Things I've Learned As A Mom
Things I’ve learned as a mom for the past 17 years…. By: Sann
- It takes several coating of paint to cover permanent marker drawings on the wall.
- A lima bean expands when stuck inside the nose…tweezers come in handy!
- Toddlers are capable of pooping in a tub full of water…swimming pools too.
- Scissors are magical and fascinating to kids, hide them!!!
- Barbie dolls hair don’t grow but at least your kid’s bangs will
- Your dog will only tolerate so much tugging and pulling
- A broken crayon fits perfectly in the ear canal
- The average waiting time in the ER is 6 hours unless your child has difficulty breathing
- Your loose change on the counter disappears as often as the ice cream man comes by
- When your toilet overflows, chances are your child flushed something ie. Toy, brief, lego, etc..
- Nail polish stains on clothing are permanent.
- Don’t buy your kids white clothing, it attracts stains like crazy!
- Kids won’t hesitate to tell you your breath stinks in public
- They will also say things like “did you know your butt jiggles like jello?”
- Bugs don’t make good pets even if your kids are convinced otherwise.
- Frogs dry up and die indoors, set them free when your kid is not looking!
- You never know what you will find under your kids’ bed or under the sofa
- The best way to remove bubble gum in your kids hair is to CUT IT!
- When you are running late, your kids will take their time
- Kids do remember every single promise you make
- When your teen starts to drive, you will find yourself stepping on an “imaginary break” at the driver side seat.
- “Going out” does not mean going somewhere…it means “going steady” from our generation’s term.
- Your grocery bill will skyrocket by the time your child reaches puberty
- When your kid is between the age of 12-18, you will become a “dumb and stupid” parent
- Having a perfect hair day and an up to date wardrobe is more crucial than world hunger when you’re a teen.
- When they are over the age of 18, you will become smart and cool again.
- When your child is in pain, you feel it twice as much
- When they say “I hate you!” saying back “I love you” catches them by surprise and makes them feel good even if they don’t show it .
- Kids surprisingly hear what you are saying even when their eyes roll back and they say “like whatever!”
- It is never too early to teach them the value of hard work and money.
- Saying “I’m sorry” and admitting to your child about your mistakes is not a weakness, it teaches them it’s ok to have imperfections.
- It’s ok to act silly and funny, it makes great memories.
- Believing in your child’s abilities help them believe in themselves.
- Showing them your love for God teaches them the importance of faith
- Last but not the least… no matter how difficult it is to raise your child, you cannot imagine life without them (-:
