EXHAUSTION - 10 THINGS EVERY MUM GOES THROUGH!

Just going to jump right in ...

1. YOU HATE YOUR PARTNER - yup, you have a new found hatred for someone you thought you once loved, as you lay there rocking your baby to sleep for the 400th time, and you hear snoring. You consider packing his bags

2. YOU WANT TO SMACK ANYONE WHO SAYS YOU HAVE IT "EASY" - yes, we've all heard it. "I would rather be staying at home all day" - ahhh yes Margaret because that's what I do, stay at home drinking coffee and doing nothing else. Shut up!!!!

3. YOU MESSAGE A FRIEND WITH A BABY TOO ABOUT HOW TIRED YOU ARE - doesn't matter if it's 1,2,3,4,5 am there is always a friend that's up and you can always count on them to make you feel better for the fact you are sat at the end of your bed crying into a burp cloth

4. YOU WANT TO DISOWN ANYONE WHO SAYS THEIR BABY SLEPT ALL NIGHT - doesn't matter if it's your best mate, family, or someone you love with all of your heart, if they say those words, your out, the friendship is over, and your a jealous mess

5. YOU GOOGLE "HOW TO GET MY BABY TOO SLEEP" - ahhh the good old Google! 'Tissue gently on face, skin to skin, tight swaddling, bla bla bla nothing works

6. USE WHITE NOISE - whales, the wind, a Hoover a washing machine; desperately seeking any help you can get oh and then your battery goes and the baby wakes

7. YAY THE BABY IS FINALLY ASLEEP - oh no it was just a tiny cat nap that lasted 5 mins whilst they re-energised for the next 7 hours of being awake

8. CONSIDER HOUSEWORK - it might be 2.30 am, but would I wake the household if I did a few loads of washing?

9. MIGHT WAKE MY PARTNER, (no I feel too bad) - why? Why do I? I hate being so nice

10. STARE AT YOUR BABY AND HOPE YOU CAN HYPNOTISE THEM - well, it was worth a try yeah?
