10 Things Every Sleep-Deprived Mum Has Secretly Done

Here’s a shout out to all new mums,

We know your baby means the world to you. We also know that you sometimes feel like pulling your hair out of frustration but heck, you’re SO tired, you can’t even do that properly. Besides, your hair is already a mess.

Welcome to motherhood: Here, you’ll laugh with amazement, cry with joy and survive those early sleepless nights with an optimism that will soon turn into frustration, and then fatigue, and then to a state, we like to call mombies.

We define mombie as a sleep-deprived super mum who feeds on caffeine and survives on sticky kisses and messy smiles. And here are 10 hilariously honest, embarrassing and totally normal things that every exhausted mum has secretly done or thought.

1. You've seriously doubted your decision to have a baby.
