storage he keeps them in. The second was playing in a corner at the other side of the room.  But soon as he saw his brother unpacking the toys he ran over to him and began picking each toy he brought out, dragging them to himself.  My oldest attempt at diplomacy failed when he soon realised that his baby brother's grip is strong. Then he tried shoving but realised again to his dismay that, little bro stands right back up soon as he lands on his bu...

How Becoming a Mother Changes You.

Motherhood changes you. It does something different to you. Let's skip the goody emotional stuff and confront the part that no one wants to talk about. People mostly attribute every of our experiences to "the joy of motherhood." For example 'my baby has kept me awake through the night, three days in a row now. I feel like a zombie in a walking dead movie' They: "but that is the joy of motherhood." Right. To stay awake through the night and entertain them through the day. Add the house chores. Then rinse and repeat. For three days. Are you kidding me? Post delivery depression is real, so real for many moms. Forget that they still show up and shine teeth and act like they are put together, inside they have broken into different tiny pieces.  Most have lost themselves in the process. They can't seem to find a way out of the quicksand of deprived sleep, poopy diapers, 24/7 hands on care and needed attention, and overcoming the stormy days of ...
