A Real Mum Is One Who …

A real mum cares about her children so much she will go without to ensure they are fed. Who but your mother would do everything for you?

Some things real mothers do for their children:

•    Counts the number of sprinkles on each child’s cake to make sure they are equal.
•    Wants to take out a contract on the kid who broke her child's favourite toy and made him/her cry.
•    Has time to shave just one leg at a time.
•    Hides in the bathroom whenever she feels the need to be alone.
•    Her child throws up and she catches it.
•    Sees someone else's child throwing up at a party and she keeps eating.
•    Considers finger paint to be a controlled substance.
•    Mastered the art of placing food on a plate without anything touching.
•    Her child insists her to read "Once upon a Potty" out loud in the lobby of the doctor's office and she does it.
•    She hires a baby sitter because she hasn't been out with her husband in ages, then she spends half the night talking about and checking on the kids.
•    Hopes tomato sauce is a vegetable because it's the only one her child likes eating.
•    Finds herself cutting her husband's sandwiches into unusual shapes.
•    Fast-forwards through the scene when the hunter shoots Bambi's mother.
•    Obsesses when her child clings to her upon parting during his first month at school, then she obsesses when he skips in without looking back.
•    Cannot bear to give away baby clothes - it's so final.
•    Hears her own mother's voice coming out of her mouth when she says "Not in your good clothes."
•    Stops criticizing the way her mother raised her.
•    Reads that the average-five-year old asks 437 questions a day and feels proud that her kid is "above average."
•    As she clings to the high moral ground on toy weapons, her child chews his toast into the shape of a gun.
•    Donates to charities in the hope that her child would not get that disease.
•    Uses her own saliva to clean her child's face.
•    Says at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but she knows she would not trade it for anything.
