1. FIREWORKS ANNOY YOU
Bonfire night, new years eve and diwali are the only acceptable times to set off fireworks, midnight is not an acceptable time either. Why do they do it?
2. FIGHTING WITH YOUR TODDLER
'Why don't you wear a coat," "Keep your hat on," "Leave your shoes on, and your socks" The disgusted looks on strangers faces when your child is hatless and coatless, although they have no care in the world as they run around the park.
3. YOU CONSTANTLY FIND LEAVES
That annoying moment you come in the back door and next thing you have leaves all over the clean carpet from pram wheels and welly boots.
4. YOU'VE GOT MORE MEDICATION THAN A PHARMACY
Vix, calpol, saline nasal spray, you name it, you've got it. You also have a bunch of adult stuff too as there is no slacking for mummy and daddy! You've gotta keep going.
5. YOU'VE GOT A POCKET FULL OF TISSUES
So many tissues, so, so many tissues. They also usually end up in the washing machine too.
6. THE CLOCK CHANGE, IS THE WORSE
"Have a lie in" they say, "Funny" you say. Children don't get the extra hour memo. Time to feel exhausted.
7. NOVELTY CLOTHING
The brief change between a skeleton onesie and a snowman onesie. Dress them up while they don't have the capability of saying "no."
8. THE PHOTOGRAPHS
You can't help but take a photograph of your little one in the leaves or in a pumpkin... You just can't help but take silly, memorable, stereotypical photographs.
9. THE HOTPOT HAS A STEW... STEWING
It's that wonderful time of year that dinner is so easy to make, you chuck it in the hotpot/slowcooker in the morning and when you get home, you're house smells amazing and dinners ready to serve. The kids will love it too.
10. HAIR DILEMMA
How can you wear your usual mum bun when you need to wear a bobble hat! I literally don't know what to do... i'm going for mum bun.
What are you autumn mum signs? What would you add to your list?
Happy Autumn, because it's nearly winter and nearly christmas...
