Someone steals your food from out of your hand as you’re lifting it up to your mouth, and you don’t punch them in the face.
Someone presses your nipple in public and says “BOOP” and it doesn’t count as sexual assault.
You’re less bothered by wee, poo, sick, bogies, toe-jam and other bodily functions than you ever thought possible.
You forget what grown up telly is like, but know all of the words to the songs from Mr. Bloom and Octonauts Creature Reports.
You’ll happily walk along the road singing at the top of your voice for your child’s entertainment, and don’t give the tiniest shit what people think.
Thoughts of exotic holidays turn to “God, it’d be such a pain in the arse to go there”, instead you spend hours trying to work out the logistics of trying to get the family to Peppa Pig World, because your daughter would shit her pants with excitement if you took her there.
You’ve adapted your walking pace to take bizarre half steps to accommodate your toddler, but still find yourself walking like it even when alone.
Someone offers you the chance to lick their dinner off of their hands.
Every waking moment is spent in various stages of anxiety and panic about whether you’re DOING. IT. RIGHT.
Whilst doing…ahem…”grown up things”, no matter how ‘in-the-moment’ you are, there’s still a tiny part of your brain that’s on constant alert for you child walking in. It will be this way until they leave home.
Hilarious and so true. Found myself agreeing to every statement eventhough my two are beyond the toddler stage brought back hapy memories. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Oh I love this post so so so so much and I only discovered it as it jumped into my paper ii.

Fantastic! I need to learn some new songs though, the theme tune to Mr. Bloom’s Nursery and the Bing Bing Song from Peppa are getting a bit old!
I’m glad its not just me who gets food taken out of their hands! I have to eat in secret 🙂 Very funny! x
You had me laughing as I realised that I have Sponge Bob songs in my head!!
Hahaa very true and so funny too! Well written
