I Am the Mum Who…

I Am the Mum Who…

I was tagged by Jess who blogs at Mrs Puddleducky to do ‘I am the Mum who’ which is a fun internet meme about being a Mum. Here goes…

I am the mum who…

  • left the room and didn’t go back for ages after taking the pregnancy test that would tell her she was pregnant, because she didn’t believe it would happen
  • wanted so much to be pregnant, but when it was here sadly didn’t really enjoy the experience
  • sings to her children every night before bedtime
  • tickles her children to the theme from Jaws
  • loves nothing more than a good hug
  • loves the idea of craft with her children, but is really not so good at the ideas and the mess
  • never expected motherhood to feel this way and to be this amazing
  • who thinks her children are awesome, but is still grateful for bedtime
  • worries that sometimes she spends  too much time doing things when she should be playing
  • loves watching her children grow and develop, but gets sad sometimes because it seems to be whizzing by so fast
  • is too busy taking photos and is rarely in them
  • thinks books are essential and buys far too many for her children
  • thinks there’s nothing better than the sound of a child’s giggle
  • has to watch herself or she would spoil her children rotten
  • loves her family Legoland season ticket
  • loves buying her children clothes
  • thinks irons are evil and at 2 her son had no idea what one was!
  • wishes her house was immaculate, but sadly doesn’t have the time
  • loves to creep in and check on her children before bed, there is something so peaceful about sleeping children
  • wonders what she ever did with her time before she had children
  • never wants her children to grow up, but doesn’t want them not to either
  • is regularly overcome by such a wave of love for her children, motherhood is the hardest, but best thing that ever happened to her.

  1. Reference “wishes her house was immaculate….” – I have a sign in my kitchen that says “Only dull women have immaculate houses”. Nuff said.

  2. Lovely list Laura! I can relate to a lot of your list, esp irons which are ferry rarely used in this house! And time, what on earth did we do before being a mummy??!! Thanks for joining in x

    • Thanks Becky. The Pink Panther is another good theme to use too. I think every parent has their individual quirks and as you say it’s really nice to find out about them 🙂
