My 5yo daughter and I were having a bit of a stand-off the other day, when I realized Good God, I’ve become a kid again. And not in a good way.
I’m guessing that many of you probably have, too.
Signs That Motherhood Has Made You a Kid Again:
1. You have a foot-stomping tantrum if someone eats the cookies you hid.
2. You hate wearing pants.
3. You demand juice every day.
WHERE’S! MY! SIPPY CUP!!!???
4. You’ve left the house wearing two different shoes on multiple occasions.
5. You just want to be left alone with the iPad so you can play.
6. You prefer movies in which the characters dance around a lot.
Just like Dora’s Ballet Adventure, but with more thongs.
7. Sometimes you have potty accidents.
8. You hide in a closet at least once a day.
9. You’re bathed and in PJs by 7pm.
Oh my God, it’s 8 already? WHY AM I NOT IN BED??
This made me laugh out loud, well I would have if I had not been hiding in my closet playing with my (no darling, it is not yours!) iPad. Sadly, yes to all of the above.
I, too, have to remind the kids that the iPads are MINE and DADDY’S. Not their. No way no how no sireeebob.
Oh, yes on #’s 3 and 9. And sometimes, #9 is because of #3. I think I’d like to just add. I need a nap to act decent again, to the list.

The difference is that kids refuse to nap. Moms wish they could nap.
OMG I WISH I COULD NAP.
I think you forgot “You sneak away from your vegetables when you think nobody is looking”

Ah, see: I’m a vegetarian. I sneak all my veggies in.
I do hate wearing pants! So much. When did it happen? Why? As soon as a black tank-top and cellulite become the new “it” outfit, I am going to be so popular. This was hysterical.

We’ll be wearing the SAME THING. It’s like a trend!
You throw a fit when you don’t get to watch your show on television.
You loudly vocalize your inner feelings.

I do that a lot. I mutter aloud what’s going on in my head, whether anyone else is around to hear it or not!
I have never been a fan of pants. Or shoes. Or socks.
I burst into tears with little provocation. Especially if I’m tired.
My grammar in everyday speech is appalling.
Hot damn. I’m a four-year-old.

I can’t stand wearing shoes. If I could be barefoot always & forever, I totally would.
Seems I’m 4yo, too.
I already hate wearing pants. Can that get worse?

Yep. ‘Fraid so.
Like my toddler, I hate being interrupted when I’m concentrating, but when I’m bored I have no problem interrupting the person next to me.

LOL! Same here.
I can relate to the entire list. I also get very cranky and sometimes cry a little when I’m over tired or hungry.

VERY cranky when I’m hungry. It ain’t pretty. Not at all.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9. YEP.
So apparently I should start drinking out of a sippy cup and whining more. Done and done.
