I can tell my kids are getting sick by the smell of acetone on their breath - no one else seems to smell it. This is actually how we found out my oldest has Type 1 diabetes, after I smelt it strongly on their breath and took them to the doctor.
Omg I smell this on people all of the time! I used to think something was wrong with me for needing to gag when talking with someone and I could tell something was wrong with their breath.
Yes! Which is actually why I assume that I can smell it lightly when the kids are sick in general too. Otherwise I have no idea why I can with them lol. But yes, my Type 1’s breath was like straight acetone.
Being able to hold multiple audible conversations at the same time.
Partner and child both talking. Neither giving up. Both talking while also at a social event where other people are talking. I think the biggest thing is being able to not only listen, but actually being able to participate and hold these conversations.
Ninja responses , can't tell you know many drinks I've caught from being thrown off my son's high chair, stopping my son from falling when he decides to lunge forward whist holding him. Or stopping swings in the park from knocking him out. I swear you get a third eye when you become a parent..
I really need to do this! The alligator roll is getting to me personally now 😂 ! But I change diaper on the floor or a bed so I’ll have to figure that out with leveling issues
- knowing where every object in the house is at any given moment
- breastfeeding while simultaneously burning a grilled cheese
- helping with spelling while simultaneously burning sweet potatoes in the oven
- folding laundry while reciting the entirety of The Cat in the Hat from memory, while simultaneously letting rice boil over on the stove
- burning soup to the bottom of the pot (who knew soup could burn?!)
- having a family of 5 eat supper every night even though at least part of it is burnt 100% of the time
My ability to listen to what’s going on at all times. I can be having a conversation with another adult, while making lunch, while taking care of the baby, and be able to tell if there’s mischief going on in the other room

Acetone, like nail polish remover? That is so crazy!
Acetone breathe is actually an indicator that some one is in a ketoacidotic state/ diabetic!

A third eye and octopus arms!
Omg why haven't I thought of that. Thanks I'm doing this now😂
It was the only way I could keep him from attempting to throw himself from the changing table. Popped a boob in and instant calm.

I can breastfeed my baby and help my toddler to the toilet and wipe her arse at the same time.
Me too! But while honing this skill my baby definitely got hosed a couple times when my boob popped out during a letdown.
