50 'signs' you're a mum - do you agree?

So apparently being a mum can be summed up in 50 easy signs. While there are undoubtedly things that only people who are mothers can understand (the random things lurking in your post-baby handbag being one of them), we're pretty sure these 50 things are selling the whole experience of motherhood pretty short.

A survey of 2,000 women by Asda has revealed the most common identifying features of being a mum.

A spokesperson for the supermarket said: "Mums have a natural instinct to be prepared for all eventualities when they have children.

"From stocking up on milk to always having nappies, tissues and wet wipes stored away in their handbag - mum is most definitely a 'wonder woman'.

"We can tell that mum rarely puts herself first, and when she finally gets round to relaxing in the evening with a nice glass of red, it ends up going straight to her head.

"These top fifty signs of being a mum have taught us a lot and while many can give you a little giggle, we recognise they really go out of their way to make sure their children are happy and healthy."

We're on the fence. Yes, we may know all the words to Frozen songs (love really is an open door) but we're pretty there's a lot more to being a mum than these 50 little things.

That being said, we do find ourselves identifying with well over half of this list - although we'd love to meet the mum who actually gets to go to bed at 9pm!
