Remember Murphy’s laws? I am pretty darn sure you do. Especially if you are a mommy dealing with one or more kids, Murphy’s laws of Mommyhood are especially applicable to you.
1.) The bell ALWAYS rings only when you have just managed to put your baby to sleep after fifteen long minutes of hard labor.
2.)When you tell your friend that your kid doesn’t eat this particular food, THAT’s when she eats it with gusto.
3.)You see every kid around you sneezing, sniffling and coughing. You thank God, your baby hasn’t got it. THAT’s when she gets it.
4.)When the kids are out to play and you are all alone, you want to go to the loo but keep postponing thinking that the kids will come back any minute. Finally you can’t hold it anymore and decide to go. Just when you have begun your business, THAT’s when the kids are back.
5.) Your kid hasn’t played with a particular toy in months. But just when you give it away to your household help’s daughter… she wants it.
6.) You are late for a party and have bathed and dressed up the baby in her best. That’s when she gets hold of the Kaajal and smears it all over her lovely dress. (Yup, has happened!)
7.) Your kid hasn’t been carsick in months. So you don’t carry any extra clothes. That’s the day she will be carsick again.
8.) When you have finished your tasks, and are just about to lie down to ease your aching back, THAT’s when the baby wakes up screaming.
9.) Just when you have reached a play park after twenty minutes of walking with the baby in your arms, that’s when the older kid wants to pee badly and there is no loo in sight.
10.) Your baby has been an angel through the day. But the minute you get an all important business call, is the time the baby cries at the top of her lungs.
I know you are shaking your head right now.
And that by the time you read the last you will have your own set of laws to add to this. Please share with me your Murphy’s Laws of Mommyhood.
