Sometimes life can come at you so fast, that you don't realise that you've suddenly become an adult. With two children (and one on the way), properties, and several businesses to take care of, life has suddenly crept up on Khadija. But what to do when this sense of overwhelm suddenly hits you?

In her unique, humorous and relatable way, Khadija talks about going from carefree to responsible; from happy-go-lucky to high-level-accountable, and all the small things about the process that drive her mad.

You've never heard Khadija keep it as real as this before! Buckle up, adults...

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The transition from carefree-life to responsible-adult arrives without you knowing it. One minute you're planning where to meet your friends for brunch on a Saturday, the next you find yourself acting as referee to your children and trying to keep the dog exercised!
• You have to be a “grown up”, even if you're feeling sick and unhappy. It's even worse when you're pregnant, and you have so much to deal with.
• Kids grow up so fast, but they want to be held, carried and nurtured. Where do you draw the line? At what point do you stop carrying them? Once you do stop, you're almost declaring their infancy to be over. It's hard for parents to make that decision.
• There's so much pressure on parents to keep their kids healthy, and to make sure they eat nutritiously. But sometimes it's so much easier to go for convenience!
• Being an adult is made so much worse by the expectations piled on by society. As if we don't have enough to deal with, we are also made to feel like bad parents by outsiders who want us to be doing better.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When the f**k did I grow up?'

'There was one day in all of our lives when our parents stopped picking us up'

‘Being grown up sucks!'

‘Yeah, but do you know what's quicker? KFC!'

‘I'd rather keep my wash pile down if you don't mind'
