The Top 20 Dilemmas of Being a Modern, Multi-tasking Mum by Anna Abignano

I love this.

My friend Anna is a wonderful human, a top mummy, an exceptional PR person, and… a witty writer!

She sent me this today and I knew I had to share.

So, in the spirit of Mother's Day and all the mothers out there who do a KICK-ARSE job, this is for you too:

The top 20 dilemmas of being a Modern, Multi-tasking Mum 

1. Trying to insert a tampon with acrylic nails.
2. Trying hard not to hit your husband with a hot pan when he asks “What’s for Dinner?”
3. Trying hard not to suffocate your husband with a blanket when he channel surfs while you’re sitting next to him folding washing.
4. Trying not to hit your husband with a tea towel when he is still channel surfing while you are still folding washing.
5. Trying not to get third degree burns while you’re balancing a sick, screaming toddler on your hip the same time as attempting to cook spag bol.
6. Getting carpet burn picking up every single grain of rice your 10-month-old throws on the floor, wishing you had floor boards.
7. Getting splinters from the floor boards picking up every single grain of rice your 10- month-old throws on the floor, wishing you had carpet.
8. Screaming your head off and doing a quick dive toward your toddler when you see blood pouring out of her mouth, only to realise she has strawberries stuck in her teeth.
9. Burning off ten kilos scrubbing Sudocrem out of the carpet.
10. Getting back pain picking up and re-folding the washing your toddler has decided to grab and fling all over the living room floor for fun.
11. Being in total denial at the mouldy smell coming from the load of washing you ran two days ago but are yet to hang up.
12. Skidding on milk that was spilt all over the kitchen floor two days ago, but you haven’t had the time (or the inclination) to mop it up.
13. Trying to remember what a mop looks like.
14. Not allowing your husband to touch your droopy, I’ve-breastfed-three-children boobs, then spending four hours a day researching new boobs online wondering if you can somehow disguise the cost of your new breasts on the joint credit card or somehow convince your Bank Manager for a new boob payment plan.
15. Hiding out in your wardrobe eating an entire block of Cadbury Chocolate Hazelnut. Comforting yourself that it’s ok to do so as it contains nuts, and possibly not good for your kids anyway.
16. Cleaning up so much poo that you’ve awarded nicknames to the different kinds of explosions: “Cadbury chocolate poo”. “I-don’t-feed-him-enough-fibre guilt pellets”. “She’s about to get gastro poo”. “Corn on the cob poo”. “What the f$#@ just happened poo”.
17. Rushing your daughter to emergency because she sustained first-degree burns on the hair straightener you forgot to turn off.
18. Finding yourself humming the tune to “Dorothy the Dinosaur” while you’re in the bathroom getting ready for a girl’s night out. Then getting in the car, looking in the rear-view mirror deciding you look like a Yeti because the last time you plucked your eyebrows was possibly three months ago.
19. Wondering whether to chill the wine at midday.
20. Not allowing your husband to touch your legs during sex because you haven’t bothered to shave or wax them for three months. Wondering if you can donate your leg hair to Carpet Court. 

About the Author: 

Anna Abignano (pronounced “A-bin-yar-no) is a very busy single mum of two gorgeous kids who never make life as a mother dull! She juggles motherhood by running her own freelance PR business, All About PR, and swears that one day she will own shares in a hair-colouring company seeing as a grey hair sprouts at least once a fortnight. Other than that, she has good genes on her side being told she looks 30 instead of 40. She is hoping it’s a compliment rather than a pick-up line, but honestly concludes it must be true as women tell her that, too. She is currently cooking dinner while her kids fight over the iPod.

I love this.

You saw the clips from Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field and the whole crazy-fun, delivery room experience, at the birth of their second child?

Here is what he wrote about it:

""No Moms Were Harmed in the making of these videos". Thank you for sharing the journey with us, we have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy. RW x"

And here is the now-viral clip (I love it. Robbie is a fun guy, she gets it. What a cool little family):

'Friends Without Kids': WhatsUpMoms - VIDEO

I was introduced to this funny page by Giselle Ugarte - who presents the Weekend Today show gossip reports for Australian TV… it's called 'What's Up Moms', run by three American   mothers named Elle, Meg and Brooke, and they upload very funny YouTube videos which clearly translate across the oceans for us Aussie mums.

Here is a video called: 'Friends Without Kids' - mothers, you will relate:

Elle is in this video, and she says of the video:

"An overdue explanation of why it's sometimes hard for me to hang out. Thanks to all who have shared this and confirmed I'm not the only one.

"Shot & edited by Elle in a semi sleep deprived state between feedings".

