Being a Mother


When your definition of love changes from one heart and two souls to two tiny feet and one small head.
When your weekend is spent going to the park with your little one rather than a club with a bunch of friends.
When catching a game doesn’t mean going to the bar or stadium anymore, but to a small playground surrounded with equally enthusiastic parents.
When a date means two toddlers running around your house, and not dinner at a fancy restaurant.
When your vacation plans change from unexplored places to family-friendly destinations.


When your ‘I-told-you-so’s’ change into ‘I can’t believe they did that to you’.
When shopping sprees aren’t for high heels and short dresses, but for onesies and tiny tiaras.
When you check ratings for everything from movies to restaurants, and from hotels to schools.
When you start looking at a crying baby in a movie theatre with empathy instead of irritation.
When your name is called out a million times a day and you are made to believe that you run the entire universe,

You know you are a mom!

Happie Mother’s Day!


P.S. If you are a mother and you don’t relate to this post, it doesn’t mean that you are doing it wrong. It simply means that I haven’t met you yet.

P.P.S. If you have a child who walks on four feet and not two, you are still a mother.

Be your own kind of mother.
