A Mother's Traits

You know you're a mother when...

... you are the first to hear your child's cry no matter how far your child is
... your tone of voice changes when you speak to your child
... you always have a third eye, eyeing on where and what your kids are doing when talking to another person
... you are immuned to sleep deprivation and fine lines and dark circles befriend the area around your eyes
... the laundry becomes the common area in the house
... sitting in the toilet becomes a luxury
... perfumes are thrown out to be replaced with the smell of your kids
... you eat really fast when your child is either awake or asleep
... your phone is mostly on silent
... shopping for your next handbag, shoes and other wants are replaced by shopping for the needs and wants of your child
... you forgo eating to ensure your child is fed
... dressing up your kids become a part of your accessory
... you can connect with friends/strangers almost instantly when you talk about topics such as parenting or kids in general
... hearing the death of a child hits you 1000 times harder than when you had no kids of your own
... life before your kids become a distant memory
... your small handbags and high heels are left in the cupboards to collect dust
... your world stops when your child is awake and resumes when they are finally put to bed
... everything that used to mean the world to you becomes meaningless if you don't have your kids with you