'Momhead': Johanna Stein - "Ways In Which My 4-Year-Old Has Insulted Me (true story)" VIDEO

A whole new perspective on motherhood… this is brilliant.

From the author of "How Not to Calm a Child on a Plane and Other Lessons in Parenting from a Highly Questionable Source" by Johanna Stein - available here is Johanna Stein, the writer/performer/editor in this going-viral video titled: "Ways In Which My 4-Year-Old Has Insulted Me (true story)."

Tvillinger og leggetid! / Twins bedtime

'Twins bedtime': the viral video with over 1.8 million hits.

Says the video creator Henriette Jonassen:

"I made a little blog for this video; http://twinswins.wordpress.com/

I've been struggeling with getting my twins asleep for a few weeks now (due to extremely hot weather and long, sunny days), and I've tried different methods. This one was definitely the worst one! But it gave me a good laugh tho.

And BTW: they have always shared room, I just thought I'd try something different for a few days, and it turned out to be a bad idea."

Watch the video below:

Can you relate? Are you a twinnie mum (or dad) and are going through this now?

My husband and I have LOADS of experience putting our twins to bed. We run a bloody tight ship and it's the thing we pride ourselves on the most - a united front when it comes to bedtime. And a no nonsense approach. Everyone sleeps in their own bed and nobody gets up during the night. Thank GOD. That sleep deprivation in the first eight or so months was sending me mental. I can relate to Henriette's frustration though - things can go pear-shaped super quick if you don't have a steely resolve with these mini people!

David Campbell's Wife Lisa Pregnant with Twins

In fantastic celeb baby news just in David Campbell, co-host of Channel Nine's TV show 'Mornings' has just announced he and his wife Lisa are expecting twins!

'Reacting To My Own Birth (ft. Mom)' - Tyler Oakley: VIDEO

Have you ever wondered how your child would react if they saw the video of their own birth?

Then watch this.

It is so funny and heartwarming and... don't worry, the icky bits are blacked out (I don't think childbirth is icky at all; it's a miracle and wonderful and a joy to experience… it's just that, I don't think you would like to see mine, and I probs don't want to see the full extent of yours).

This video was uploaded by an hilarious YouTuber I have never heard of until now: Tyler Oakley.



He describes himself like this:

"I'm basically a Professional Fangirl. Here you'll find plenty sassiness and beauty and fabulousness!"

I love him already.

More on Tyler in a minute. First, watch the video:

How funny and emotional. What would your kids' reactions be?

Tyler himself says of the video:

"If you're reading THIS, I'm so sorry for this video. My mom thought it'd be hilarious, and I thought y'all would cringe as much as I did... SO HERE WE ARE. If you cringed, push LIKE. If you screamed, let me know in the comments. If you're reading this, include, "MAMA JACKIE" in your comment. Thanks to everyone who is still donating to http://prizeo.com/tyler - we are SO CLOSE to half a million dollars raised for charity! Go donate! :]"

Do you have a birth video of your child or children? Would you show them?

If you don't have one, do you regret not taking one?

Dad Lip Synchs Daughter's Temper Tantrum

This is GOLD.

This father lip-synched his six-year-old daughter's temper tantrum outside her bedroom door.

Do you ever do this? You know, make fun of your child's tantrum?

It's not as mad - and cruel - as it sounds.

It's not something I do regularly, but... at the right moment (high pitched squeals) in the right environment (at home, or in the car when these kinda distractions can drive you nuts), it can diffuse an epic, ridiculous, about-nothing-at-all tantrum.

And: bonus side effect... my kids fall about in fits of laughter, or do that half-cry, half-laugh thing which is completely hilarious, endearing, and breaks the tension of a silly tanty likethat.

"Kids Are Pretty Much Just Tiny Drunk Adults"

It has been said that toddlers are like tiny-sized drunks, and there is certainly evidence everywhere to support this. If you have kids or are around them, you can recount lots of hilarious tales about what they do. If you have photo or video evidence, even better.

I came across this fabulous BuzzFeed gallery compile to prove that kids, yeah... they look like mini people who simply cannot hold their drink.

Here are some of the best:

3. They conduct themselves poorly in public.

4. Their depth perception is all over the place.

5. Seriously, they just can’t seem to get their food to their mouths.

Via latestpicturebyme.blogspot.com

6. They are totally unable to predict when they’re about to pass out.

7. They always find themselves in totally inexplicable situations.

10. They have poor impulse control.

11. They often fall asleep on or near toilets.

13. They have no sense of shame.

22. They draw on others’ faces when they pass out.

26. They have no shame about being seen without pants on.
