Ko sem prebrala ta članek sem se od srca nasmejala. Kako tudi ne. Sama sem kriva za kar nekaj posebnih prigod v času odkar sem mama. Enkrat ta teden me je prišel hišnik iskat v jutranje varstvo-ker sem pustila ključe v avtu. Enkrat se spomnim da sem šla že kar proti Vrhniki-z malo v avtu. Še k sreci,da sem pri Termopolu lahko že obrnila. “Pregnancy brain” in sedaj “mom brain” zame ni le mit. Velikokrat kaj pozabim. A tolažim se, da je to pač znamenje da imam trenutno ogromno stvari s katerimi žongliram. Moji možgani so kot en multitasking stroj-in potem vedno kaj pade stran. Ker jim pač preveč dogaja, ne premalo.
tole je pa ta članekhttp://www.babble.com/parenting/things-parents-have-forgotten-this-week/
.Everyone talks about pregnancy brain but what they don’t talk about? Mom brain.
Last week I picked my oldest daughter up from school and headed to the grocery store. I usually try to avoid going to the grocery store with all three kids because it’s not easy, but I had no other choice that day.
So we went to the store, packed the cart with necessities, (plus extras that the kids threw in) and headed for the check-out counter. As the cashier rang us up, I reached into my bag for my wallet — only to discover that it wasn’t there.
Yep, I spent over an hour lugging all three kids into the grocery store, dealing with the craziness of actually having said three kids while grocery shopping, and ended up walking out empty handed. I was completely embarrassed and had to drive all of the way home and back to pay for the groceries.
I wish I could tell you that that was it for the week, but my brain failed me yet again when I walked out of the house to take my daughters to school a couple days later. As I got into the car, I realized that I’d walked out without any shoes on. Thankfully I hadn’t left the driveway yet, so I still had time to run in and fix my mistake.
So you see, mom brain is very real. I am constantly forgetting to do things throughout the day or will do something and completely forgot that I’ve done it. I love my kids, but they are officially making me lose my mind!
And I’m not the only one. I asked some other moms to let me know what they’ve forgotten lately due to mom brain, and they make me feel better knowing I’m not the only one that’s losing her marbles (and her wallet).
