10 Things That Happen When You're A Broody Female

5. You've Got So Much Sympathy For Mothers In Public

It's not uncommon to walk up the crisps aisle in your local supermarket and witness a mother having a mental breakdown while her children scream for Wotsits. While most people would walk past and cast angry looks at this seemingly out of control family, you always take it upon your self to intervene. While the mother clings to the handle of her trolley and hyperventilates over Tom and Sandy's incessant whining, you kneel down and talk gently to Tom and Sandy and try to soothe over the situation. It doesn't always work: sometimes these mothers will get offended with you and tell you "we're all right, thank you very much", shunning your attempts to bond with the little people. But other times it's worth it; sometimes these mums just need a helping hand, and you want practise for when you've got a tribe of little monkeys of your own.
