Mom's Dictionary.

Motherhood is entirely a different world. New routines, new priorities and yeah...even new words to learn. Or should I say, old dictionary words but with different meanings to adapt.
Check this out:
Bottle feeding: An opportunity for Daddy to get up at 2 am too.
Defense: What you'd better have around de yard if you're going to let the children play outside.
Drooling: How teething babies wash their chins.
Family planning: The art of spacing your children the proper distance apart to keep you on the edge of financial disaster
Full name: What you call your child when you're mad at him.
Grandparents: The people who think your children are wonderful even though they're sure you're not raising them right.
Independent: How we want our children to be as long as they do everything we say.
Look out: What it's too late for your child to do by the time you scream it.
Prenatal: When your life was still somewhat your own.
Prepared childbirth: A contradiction in terms.
Show off: A child who is more talented than yours.
Whoops: An exclamation that translates roughly into "get a sponge."

You made me smile - and it's not been a smiling day so far :) Thanks!
Hi! I particularly like your family planning definition. Oh! if only more Filipino couples know how to practice it according to your definition...
