Thought of more....
When every package that arrives is full of various size lacoste sneakers
When signing up your family for day camp costs a mortgage plus more.
When the blow dryer has a permanent place on the bathroom vanity.
When there are so many versions of hair gels and face creams/washes I could open a store right out of my cabinet.
When you own 7 pink scooters!
When you don't need to ask the gender at your anatomy scan because you already know...

When your house is full of glitter. Even in place sit wasnt used. Even on the girls who didn't use it (how does the baby have glitter in her hair, she doesnt even use glitter??)
Lots of small feet stomping off saying "nobody understands me", and not just rhe pre-teens, even the 7 year old.
Lots of hugging, giving each other chills, doing each other's hair (even if one of them is whining that it hurts).
Stealing the baby's clothes to dress their dolls (where's the baby's shabbos dress??). And vice versa (who put mr potato head's glasses on the baby??)
Hearing "it's not fair!" multiple times a day.
Putting on plays for Ima constantly.
My husband always talking about being outnumbered.
And last but not least, oh the drama, so much drama!
I love my girls!

When one of your daughters doesn’t want something so you offer it to another one and then now they both really want it.
Can’t agree more with all the hairbrush ones! I keep a container of 200 colorful ponytails in my bedside table with a hairbrush since all of the other hairbrushes are constantly getting lost and I need an emergency backup one that won’t get moved.
Drama too!
The bedtime worries and stomachaches.
Elementary aged dd:
“Can we talk about something?”
“Sure, what do you want to talk about?”
“I don’t know. Tell me everything you did since you woke up this morning.” 😂
Toddler dd changing a minimum of 4 times a day to very specific outfits of her choosing.

Well, I am a girl Mom and I know it...one Chol Hamoed we went to a painting place, and DD and I collaborated on a hair-brush storage container made of ceramic. It is such a life-saver. The amount of hair-brushes that used to be piled on the vanity in the girls' bathroom....now all neatly in a cool stand-up container (I think it was actually intended for gardening tools.) I guess if you paint something like this, you are a girl Mom!
You should see my Amazon subscribe 'n' save, and the items that come monthly to my door. They definitely are geared to girls. Shampoo and bodywash (scented), cotton pads (for removing nail polish), various types of facial moisturizers and face-wash (each girl likes a different one), personal products.... I wonder what boy Moms have on theirs?

When you play 21 questions and the answer is a doll (And you actually know its name)
When you have a rack just for glittery back packs and fanny packs of all shapes and sizes (And each one has a specific use)
When Your scarf drawer is empty and you find them being used as doll carriers

So true about the hosiery store! It's a fortune! And the designed socks and tights are so cute it's hard to choose which to buy.

When your daughter is embarrassed of your ring tone.
When every time you turn around your face soap is missing.
When you need to reserve the shower hours in advance so you'll have hot water.
When one daughter won't go to sleep because the sister she shares a room with didn't take a shower that night.
When your youngest son plays kallah.
When your little boy says he thinks his morah is getting engaged.

You don't know what you're missing.
My girls will only use one specific type of one brand of deodorant. If store is out of it, oy vey....(for some interesting reason, it's expensive in the non-Jewish stores, but cheaper in Gourmet Glatt or NPGS in Lakewood...if they have it. Or Bingo, but I get there like maybe twice a year.) So yeah I stock up so we should never ch'v run out of it.
I was just noticing the collection of hairspray, hair gel, hair leave-in, mousse (not a dessert, boy Mom's), etc...in the girls bathroom. The variety of types and brands we have could rival Target.
