When people say that your life will change when you have children, you imagine that they go about not sleeping and not having time for yourself, that too. What they don't tell you is that moms develop something like "super powers" to meet the demands of babies.
Or were you able to slide through the room without just touching the floor when you fall asleep? Could you measure the body temperature of another human being better than any thermometer just by bringing your lips to your forehead? We review those Curious skills you learn when you become a mother or father.
Ninja tactics not to wake him up

You can take months without having stepped on the gym and with all the kilos of pregnancy still stuck to your body, that you become the most agile and light person when the baby falls asleep (finally). Here the subtlety is the key and each father has his technique: some choose to make fast and precise ninja movements and others to use the lazy technique and then there is this mother, who is a professional. In both cases, a creaking floor or a badly greased ankle can annoy the operation.
Do things with one hand (and even with your feet!)
When you have a child, you discover that almost everything can be done with the baby in your arms. Vacuuming, eating a brave cap or going to the bathroom will no longer be things you do alone. I swear I've seen a mom write with her right hand because her baby had fallen asleep on her left tit… being left handed!
But with the lower extremities, like those of the girl above, fantastic skills are also developed such as making the clamp with the big toe to reach clothes, toys, the phone ... Some twins have even perfected their technique to give them the bottle with the feet.
Do a thousand things at once
Multitasking reaches unexpected dimensions when the baby comes into play. If before talking on the phone while preparing dinner seemed the most, now you will be able to shave with one hand and brush your teeth with the other while humming a children's song or preparing food while watching a series on the mobile. Feet, what do I love you for? Well, to rock the baby while, of course.
Break the space / time rules
Yes, moms can convert one hour to five minutes. Or wasn't that the time you needed before to get ready and leave the house and what it takes now? (Well, let's leave it at home). To do your things in the bathroom is traca. Sometimes it will be time to have that personal moment with a child in your arms. Others, with one (or more than one) as public and, when they are a little older, a classic: in the dark (Yes, the switch is off. Yes, you have run out of battery and once again yes , you have already told your son to turn on the light and it has passed from you). If you are surprised by these customs in the bathroom, look at what Jessica Biel does to have a moment of tranquility.
Medical experts
The mothers seem to take the children to the pediatrician for confirming the diagnosis, because what happens to them we already know: "he has an acute otitis media face, it is very clear". With the passing of the years and the successive viruses and bacteria that children are taking according to the season, we become experts, we know how to detect when they are going to get sick and some can even compete with the thermometer in accuracy when knowing how much Fever has its offspring.
Selective vision
Those who were untidy before having children do not have that problem, but for lovers of home harmony it becomes a real torture to see the amount of junk, toys, clothes, food ... that invade every corner of the house. For this we develop the selective vision: where is that mountain of clothes to be ironed? Do you see her I do not. This is a skill that becomes very useful when they are older and do something that, in normal circumstances, you would not approve, but you are too tired to scold them. Out of sight…
It seems that having a child is an accelerated "superpower" course. Here we have summed up a few curious skills you learn when you become a mother. Which are yours?
