'Owayer Doing?

For anyone not fluent in broad Yorkshire, 'owayer doing = how are you doing? 

And you get asked this a lot after just having a baby. And here is what I say versus what I mean...

"I'm so tired!"
aka I am so sleep deprived I somehow managed to put my child's sleep suit on sideways.

"Good considering!"
aka good considering I am emotionally and mentally fragile.

"Alreet thanks!"
aka alreet currently but that's because she's fed, winded, changed and asleep. ask me again in a bit when I'm crying because I have no idea what I'm doing.

"Shit"
aka shit.


Disclaimer: I am honest with my family and close friends when they ask me how I am. And despite my candidness above, I do love my child more than anything.
