8 Things that Actually Happened to Me as a Parent
I know, I know! You can never rave enough about how amazing being a parent is, and how beautiful things are because of our children. So much mush and emotion emerged on social media likes of Insta & Facebook, that eventually separate category of blogging was assigned to parents. There are certain realities to parenting & specifically, Mommy-ing that no one really talks about in the open. But Mummsaurus speaks pretty much how she thinks. To be the most honest, quoting James Blunt – “It’s not always Rainbows & Butterflies, it’s compromise that moves us along ...” pretty much sums up what parenting is like. There are certain unusual things that actually happened to me as a parent. What they were – read on to know!!

Paid my life’s earnings to the doctors
You never really know the pain of a twin parent unless you have paid twice the amount for your ultrasounds during pregnancy, consultations, for vaccines, and what not. But if that isn’t enough, the twinnies will catch an infection, pass it on and spread it to you and everyone there is at home. So, the doctor can go sponsor an all night drinks & food party for his friends.

2. Participated and … admittedly, initiated Poop Conversations
Green, yellow, orange, purple and rainbow stranded poop – I have spoken about them all. Discussed the texture, the colour, the consistency, the frequency – Hell!! If I studied more science I would have spoken about its constituents as well (well, I did spot some porridge once)
But … That’s… just … a… normal thing for us, as a parent 🙄

3. Met this ‘kind’ of people
Ranging from giving bad looks to giving good lectures, I have met such people who are not sure of how to handle the baby. Even if they mismanaged their baby, I stepped in and then thought to myself – How could you?! That does come under your rules & responsibilities contract as a parent, doesn’t it?

4. Managed Unsolicited advice coming my way
Yes, I have Reacted to Unsolicited advice like this — like in a full ninja mode !! Beware and be prepared. If you ask me one more time how or why my child has become darker toned or why don’t I consider xyz things, I will cut you.

5. Forgot to deal with my basic drives.
So, the basic drives of a human being are to eat, drink, sleep and have sex (That’s what Psychology says, I did not cook that up). And I have forgotten to drink water or eat for long periods of time. The idea of missing on sex and sleep has already been mentioned umpteen times by parents. Yet, I’d reiterate that I had forgotten what it feels like to have sex, or to have a full nights sleep. So if you have been there, you realise things what someone as a parent has to deal with. #TrueStory

6. Liked children
I was someone who did not like kids per se. I always thought that the concept of Motherhood is extremely over rated – unless, of course, I had my own kids. So I went from this:

and This.

7. Prefer to Stay Comfortable than to look sassy
Parenting makes you want to stay in your pjs for the rest of your life. I was pretty much in an opted locked down in my own home and my inmates were funny little tornadoes. While that was a phase, it sure seems like being trapped on some days and being the happiest and most carefree soul on the earth. Comfort came above everything else to me as a parent!!

8. Made sure I had an audience while peeing
If you are not a parent yet, this might seem the grossest thing on the list (or the second most to say the least). But believe you me, initially when the kids cry for you when you are in the toilet, that is still tolerable. But when they start roaming around, the fear of “what-might-happen-if-I-take-0.000003-extra-seconds-to-pee” will freak you out of your wits. SO, a lot of moms, including me, prefer to have your audience right in front of you, discussing pee sounds, and poop shapes and how the toilet smells like bubblegum can be quite a good conversation starter. Trust my advice as a parent – that is any day better than having the oil and detergent mixed in something so that the soft toys can take a freaky bubble bath! (don’t even ask!)

It was fun to read this article…. And loved the first u have used
I can connect to this post as I have seen and possibly gone through the same in our life as I too have a 23 months old princess
Oh my God, you have a great sense of humour to see humour in the troubles of parenting. I had a hearty laugh. Extremely humourous. And yes I am sharing this … moms require to laugh off their troubles
Hilarious. Point 1 to Point 8… I was nothing but laughing. Having a sense of humor is like icing on the cake or a writer…
Such a fun post. Can relate to each and every point 🙂
Hahaha. Yes to all!! That makes the two of us to say the least
Makes me not want to be a parent to be very honest. 😅
Okay, now I am thinking what I have gotten into. The poop talk I want to avoid it like forever. If only that was an option. Loved how you have described the feeling of being a mother. 🙂
Hilarious one and it took me back in time…Keep them coming.

