- All dignity and modesty has gone right out the window because your tot regularly uses your boobs as armrests, often pulls and/or lifts your shirt down and/or up in public, you pee with an audience and have zero qualms about throwing away a poppy diaper away in a public place.
- You hold doors open for other mothers with strollers because you’ve been there and it’s difficult to maneuver even for the best of us.
- You are able to tune out other people’s children’s outbursts. If it’s not yours, you’re not concerned.
- Time passes too quickly when you’re surrounded by friends and wine is involved, but moves at a snail’s pace when it’s just you and your child.
- Believe all modern conveniences; Starbucks, your favorite sandwich shop, the post office and dry cleaner should be offered in the drive through variety.
- Nothing brings you more joy than observing your child play, learn and grow on their own.

I find myself going a little out of my way lately to help moms with strollers and other baby stuff too. I have a whole new appreciate for all of them.

Tonya…this is THE BEST you know you're a mom post EVER written…seriously – I love it!! And I didn't post it today – I suck! But – I'm stumbling this and tweeting it now!

Awesome once again! I always have much more sympathy for the stroller moms, or those with one on one hip and the groceries on the other. And yeah, I was once a modest soul….then came kids.
Mommy This and That says
Love it! Especially the part of drive-thru's everywhere!

So sweet!
I get so annoyed when I see childless people in the Starbucks drive-thru. I think it should be reserved for mothers with children in carseats!
And yes, time does seem to move so slowly. What is it exactly that we are waiting for though?
Sophie says
I love this list and totally agree with it!
