Ah age, the wonderful bittersweet part of life, it seems to quicken the minute you have children.

- A night in is actually your favourite kind of night
- You'd opt for comfort over style any day
- Napping is your favourite past-time
- Woolly jumpers are your clothing of choice
- You always have an umbrella handy, just in case like
- You’re flabbergasted by how “young wans” can do anything “with those nails”
- Flats over heels any day
- Make that runners over flat shoes
- Leggings are your go-to for every occasion
- The music is always too loud
- "And sure they don’t even make music like they used" is something you constantly hear yourself saying
- Sitting down hurts
- Standing up hurts
- You have a creaky knee
- You’d prefer to stay in because “the hangover is just not worth it”
- Nothing beats a good cup of tea
- You have a throw over your chair which you wrap yourself in every time you sit down
- You finally understand where your mother was coming from
- Slippers are your go-to shoes
- You have snacks in your bag
- Talking about your bag, it’s like a mini medicine cabinet in there
Sure it won't be long until you've officially turned into your mother.
