I remember reading that your brain actually shrinks temporarily after you have kids!
LOL I don't know about the Wii fit, but one of those brainbooster games for the DS might have been more apporpriate 
What... you remembered Squiggs?
Actually my daughter, mother of a 14 month old, says she has memory trouble.

Ok - you got me there!!!
Maybe my memory is improving LOL
I see I've opened up a memory dialogue
It's Nature's way of making us forget how good it feels to be single, childless, and fancy-free!!
Okay, just kidding! Motherhood's great, really!

Is it Motherhood or Menopause or both?
Yesterday I was having dinner with my 23 year-old daughter and asked her a simple question. She put her fork down very slowly, took both my hands in hers and looked deep into my eyes and said, "Mum, I've answered this same question from you the last three times that we've been together. Shall I write it down so you'll remember it?" I said to her, "I think it's the menopause, I can't remember anything anymore." To which she replied, "Don't be so hard on yourself...you've always been like this, we just were young and didn't want to hurt your feelings so we repeated ourselves...often."
Good kids!!

Krissy,
We have twins, this is what my daughter does and says, I keep asking her same thing over and over, only she tells me that she forgets things too, so not to worry, LOL.
I think when we are under stress of any kind, we become forgetful, but to the fariness, I always been upset minded since I remember myself and used to misplace and lose things.
I still remember my late mom looking for her wallet for 3 hours straight, we turned the house upside down, and the wallet was found on her night stand, behind the alarm clock. She was 47 at that time
.Cheers
