Any other lazy parents?

[hello kitty]

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!

You just made me choke on my bonbon! (literally)

*passes the bonbons*

*one gallon of chocolate ice cream to birdiesunshine*

I'm too lazy to even attempt a list.

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

That is why all of your kids are just average.

 

[almburr]

Average WOOHOO!

Hey if it hasnt sprouted legs and fights back or isn't moldy its fair game!

 

[minnieandme]

Count me in..... I do give spankings. As a matter of fact I told DS13 the other day that he needed one. His response was "but why, I'm the good one"

I let them fix their own dinner cause I'm too lazy to do it (microwave popcorn does wonders in my house)

They were bottlefed and wore disposable diapers.

They both went to in-home daycare and after school care so I can work outside the home.

They ride the bus to and from school cause I have to work. No time to take them in the morning. If I decide to play hooky from work, they still get to ride the bus.

I'll join the club. My kids were just outside- sledding and getting soaked. I was just glad to not hear them complain about being bored.

They just came in, and now, are sweeping the floors, unloading the dishwasher, and just started a load of laundry. Yes-my 8 Y.O does better laundry, than I do.

HELLO, MY NAME IS KIM, and I'M A LAZY PARENT!!!!

Lazy lazy lazy - I'm right there with you.

I did breastfeed, but in a lazy way since I often fell asleep while I was nursing, and had to pump at work.

I am lazy because my kids have gone to a home day care since they were small. I truly believe that other people, besides DH and me, can teach my kids something - but I am just saying that because I am lazy.

I let my kids play by themselves all the time. I let them ride the bus. I let them go to gymnastics by themselves. I leave them to go on vacations and trips without them.

I don't always wash their bodies and hair when they take baths. I figure they do a good enough job themselves, and soak in the tub for such a long time, they are bound to be clean. Or, is it beacuse I am lazy?

I don't interfere and solve or break up every argument or problem they ave with one another. I say I am letting them learn to handle things on their own, you might say I am lazy.

I don't jump on their teachers every time they complain about something at school, and I give the teachers the benefit of the doubt at all times. I'm just too lazy to deal with it, I guess.

If I am lazy because I am trying to teach my kids some independence, self-esteem, and maintain a life for myself at the same time, then call me Queen of Lazytown!

This made me laugh outloud!! I'm glad I'm not the only one!! DH is constantly saying to me "did you WASH them or are they just sitting in there??"

 

[babytrees]

This is how lazy I am........we went to a late lunch on Sunday for my birthday about 3pm and I knew they would be to full to have dinner. Later that night we had cake and ice cream and they asked about dinner, I told them we had it early. They insisted that was lunch, I made a combo meal called "Linner". They bought it!

we call it lunner or dunch...depending on the time it's eaten.

I must be lazy because my girls get themselves up and to school. I thought I was teaching them independence now I know it's because I am lazy.

well you guys definitely have it all wrong on the Breastfeeding thing. Breastfeeding is for us lazy moms, I can't believe you guys all had to go to the store for formula, made up bottles, washed them, etc. I was waaaayy too lazy for that! In fact, I breastfed for years just so I wouldn't actually have to cook for her either. (kidding!)

The best thing about breastfeeding and the "family bed" is that when I went to bed at night with my baby, my feet never hit the floor again until morning. Now that's lazy, and I am proud to say, I am a lazy breastfeeding mama.

OK, continue on, I can't compete on the other stuff--let's just say my house is the messiest one on the block, I am sure.

 

[staley7580]

Oh, its nice to know that Im not the only lazy parent out there! Yesterday, I diddnt want to do dishes, so we went to Taco Time. When the baby gets on my nerves, I tell her brother to take her and go play in his room- she just loves all the big kid toys, and I just love the silence in the living room! On the nights my dh is home, and the baby wakes up, I kick himin the shin to wake him up so he can get her. I have even turned on cartoons so I could take a nap when I was sick. Lazy, lazy, lazy!

 

[glass- slippers]

But it's silly to say someone is lazy for not breastfeeding. I know what you mean though, there is always something! As long you didnt drink the breast milk for yourself and keep it from your child due to greediness... then I have no problem. My husband always wanted it. HELLO! Like we didnt have a half gallon of the regular stuff in the fridge! Whats up with that??????

OMG, too funny.

 

[ZachnElli]

Yeah, lazy here too. It's amazing how many punishments we can go through before we result to spanking, but since it's "quick" and "lazy" I guess we take the easy way out! I have to say the breastfeeding is actually the lazy way too. I have bio-kids and an adopted one and making bottles was alot more work, especially at 2am!

 

[amyup]

I'm completely lazy....as I type my 3 week old is sleeping in his carseat next to me because I want to play on the computer and don't want to risk waking him up to put him in his crib.

My older 2 boys are playing video games in their playroom and I probably won't interrupt them for another hour or so.

My DH isn't home tonight, so for dinner it will be mac n cheese or chicken nuggets.

I breastfeed and cosleep because I'm lazy and don't want to miss out on any sleep.

My house is a disaster and I'm really contemplating hiring a maid even though I'm a SAHM.

Oh yeah, when my oldest was 2 we taught him to get his sippy cup from the fridge and how to turn on the tv, just so we could get an extra 15 minutes of sleep.

 

[Chloe'sMom]

I'm a lazy parent, and my daughter is only 7 months!

*I didn't breastfeed
*I didn't have "natural" childbirth - bring on the drugs and a C-section!
*I use jar baby food
*I let my baby hang out in the exercsaucer and jumperoo for more then 30 minutes twice a day.
*I work, she goes to daycare.
*She is already familiar with Elmo on TV

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?

I am guilty of exactly the same things. Not only am I lazy, but I'm a proud mom who occasionally posts about DD's accomplishments. What a loser I am!

 

[almburr]

Heck take a nap in baby swing. Let them be/

We like to have Lupper. They always ask when is lunch . I tell them were having Lupper.

TV is a great babysitter

 

[Kae]

Yup to all the above plus My neighbor & I would Sit outside with & sometimes without our monitors.

You want lazy?

I'm so lazy I considered taking the kids to a movie tonight because it's BYOB (last b=bucket) 50 cent popcorn night and it would get me out of making dinner. I only decided against it because we've already seen all the kids movies out (yep, popcorn for dinner is one of my frequent offenses).

Breastfeeding? The only breast my kids get is chicken breast and...umm...that doesn't happen all that often, either.

Spanking? As needed. Usually the mere threat does the trick.

Laundry? I've got a pile of clean clothes in the corner that's almost as tall as my 4-year-old. My laundry routine is 1. sort 2. wash 3. dry 4. throw in pile until DH gets the urge to fold.

You gave him a home for 9 months and then endured pain so he could see the sun. What more should you have to do for him?
