You Might Be a Disabled Mom if...

There are so many common experiences for every mother, but there are a few that I find myself giggling about because of their unique circumstances.

Dinosaur!
  • You've burned your lap bringing dinner to the table.

  • Sometimes it is safer for the 3 year old to carry something than Mommy depending on terrain.
  • You've ever balanced on one leg/one crutch/up a step on wheels while your kid spotted you.
  • You take your little one to more of your doctor's appointments than their own.
  • You were excited when your child could help you put your shoes on.
  • You've tossed imaginary objects (keys, potions, jewels) to the jungle gym from the playground bench
  • You fall down just as much as as your toddler.
  • You were surprised how quickly your kid was better at walking than you are.
  • You've bent over to pick up a toy and rolled over your own foot.
  • You've been tangled wheelchair around laptop cord, purse around crutch handle, foot through cord and simultaneously ripped something from the wall/dumpped something while hitting the deck.
  • You clean to gain passage through a room rather than for tidiness
  • Your kid is the only kid on the playground who gets hurts, gets up and comes to Mommy before she cries
  • Your kid has left you stranded by running away with your means of transportation (Usually while you're on the toilet or in bed).
  • Your kid thinks Mommy's picture is all over the parking lots
  • If you're skilled at pushing something on wheels while you yourself are on wheels
  • Your kids can literally push you around!
  • Your kid squeals with glee at the novelty of being given permission to climb a flight of stairs in a public building rather than ride the elevator again
  • Your child learned to walk on your walker

Stand Up

    1. I thought about saying how I'm a literal piece of furniture because she sits on me or a step ladder because she climbs me when I'm in the wheelchair to get things. (:

  4. I have another one...If you feel jealous of your toddler comfortly sitting in the shopping cart. I walk with crutches and get tired when shopping. I glance at my toddler and wish I was in his place.

    1. I've totally wished I could ride in the cart (: I finally broke down and started using the electric ones and letting her ride in my lap.
