I never in my wildest dreams thought I would end up a stay at home Mom. No bloody way in hell. And then look what happened.
Before I was a Mom, it was all about me. I always thought it would always be all about me, but now, it’s all about THEM!!!
Before I was a Mom, I was SLIM. Slim enough to strut confidently in a bikini on a public beach. Slim enough to fit into size 10 UK. Slim enough to wear hot pants and knee high boots. Bah.
Before I was a Mom, I was less compassionate, less patient, less kind. I guess being a Mom is a good thing. Yes?
Before I was a Mom, I lived life to the fullest. I’m still living life as full as I possibly can with what little time I have!
Before I was a Mom, I used to entertain guests a plenty. I loved cooking and I cooked a hell of a lot more than I do now. My poor, poor kids…..Mommy will change.
Before I was a Mom, I spent much more time with books than the internet. Now, it’s reversed, though I’d like to strike a good balance one day soon.
Before I was a Mom, I knew nothing about children nor raising children. I’ve come a long way……
Before I was a Mom, I earned a good income. I’d imagined that becoming a Mom (a stay at home one at that!) would put my career into cold storage, but how wrong I was. Being a Mom actually makes you more employable. If you can sort your kids out to a pat, you can manage a corporation to success. Fact.
Before I was a Mom, I found it hard to make friends. Now I am surrounded by so many! Thank you, all!
Before I was a Mom, I hardly slept because sleeping was a waste of time. Nothing has changed, it seems…..although I’m helluva lot more tired now! This thing called age…. *grumble-grumble*
Before I was a Mom, I could spend whichever direction I liked. Now, I have to think of the kids and their very expensive education in the UK *gulp* – it’s not like we’re heirs to a fortune, ya’ know, like many people in KL whom I know!
Before I was a Mom, I never knew I could love so deeply. I knew I could love and had a lot of love to offer, but nothing like now. Now, the Hubs keeps moaning about how much I spend on loving other people outside of our little family!
Before I was a Mom, I never imagined that spending hours just staring at my sleeping children could bring endless joy. Endless. So fulfilling. Complete. Perfection. Until the next day arrives and everything changes.
Before I was a Mom, I had a lot more sex!

Your final statement got me in stitches!!!!!!!
Being a mum is like marriage – for better and for worse, although most of the times, it is for the worst!
LOL at your last line. Same same 🙂
it’s true, most of the points that you brought up on before I was a mom is applicable to me too.
didn’t know that, motherhood, change one individual a lot.
I wonder, does fatherhood, change one individual, too?
lol…i can count how many times we hv sex since i gv birth to my no5! one hand more than enuf. hehehe.
i had wanted to say….
bf i was a mom, i was much slimmer too but dunno why motherhood made me love food so much 🙁
Sex? what’s that? The only reason I’m not going there as often is because sex could lead you to big big (and expensive) trouble.
