- It's 9 a.m. and you’re thinking, “A little bit of Kahlua in my coffee will just take the edge off.”
- You're thinking about playing hide and seek with the kids - so you can get yourself some magazines and go someplace they'll never find you...
- You mutter, "Jeez, how clumsy can you be?" when your little one bumps his head on the counter/trips/walks into a wall. Again.
- You feel somewhat avenged when your toddler trips on the toys s/he refused to put away.
- There are pauses for very un-parental words in your remarks to your kids, like, "Why can't you just ______ put on your ______ shoes?!"
- Your enthusiastic mommy voice -- the one that should be all about making your child feel loved is just a little bit sarcastic.
- When the dinner you slaved over is rejected, it's all you can do not to get all frisbee with your own plate.
- When your children don’t nap, YOU throw the tantrum.
- Your children say things like, “Stop yelling at me!” or ask “Why are you always so angry?”
- You’ve noticed your angel sounding snarkier and snarkier lately. And s/he sounds just like you.
