5 things a working mum with smallies can totally relate to

Sophie White

1. When it’s 8:45am and you’re already sweating profusely.

Getting yourself and the kids out the door in time in the morning means getting a more hi-octane cardio workout in before 9am than most people manage all week.

2. When you get to the office and everyone is really stressed“What’s wrong with you people? This is chill time; no one is crying or demanding four varieties of cereal for breakfast.”

3. When the office kitchen actually looks better than the kitchen you just left behind:

4. When everyone complains about the brevity of the half hour lunch break… while you’re just savouring eating lunch with CUTLERY while SITTING DOWN and not having to feed anyone else.

5. When everyone’s heading for post-work drinks… and you can’t wait to get home to play with Lego, perfect your Minion impression and pick macaroni out of someone else’s hair. #FavouriteTimeOfDay
