YOU GET USED TO...
- Wearing clothes with stains - and not noticing
- Whingeing and screaming being the soundtrack of your life
- Sleep becoming more important than sex
- Locating poo (not your own) under your fingernails via a horrible smell
- Leaving pots and pans in the sink overnight
- Mounds of laundry in all corners of the house
- Being called "Mrs Ship" by hubby because we mind our kids in passing shifts
- Not showering every day
- Being woken up abruptly every night
- Never finishing a train of thought because of constant interruptions
- Having fingermarks and stains all over walls and windows
- You lower your standards around the house
- Every other sentence becomes "Just a minute"
- Balloons are still hanging from a birthday party two months ago
- You're desperate for a break from them, but miss them desperately when they're not around
- Friends nearby become more important than best friends overseas
- You throw a towel over peed-on sheets and then forget to change them the next day
- Bed linen and duvet covers are lucky if they're cleaned once a month
- You haven't a clue what's going on in the world - and don't care anymore
- You can’t remember when last you went to the toilet without a child insisting on being with you/sat on your lap
