Does it ever just hit you?

[Tangerinedream]

Like OMFG Im someones mum and I have to do my best not to mess things up for this little person who is totally dependant on me and who looks to me to teach them about this huge and diverse world we live in

It just hits me sometimes at the most random moments like when I was writing a gift tag for one of Jakes present... Love from Mummy and Daddy... I was like Huh? Thats me I was making some paper chains thinking aww he'll love these, and it hit me again

Sorry for the randomness, I think as he gets older I can see the things he is picking up from me (no swearing yet thankfully )

Yes sometimes it does. I forget that I am a mum Finlay will do something then I think "God your are mine"

I still don't believe it

 

[LisaJ1986]

Yeah i know exactly what you mean.
She's laid on the floor crying for mamamamama as we speak but it still doesn't hit me til someone else other than my OH calls me Mummy!

Its so bizarre eh? I have just returned from my Mums where I sleep in my childhood room, I kept thinking of all the times I put my dollies to bed in there and now I have my real baby! Its so funny, hope I am actually up to this job, I feel like I am just 'playing' at being someones Mummy some days making it all up as I go along!

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Not anymore, but ive been a mummy to 2 kids now for nearly 18 months, you get used to it.

It really did hit me though stephens first christmas when i was writing his pressies out!

 

[GBLiz]

i still feel like im play acting sometimes too! 'Mummy' to me means my mum, not me!

It really hits me when OH or I get referred to as a 'parent' or someone refers to my little girl as my 'daughter' - both those words just seem so grown up.

My head gets a bit muddled when I think about bringing DD up and all that responsibility to teach her right from wrong etc, that I just muddle through each day and hope for the best!

Yup I get this all the time!! Especially when we are having a cuddle and he is lying in my arms and is sleepy and I look at him whilst he is wrapping his hands in my hair and getting all cosy and think "wow I made you!". It makes me cry pretty much everytime!! Im such a slush chops!

 

[Tadpole]

Yup. Somebody referred to me as 'Olivia's Mummy' and I was just, "Really?!!" I can't believe I actually created this perfect llittle person. And then I get a bit, 'gulp', at the responsibility.

 

[mummykay]

Not very often but when it does Im like 'OMG Im the only person in the whole wide world responsible for this little thing!!!'

that makes me very protective too, hes my one shot at makin somethin of myself as a parent so I better do it well

 

[littlepip]

OMG!!!! YEEEES!!!! I was in the petrol station the other day and i was in the que and i looked at my keys and i have a keyrinf that says worlds best mum, and i was like MUM!?!? WTF!!!! OMG!!!

 

[LilysMummy]

Yeah!!! When I was walking round to my mums today I looked in the pram and I was like WTF Ive got a baby Or when I see like 6/7yr olds and think I wouldnt have aclue how to deal with them.... Oh Im a parent now so I havent got much choice

 

[pilkers]

God yeah... it's the strangest feeling sometimes. When my mum calls me mummy to Evie, thats weird!!

When I'm on the phone to places like the doctors and I say "can I make an appointment for my daughter"

The funniest one is that I've found that my status has changed especially at work. I now "belong" to a different group. I work in a strange place where the "younger carefree" ones group together and the "older more sensible" ones group together... I don't feel like belong to the "younger" group anymore and I find myself talking more to the other group

I still feel like a teenager in my head though
