Those who aren’t mothers might not get it. But that’s okay.

Worry about everything and nothing (all the time)

1/8
Worry about everything and nothing (all the time)
This is very obvious to anyone around a mother - you will start to worry, day in and day out, about the human that you have given life to! There will not be a moment where you will not be concerned about your child. Bad news: this will continue even when your baby grows up and reaches adulthood - yes, even when they get married!
2/8
Breathe the scent of your baby
This may sound strange, but to many mothers, it is very comforting to snuggle their little one up against them and to breathe in their smell. Babies have that intoxicating newborn scent that comes naturally, and to many, it is just positively delightful!
3/8
Rave about everything they do
Drawings, sculptures, Mother’s Day gifts, artwork at school… growing children like to develop and flaunt their creativity. So inevitably, as a mom, it is your duty to encourage them, and to be proud of their achievements.
4/8
Invent a language that does not exist
"Abuuu, abuuu the beebeeeee", "waaa - baba, dada"... To communicate with a baby, we sometimes resort to senseless sounds and words that the common man will have no idea what to make of. And we enjoy it.
5/8
Watch your children sleep
There is nothing more soothing and relaxing for a mom than watching her children sleep. Firstly, because they are cute when they’re slumbering, and secondly, because you finally have a moment of respite! At least, until they wake up.
6/8
Anticipate the nonsense
Over the years, all mothers will eventually develop a sixth sense to be able to thwart the evil plans of their beloved children.
7/8
Dream that they will one day be independent
Even though we very much adore our children, we hope that one day they will be capable of leaving the ship and taking off to new horizons. However, once the time comes, we will be devastated at the thought of letting them go!
8/8
Understand your own parents
But the most unexpected thing that happens when you become a mother is that you get to finally understand what your parents went through. And suddenly, the expression you heard when you were younger - “You’ll see once you have your own kids!” will make sense!

Becoming a mother is probably the most beautiful thing that can happen to a woman. From then on, she creates a special and indescribable bond with her precious baby. If fact, when we become a mom, our life changes, literally overnight. In addition to our daily routine, we do a lot of little things that make us smile, things that others who have no children will not be able to understand, or even comprehend!

We’ve come up with a list of things that only moms can relate to! If you’re a mom yourself, you’ll probably agree with most of the them. Head up to the gallery to see which ones apply to you!
