1) You post hundreds of pictures of your kid on your facebook profile. You even replace your profile picture with a picture of your kid/s. Your cover picture is also a picture of your kid/s. You define yourself as a mother, but where is the old you? You know, the old fun you? I get the 'my kids mean everything to me' point, but does your kid really absorb all your personality and identity? In am certain that this is the case. As for your hobbies and free time... well... forget about them for the next x years!
2) You update your status on facebook, to mention (for the x-th time) that you are proud of your kid, because your kid is potty trained, and the likes. Frankly, your FB friends doesn't give a dam about how your kid poops. It's only your business, nobody else's. What would you think if I updated my facebook status to tell you how many times I pooped today and how I wiped my bottom? Disgusted!? Then, why do you do it?
3) You have not done well in life and now you place your hopes on your little ones. Do you think that your kid is a special snowflake? Frankly, this is not the case. I have worked with many talented and gifted children in the past, and unless your 2 year old can speak like a lawyer, play the piano like Mozart or do high-school maths, I don't think that your kid is special (I have met and admired such kids and their amazing abilities).
4) When you are asked to mention your profession, you tell others that you are a 'full-time mum'. Well, is a 'full-time mum' a profession? I don't think so.
5) So, you go on money saving experts forum and create a nick name as 'Pricsilla's-mum' or 'mummy-of-two-angels' ? Frankly, nobody cares!
6) Grammar police:
You can call yourself a Mommy... yes...by all means.
But 'mummy'?
This is a mummy....
Well, do you define yourself as a mummy? ^
Unless your little one has dehydrated you and kept you awake at night, to the point of zombie-ness.
