1. Rather than getting excited for topshop deliveries and nights out you get excited over getting to drink your (cold) cup of tea, a five minute child free bath and being in bed before 9!
2. Spending the day at home no longer means copious amounts of junk food and watching Netflix but means a day of picking up toys, deep cleaning and maybe having a 5 minute sit down before having to pick up after someone... Again.
3. Accepting the fact that the hour you used to spend doing your hair and make up has disappeared for the next 18 years and that even just brushing your hair and teeth before mid day is an achievement.
4. 'Going shopping' no longer means spending your afternoon having a stroll around Bluewater but means rushing around Tesco avoiding everyone because you're wearing stained leggings and the same jumper you've had on for 3 days.
5. Not only do you know every Peppa Pig character, you know exactly what they're going to say and do in every single episode...
6. Meal time is no longer something pleasant but rather a mini world war where you're battling against baby rice spit sprays and carrot purée spoons getting slapped out of your hands and sprayed across the carpets.
7. As nice as the idea of having people round for dinner is at the time you invite them, it soon ends in over excited babies who won't go to bed (which is always 1000x worse when you have guests) and a tonne of washing up.
8. Making a walk to your local co op a day trip after realising the week before that trying to juggle town, a baby, getting your nails done AND having to clean a home all before bedtime is just far too much.
9. Embracing those yoga pants/leggings! Yes okay, we may sit for hours admiring women on instagram who are able to look after a small child, wear white jeans and heels AND still manage to post pictures of themselves on the internet but lets face it... are we comfy? Yes. Are we seeing anyone today? No, so white jeans that will probably be ruined by 10am are hardly worth the effort.
10. I'm gunna call this one 'the snort' which is basically the little laugh I do whilst I'm choking on my cold tea on my 5 minute facebook break when I call bullshit on the SAHM who reckons that they've done baking, pinterest inspired crafting, cleaning AND have had time to shower and put make up on all in one day.
