Can you think of any good things you enjoyed during those 9 months? People giving me seats on the bus.
In your opinion, were all the things you heard about childbirth accurate or way off. Pretty accurate - I had been my sisters birthing partner
Would you have handled childbirth differently if you could re-do it? No I feel second time round I pretty much knew that you cant predict how its going to go
What would be your advice for someone who is about to have a baby? Don't plan anything- nothing will go as planned and you will feel disappointed or like you have failed. All mums have been there, none of us have a clue what we are going. Fake it til you make it!!!
What has been the hardest thing about being a mom? Forgetting who I am. I have had to find a new identity that balances mummy me and non-mummy me. Still to find it
What has been the most rewarding thing about being a mom? Seeing my little babies growing and learning
What was the most surprising thing you discovered about being a mom? SO MUCH SNOT
What is the best memory you have involving your child? Both are when they slipped out and were put on my chest for the first time
What was the most exciting milestone? Too many
What is the worst thing your child has ever done? My daughter hasnt actually done anything awful. She likes to trash her room when shes angry though. My son is too wee just now.
What habit did you wish your child didn’t have? I want my daughter to be calmer, she is like me. She is a stresser like her MUMMY
What habit of theirs makes you most proud? Very good manners, they cost nothing
Do you share any similarities with your child (both Physical and Personality)? Daughter is a stresshead like me
Where would you like your child to be in 10 years?Happy thats all thanks
What is something that having a child has taught you? Too be patient
Did you imagine that you’d be a mom at the age that you became a mom?23 but looking back I would not have been happy. I am glad I got the chance to fall out of nightclubs and make memories as an adult without my children. It makes me feel like my life isnt all about the kids and I can remember me!
Describe your child in a single sentence? Where the wild things are
How have you changed as a person since becoming a mom? Am fatter?
