Motherhood just should not get in the way of some things
Sometimes it is difficult to get being a Mummy out of your head, this is my guide to things you should NEVER say or do:
1. When at the dinner table.
Never try to help your friend to eat by making aeroplane noises and flying a fork of food around his head.
2. When in bed with your beloved.
Never say “Well done! Clever boy!” in a really condescending tone after his performance.
3. When at a restuarant.
Never ask your friend when they excuse themselves to go to the bathroom, if they want a wee wee or a poo.
4. When out shopping.
Never state the colour and number of EVERYTHING out loud
5. When going on a date to the cinema.
Never offer your date a lollipop for ” sitting really well” thoughout the entire film.
6. When in a job interview.
Never try to wipe a crumb off his moustache with your hanky (which you have licked)
7. When watching TV
Never make the mistake of watching the children’s channel AFTER your child has gone to bed, and not noticing.
8. When trying to be cool while waiting to be served in a Bar
Never start humming the tune to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Anything else you really should avoid?
No. 7 is a must! So sick of kid’s TV
One for me is not to talk about The Boy’s wee & poo with non-parents! They just don’t understand and look at me in horror!
Daft Apeth – Yes non-parents just don’t get it – I remember being one of them once upon a time!
Bubblegumbodw – that is so funny AND SO TRUE! I have to stop myself cutting everyones sandwiches into shapes!
Never shout ‘train’ when you go over a hill and spot one at the station, when you don’t have your child with you but a car full of non-child orientated workmates!
Never, when making your beloveds lunch for work, cut his sandwiches into little triangles and open packets ready for him!
Brilliant!

If an adult puts both hands in the air, do not attempt to pick them up and hoist them onto your hip.
Great post!
Thanks Brit in Bosnia – that is so funny – can just imagine it now!
