Happy mother’s day new mommies! While you hustle and bustle every day with your little munchkin, remember you’re not alone. Moms everywhere feel the same stress, joy, frustration and happiness as you. If this is your first mother’s day, here is some inside scoop on maternal bliss.
Read on 10 confessions from newbie moms and see if you can relate too...
- I use my child’s baby products when she’s not looking. There, I said it!
- No conversation is embarrassing in public anymore!
- Getting ready? What’s that like?
- I hate strangers staring at my crying baby and judging my handling skills
- There’s no such thing as parties and movies in my life!
- I have thoughts of wearing armour suit every time that bundle of joy in my arms pulls my hair or earrings or just feels like scratching my face out.
- Sometimes I lose my mind when my baby cries at 3 am and have a little teary moment myself in bed, after picking him up, of course.
- I love to play pranks with my 1 year old. It’s funny to see her reactions!
- I give my babies ‘healthy food’ that I would never eat in a million years. Sorry not sorry!
- It is literally heart breaking to leave my new born for the first time after the end of maternity leave.
I use my child’s baby products when she’s not looking. There, I said it!
In my defence, those baby products smells like heaven (zero fragrance) and feel like butter on your skin, okay?
No conversation is embarrassing in public anymore!
That’s just mom talk, you guys. We are not ashamed of discussing body fluids, bladder control issues or labour pain. You gotta problem with that, maybe take your ears somewhere else?
Getting ready? What’s that like?
Being the makeup maniac that I was, I really didn’t believe when people said I won’t have the time to glam up once I have a screaming baby in the room. Turns out, they were right. Managing to steal 5 minutes, to put on a lipstick is bliss now.
I hate strangers staring at my crying baby and judging my handling skills
Oh, is my screaming child bothering you? Guess what? You don’t have to watch a repeat telecast of this in the middle of the night. So just walk away, please.
There’s no such thing as parties and movies in my life!
Not that I am complaining! Okay maybe I am complaining a little.
I have thoughts of wearing armour suit every time that bundle of joy in my arms pulls my hair or earrings or just feels like scratching my face out.
Great! He threw up again, and that too when I am wearing my Zara jumpsuit.
Sometimes I lose my mind when my baby cries at 3 am and have a little teary moment myself in bed, after picking him up, of course.
Parenthood will be fun they said!
I love to play pranks with my 1 year old. It’s funny to see her reactions!
What? She will remember it as an interesting childhood?? No?
I give my babies ‘healthy food’ that I would never eat in a million years. Sorry not sorry!
Here’s your pureed chicken…or…mashed boiled veggies!
It is literally heart breaking to leave my new born for the first time after the end of maternity leave.
I am not crying, you’re crying!
