I’m guessing I was about 8 when I recorded one of my worst “just you wait until you have children” Karma violations. I was sitting on my mothers bed, watching her change from her office clothes in to her now I’m going to clean the house, hang out the washing and cook you all dinner clothes.
In a chirpy, clueless voice I enquired with genuine interest “Who do you think is fatter, you or Aunty Margaret?”
My music choices are now questioned, little travelers giggle when I dance, my dress sense is discussed in a group forum and I am often woken up just to be reminded I have bad breath and mascara “panda eyes”. Thanks for that guys, just you wait until you have children.
As I was brushing the hair of little traveler number 2 yesterday she looked back at me through the reflection of the mirror in front of us and said “lots of people tell me I look like you”, I braced myself for the next horrifying personal observation when she continued “I like it when they say that, it makes me feel warm and happy”.
Okay, so thankfully, sometimes Karma works both ways.

It would’ve been like ice in your mum’s bedroom!!!

My little boy is still at the very sweet and very misguided stage of thinking his mum is ‘booiful’ and ‘pwetty’ so I am milking it for all it’s worth.
He’ll have the rest of his life to comment on my wattle, wrinkles and muffin top!
