London - Constantly dashing about, worried about your bedraggled appearance and wondering what to cook? Then you’re almost certainly a mom.
A study has revealed the 20 telltale signs that indicate that someone is a mother.
A poll of 2 000 British mothers found other common “traits” included looking tired, panicking about a late night and finding larger pants more comfortable. The study also found the average mom completes up to 59 jobs a day – and 27 percent fear the question “what’s for dinner?”. Rebecca Miah of food quality experts Red Tractor – which carried out the study – said: “Many of the top 20 signs focus on how rushed, tired and fraught they are, and it’s no wonder, as moms have so much to do every day.”
