10 Signs You're A Basic Mom

The smelliness, sleepiness, and silliness, every basic mom can relate to each other, and that's what makes motherhood so special. If there's anything mothers have in common, it's the ability to laugh at themselves.

Practically any momma can relate to these ten signs you're a basic mom. From weekly Target trips to Pinterest addictions, we've all been there.

This is the ultimate list of the tell-tale signs you are definitely a basic mom.

You could easily go to bed at 4 PM every day.

Four PM is the new 9 PM. First, of the top ten signs you're a basic mom, is the very obvious sign that you are exhausted. Especially for new mothers, finding the time to sleep is often a struggle. And the suggestion of "Just sleep when your baby sleeps," is ridiculous.

We've got more to get done during that time. And forget being able to sleep in. So yes, 4 PM sounds like a perfectly fine bedtime. That is if we didn't have to make dinner, do the laundry, make lunches, put the babies to bed, and watch The Bachelor before going to sleep.

You're a master at silly faces.

As one of the most fun signs you're a basic mom, becoming a master at silly faces is a given for all moms. You know exactly which faces work on your little one, and even have a few backups if it's an abnormally grump day.

Plus, you know just how to please other babies, and what they want to see from your face, which is typically ugly. A talent only mommas know, mastering the silly face is one that will take you far in life.

You have learned to eat exceptionally fast.

Somehow, your baby knows exactly when you don't want them to cry, and that's especially while you get some time to sit down to eat. So once you get a chance to have just one bite of warm food, something seems to happen. After you've learned this process, you have also learned how to eat a meal exceptionally fast.

And if you find yourself in a situation that doesn't require shoveling food into your mouth, you might have to catch yourself from finishing your meal before your company has even touched the appetizer. Just remember, it's a talent.

Your social media accounts are entirely about your baby.

Next, on our signs you're a basic mom is the fact that your entire social media presence might as well be renamed to your baby's name. Each post we make, we have to remind our followers and friends that we have an extremely adorable baby that doesn't just cry and poop.

And forget adding photos of you, because you haven't been able to get a decent photo of yourself out of sweatpants and with makeup on in months. And trying to take a full-body shot is completely out of the picture. Instagram is now taken over by your baby, and you're quite alright with that.

You have memorized every creak in your foorboards.

To be sure you don't wake your sleeping baby, you have memorized every single squeak, creak, and bump in your floorboards. This is especially true for old homes, and ones that seem to constantly be "settling" even though they have been standing for 100 years.

Yet another talent that moms can attest to, finding the best path to take coming up the stairs might take a bit of acrobatics. But it is well worth the silence, and the soundly sleeping baby.

You've thought to yourself "What's that smell?" just to realize it's you.

One of the most disheartening signs you're a basic mom, but one that every mother has been through, is discovering that that stinky smell is actually you.

Now, this can be from a bunch of different things. And it might even take you some time to discover what is making you stink. For example, it could be spit up, poop, pee, or simply the fact that you didn't have time to put deodorant on today, or maybe your dry shampoo failing you. Either way, it's not a proud moment, but one that all moms can relate to.

You have unlimited pairs of yoga pants and comfy sneakers.

The ultimate "mom fit" is yoga pants or leggings, sweatshirts or t-shirts, and comfy sneakers. If you don't leave the house for the day, opt out the sneakers with some fuzzy socks. As the basic uniform for most mommas, you've definitely sported this look at least a few times a week, or really whenever possible.

It's all about comfort, while being able to cover the problem areas, and still have a bit of tightness in the pants. Plus, you've got to have stretchiness if you're going to be chasing toddlers all day long.

You at least take one trip to Target a week.

Target is every mom's getaway. And as one of the top signs you're a basic mom, Target really is the place to be. And for moms, Target can almost be a getaway from reality, and a moment to themselves to indulge in the goodies that Target holds.

However, it can be dangerous... as we all know, Target is the source of many trips for one to two things, and coming back to the house with $80 worth of goods.

Pinterest is a serious addiction.

Pinterest might just be one of the most used phone apps for moms. Pinterest is the home to recipes, DIY projects, wardrobe ideas, party themes, and mom advice. What better place to spend the majority of your online time on for a mom?

Pinterest is often an addiction for moms, much like Twitter is for young adults. And it's really better this way, or else we would probably see way more Facebook and Instagram posts of babies if Pinterest wasn't preoccupying the moms.

And to complete our list of the top signs you're a basic mom, we, of course, had to mention coffee as being the source of sanity throughout most mother's days.

Coffee seems to be the only saving grace when it comes down to wanting to crawl into bed at 4 PM. Plus, who would be able to handle that early morning chaos without the safety blanket of coffee brewing in the kitchen?
