For parents of children under six, the majority of the nights are more like a patchwork than a relaxing night's sleep. You go to bed far too late because you want to enjoy and enjoy the calm in the evening. And then at least one child sleeps very badly because it is badly dreamed or thirsty, has to go to the toilet, is sick or needs anything else.
To make matters worse and despite poor sleeping, children jump out of bed in the morning or often even before the sunrise. Parents can only dream of an eight -hour break. And so you drag yourself through the days and hopes that the next night will really get better.
If you are involuntarily familiar with all of this, you will also know these 10 things!
1. Not without my coffee!
The first thing you do in the morning after a quick shower is coffee. Because he is your elixir of life, your engine and without it you would probably fall asleep while standing. On the way to work or in kindergarten, the to-go cup is a must. Your motto: without coffee, without me.

2. Listen without listening
It happens to you at least once a day that in a conversation you have to remember to listen to your counterpart. Because your thoughts wander far too quickly. So better a cup of coffee against carelessness.
3. Mitteil nap for two
The children are actually too old for a afternoon sleep? At the weekend, however, this does not stop you from calling out a lunch break. The audio book of your children is then extra long and they can only wake mom when it ends. Everything is allowed between one and three, just not be loud.
4. Who turned the clock?
At some point for a tired mom, the coffee has to be over and therefore she will overcome the leading fatigue in the late afternoon. Who hasn't thought about presenting the clock in the living room a bit so that the little ones are a tiny little bit in bed? No, not me either! Would also be fatal, after all, they would be more on the mat. Or?
5. Master of confusion
You speak your colleagues too often with the name of your children, you basically put your little sister's clothes in the closet and again and again you will find yourself in a room without being able to remember what you wanted to do. These are by no means signs of early dementia. No, dear mom, that's your tiredness.
6. Built close to the water
7. You can't? Too bad ...
Come out, meet other people: great! But you regularly catch yourself that you are a little happy when a friend cancel an appointment. Especially in the evening. Because that means: You can fall asleep to bed or on the couch earlier than planned.
8. I'm briefly in the bathroom
The bathroom is often the only place where you can be alone for a short moment. You like to deceive the offspring a bladder weakness to just take a few minutes. (Fathers have been doing this for years and days) but be careful: don't forget to lock!

9. I'll do it tomorrow
When we pushed, we are tired mums world class. But the tiredness paralyzes so much on some days that you just create the bare essentials. But honestly: if the bare essential is everything we can do on some days, the end was still 100 %.
10. In the evening at eight on the sofa
Finally! The children are in bed! Now you can do what you want. Read, watch TV, make calls with a friend ... or just fell asleep five minutes later on the sofa.
