Any other lazy parents?

[FSUGrad97]

According to things I have read this board over the last couple years, I am a lazy parent because I have spanked and because I didn't breastfeed. I also let my poor child be raised in daycare when I went to work. I'm sure there is more, but I'm too lazy to think about it.

I am ready to just accept my laziness. Tonight when I go home, instead of cleaning the house, making sure homework is done, reading the things sent home from school, doing the laundry, getting my child a bath and ready for bed, and reading him a book, I'm just gonna plop down in front of the TV with a box of bon-bons. Anyone with me?

ME! But I'm even lazier than you since I'm still on maternity leave, and my oldest is at daycare now! She loves her friends and teachers, and the daycare has a great curriculum.

I tried to breastfeed for with my oldest. She was early, and she had NO patience and my milk wasn't coming in. She bit me (yes, 2 day old babies can bite even without teeth - my right nipple can attest to it) so hard it made me cry, it hurt so bad. At that point, my DH said, "We're giving her formula, and that's it." I agreed, and with my youngest, we went straight to formula.

I should be working on a paper for my grad school class, but I don't feel like it...

Bring on the bon-bons. I'm not only lazy, I'm irresponsible. I let my daughter who has been driving all of 4 days go sit in carpool to get her brother.

Well I spanked but the breastfeeding thing just didn't pan out for me ...so I must be lazy too

 

[Aidensmom]

Did you say, "Tonight when I get home..."

ARE YOU DISing from WORK??


Ok, that IS LAZY!

and fun, too!

I'm writing a software manual, I have to take DIS breaks to keep my brain going to mush. I need to save those brain cells for my TV watching.

You go - my son's drivers license brought with it a whole new type of independence for ME not him, he is regulated to take over carpooling his sister and her posse whenever I am to lazy to do it which is more and more frequent.

Hey, where are the bon-bons? Share, pass some this way.....

Me! I'm lazy too! I work full time, travel occasionally, and when I had to bring DD to daycare we used to drive thru Dunkin Donuts for breakfast!!

Now, I pay for her to have hot lunch at school (so much faster than having to actually make lunch), give her money for a snack, let her take the bus, and will let her watch tv.....

Pass the bon-bons, please!

Go laziness!!! I didn't breastfeed, I used disposable diapers, I fed my kids jarred baby food, and I do spank on occassion (and yes, on other boards, I've been put down for all of those choices).

I work from home, so my kids started preschool at young ages, and even when they are home, they often have to entertain themselves...because I am obviously too lazy to play with them.

Of course, I never knew lazy encompassed cleaning, cooking, laundry, basketball and baseball games and practices, helping with homework, volunteering for a local music program in the schools, and training to be a Cub Scout den leader.

Phew! If I were any more lazy, I wouldn't know what to do with myself!

Yes, and when they want to take their lunch, there are those wonderful, nutritious things called Lunchables that they have to pack themselves along with something sugary and something fatty!


Still looking for a Bon-Bon

The happiest day of my life was when my ds started walking--he could go get me the TV remote and I didn't have to get up off the couch!

 

[tluvstink]

Well call me lazy too!! I didn't breastfeed, both DDs went to daycare, my house was never what I would call spotless and dinner was catered by Taco Bell and Dominoes too often. My DDs are 13 and 10. They pack their own lunches and make their own breakfast. Is their a club and how would I join? Oh wait, I would be too lazy to go the meetings.

Well lets see. Nogin is on for the 4th stright hour at my house now. (and that is a good day for us, we were out shopping this morning, needed more huggies.)

I did breastfed, that really was lazy for me. I couldn't be bothered with bottles or to pay for it. I am way to lazy to wash as many bottles as needed and I can nurse laying down. Lazy works both ways.

Pass the bon-bons.

Im LAZY

I did breast feed just so I didnt have to pay the $$$ for formula.
I make the kids walk to school 2blocks I can see the school from our yard.
I let the kids watch TV for hours on end so I can get things done.
I spank!
I let the kids eat foods they want once and awhile.
Sometimes if the kids fall asleep on the couch they stay there. Not on school nights.
They crawl in bed W/ us sometimes, I let them stay if it is around 4am why get up and take them back I need to sleep.
DH and I go awway sometimes W/ out kids so we can have together time.
When they were babies let them cry to sleep. didnt let them cry forever though.
Have a baby sitter that comes over in the summer while I work at the pool.
They go to daycare during the school year when I sub.
I make the rules. BECAUSE I SAID SO!!
Sometimes we just lay around and do nothing.
I dont think that everything needs to be structured.
Tell them to go play.

I'm too lazy to take the wheels out my kids' heelies before going to the store.

Ha! You stole my line. (or something similar)

 

[DisneyPhD]

You know those bumper stickers? "if you can read this....... you are too close?"

I think you have your answer.

Are you a lazy parent?

If you are reading this thread................ You know the rest.

 

[birdiesunshine]

I'll admit to being lazy with you. Didn't breastfeed my first DD and not breastfeeding with this one either. Oh but that doesn't have anything to do with being lazy, just not my style. Must just mean I'm a bad mommy. I did just turn on the t.v. for my dd to watch cartoons while I napped for 45 minutes, Now that's lazy. Oh and I'm not feeling bon bons, just pass the gallon of chocoate ice cream

I let them lick the batter in the bowl, even if it contains eggs. Never been sick.

Heck DS2 found something under the couch cant rember what it was little dusty, but he ate it. I knew I had made it during the week. Hes fine. I think it was a roll.

Not a 3 sec. rule, one week rule!

I dont rush them to the Doctor for every little cough, runny nose, sneeze.

I'm lazy because I have a cleaning lady, even though I'm a SAHM. I do a little cleaning in between her visits, but can't be bothered to do the whole house at once.

I've used a harness, fed them jarred baby food and used only disposable diapers (well, except as a burp cloth).

I let the kids into our bed because I'm too lazy to get up and take them back to their rooms after a bad dream. Sometimes if I can't get back to sleep, I just leave them there, get up and go sleep in their beds, because it's easier than moving them.

I carried them in the little car seat bucket when they were infants instead of taking them out and holding them in my arms when running errands.

But I'm with DisneyPhD on the breastfeeding. I breastfed one and tried with the other because I was too lazy to mix formula and wash bottles, especially in the middle of the night.
