I Am The Mum Who....

I am the mum who...

• didn't think she was the maternal type until she got pregnant, and now loves being a mum more than anything in the world.
• after 6 years in Northern Ireland is slowly turning in to a country bumpkin.
• wanted to be called mam, but made the decision to go with mum so the kids didn't sound too out of place when we relocated.
• watches My Little Pony with her daughter and secretly loves it, especially all of the songs!
• hides in the kitchen to eat chocolate so she doesn't have to share, but always makes the kids share their treats with her (I feel guilty just writing that!)
• is always taking photos.
• should probably spend a little less time with her phone in her hand.
• constantly doubts her parenting skills and sometimes worries she is getting it all wrong.
• is so glad the Peppa Pig phase is over,  I'm sorry but how annoying is she?!
• always gets wrong off her son for calling him 'pet' and 'sweetie' and 'wee man', but can't help it... it just rolls off the tongue!
• is usually bad cop in the good cop/ bad cop situation (and never imagined it to be that way!)
• secretly loves when the kids come in mum & dads bed so she can have a little cuddle.
• wishes she was better at imaginative play so she could play with the kids more.
• used to be so laid back, but now worries about everything, all of the time!
• can't stand the silence of a child free house!
• sometimes shouts more than she would like to, and feels so guilty about it.
• ignores the washing pile for as long as possible, then gets cross at herself for leaving it so long when she's standing folding for hours.
• Has a fantastic husband supporting her each step of the way
• refuses to get wet during a water fight (spoilt sport!)
• Is worried her kids will be embarrassed by her when they get older.
• feels totally blessed to have such an amazing little family.
