You know you’re a stay-at-home mum when…

Being a stay-at-home mum is not, as some people think, easy-peasy lemon-squeezy. It really isn't. And we think this GIF article hilariously sums up the universal truths of being a full-time mummy…

You know you're a stay-at-home mum when...

1. People always, always, ALWAYS ask 'what do you DO all day?'

Are you kidding, people? Really?

2. You barely have time to go to the toilet

I just want to pee by myself. Just once.

3. You feel like you've been awake forever

Must. Drink. Coffee.

4. The TV has been on all day, literally, and you have no idea what's happening in world news

Seriously, what's happening out there in the big wide world? Because Dora The Explorer doesn't do current events.

5. At least half of your meals are your kids leftovers

I miss grown-up food. I miss it so much.

6. Your mood depends solely on the length of time your child napped for

If you value your life, you won't slam doors in this house. Ever.

7. You actually know what the fox says

Also, all other animals. Particularly farmyard ones.

8. You don't think you've ever seen a single one of the fitness DVDs you bought for maternity leave

Seriously. There is NO time.

9. Your children probably see you naked more often than your partner

How else am I going to shower? Seriously?

10. You often go on Facebook to hang out with your friends

FRIENDS I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

11. You don't think you ever unplug the vacuum cleaner

What would be the point?

12. You miss having regular haircuts

Ah, roots. Thank goodness the ombre look is in, right?

13. You rock a ponytail pretty much every single day

This old thing?

14. You have to check your top for traces of sick / crusty food / worse whenever you leave the house

… but sometimes you just don't have time to change and go out anyway. Who's gonna notice, eh?

15. You're more excited about going to the park than the kids

FRESH AIR TASTES SO SWEET!!!

16. You think things like them cutting their first tooth deserve a celebration

Even if nobody else agrees.

17. This is, basically, your idea of the ultimate luxury…

HELLO THERE, GROWN UP BATH FOR ONE!!!

18. But you wouldn't change it for the world…

Because you love your little ones and this is, absolutely, the best job you've ever had.
