Found this on cm friends facebook and it made me laugh!
You know you're a Childminder when..
You know all the words to the Dora the Explorer theme song but not a single chart song
You know more about Iggle Piggle's day than your own partner's
Doing 15+ nappies a day is the norm and you're sure you hold some kind of record
You can make playdough better than you can make lasagne
You have perfected 'the look' when a child misbehaves and sometimes use it on friends/family/checkout staff
You can get 6 children to sleep within 20minutes flat without using hypnosis or alcohol
You find yourself saying 'I'm not going to tell you again' then repeating it 5minutes later
You catch yourself arranging your partner's lunch into a 'smiley face' so he eats it all up
Checking your hair for headlice becomes a major part of your beauty regime.
The word OFSTED makes you break out in a rash
You no longer decorate your home, and tell visitors the handprints and smudges on the walls give it a 'unique look'
Your garage resembles Mothercare's pushchair/carseat department
You can no longer have passengers over 5 years old in your car due to the number of car seats
Being asked by curious strangers 'are all these yours?' is a daily event
You can't remember the last time you sat on your sofa without sitting on a toy, Lego piece or juice cup
You have bead frames and jigsaws where you used to have fancy ornaments and candles
Kids love visiting your house, adults avoid it
You regularly get in from a day out to find you've had a sticker/baby sick/food stuck to your leg all day
You no longer throw anything away. That milk bottle? It's now a rocket. That cereal box? Obviously a robot body.
You consider Mummy Pig, Mummy Rabbit and Mummy Zebra as some of your closest friends
Navigating through your house like its an obstacle course; through baby gates, over toys, under hanging displays. You know the drill.
Your neighbours don't talk to you as much as they used to
You finish your day covered in glue, glitter, snot, milk and paint and CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW!