Thank you Natasha! & you are me 1000TH Comment <3
Loved the way you presented this article.. And there are things in there I can definitely relate to .. Specially from being a person who wondered why people had kids to someone who wonders why I dint have one before ..
Hilarious! The gifs have made it funnier! 🙂 I’m not a parent yet and now I know what I am signing up for!
Kohl Eyed Me
Something’s Cooking
This is so funny.. And the gifs are a riot!
Amazing post. Loved the Gifs
😂😂😂😂😂 Hillarious but true
Funny AF and so true AF. The gifs added to the wit of the post.. laughed out loud at work 😛
Funny piece with awesome inserts. I could relate to most of them. Love the poop discussion piece – been there, done that!
Could there really be poop that is rainbow-stranded? I mean, it’s fantastic (not in a morbid way). 😀 Your mommy-hood tale amused me and scared me in equal parts. May be, my fur-babies are enough for the”lazy” me.
Hilarious…I like the way you express. We can relate ofcourse… .hahaha…have fun mammasurus!!!
#mannreads
Hilarious! Every mother can relate to this…from poop stories to unsolicited advice …heard them all!
Entire Motherhood in beautiful article. Funny but so true !!
Hahaha I too have gone through this , the best parenting moment of life
hilarious !! can so relate to it.
Hilairous and eyeopening! Great GIFS too.
Hahaha…too good! It’s the funny reality of every mother and I like all things funny now. You totally nailed this post by using the perfectly matching GIFs.
Hilarious to the core! Had a hearty laugh
Great sense of humour! Its funny and true at the same time 🙂 Will also scare new parents!
Ha ha ha very funny read. I could relste to all that you have written. Butit is a passing phase and now when I look back, I only have sweet memories.
Ha ha ha … this is super Lol… Loved it
Hilarious and the gifs were sooooo apt! Every one of that has happened to me.. I only wish I see the funny side of it like you have!
Namratha from #firstgreenstep
I can easily relate and can say these happened with me too along with a few more!
You are humorous Prisha. You really ticked all things that most moms do once baby arrives,grows, with funny GIFs.
Bwaahaa poop conversations for sure. LOL.. no food no water no peeing for hours.. we lived it all.. CHEERS!!

I love the way you have created a hilarious post out of parenting! I enjoyed reading it. Kudos!
#DeepTiesReads #MyFriendAlexa
Hilarious and totally relatable. Had a great time reading this. Good one!! #surreads #myfriendalexa #blogchatter
Absolutely adored it. You have presented the struggles of mommyhood with a dollop of sarcastic humour which makes it so perfect. Most of the things listed here were a part of my phase as a new mommy.
To add to all this my girls used to crawl away as I tried dressing them up. Oh! it was like winning a war when I could successfully dress them up in winter or in their sleeping suits. #readbypreetispanorama for #MyFriendAlexa
Had to pay twice for ultrasounds too? That’s unfair! But yeah I can relate with most of the things you have done as a parent. Hang in there!
Agree on most here. Silence is golden, but not with kids. If my little girl is silent, I know she is brewing up something to keep me on my toes. You summed it so well. Though we admire them, I have the feeling that the previous phase was better. 😂 The only times we cherish we were in the past is with the kids being less naughty.
Funny as always. You have a knack to bring out the humour in any situation Prisha. i found myself nodding in agreement to a few points you mentioned above
I said “haha yes” for all points! Comfortable than classy…Life is like that now!
Hahahaha… This hilarious post made me laugh and cry at the same time! All the points are damn true and I have faced all of them… The grossest being talking about poops, which incidentally makes all of us laugh when we remember them!
Such a hilarious post. I agree with you on all points of motherhood.
Hehehehe another masterpiece of your writing with the humor dose. There is nothing in the list that a parent wont relate to.
Hahah every point is epic true
Haha thank u
