The Bad Mommy thread (daddies are welcome too!)

[Inigo]

My kids are 18 and 22. Every once in a while, DD18 will tease me about what a bad mommy I've been since I never bought her the Barbie Dream Boat she wanted when she was 5 or 6.

I know the rest of you have disappointed your kids too. What makes you a bad mommy or daddy?

Hehehe, my dd is 26 and she has never gotten over not getting that easy bake oven, I hear about it almost every single Christmas...one of these days I'm going to buy her one just as a joke to shut her up.

my mom apologizes for not buying me Flexi-Blocks when i was younger.

i'm 23 now...the teenage years were rough, but now things are great, so we joke that, maybe if she had just bought me the darn flexiblocks...

My son wrote a play about medieval knights when he was about 8 or 9. His grandmother made costumes, we painted background sets and his cousins all agreed to take part in his production. The whole thing was nearly bigger than Ben Hur.
Hubby and I refused his request for 2 horses so that there could be jousting in the backyard. He was one very upset little man!!!!

We are horrible parents
He did eventually take up horse riding but has yet to achieve his dream of wacking someone with a stick on the back of a horse.

I used to always complain that I never got one either and then two Christmas' ago my Mom friend got me one and it was so funny. Now I tease my mom that "Auntie" Connie is my favorite Mommy.

My dd 17 has wanted an Easy Bake oven for years. I could have sworn I bought her one when it was 'age appropriate' like in 3rd grade. She swears I never did..it was someone else. I guess with 2 sisters it IS a possibility she fell through the cracks but....

Anyway, this year she gets an easy bake. I can't take another day talking about it!
