Worst mom award

[MissyBrenda]

Since I'm a new mommy, anything I do that makes DD4months cry just breaks my heart. I'm going to have to get tough one of these days.

Anyway, she's had a cold and cough for about 3 weeks now. We were bad mommy and daddy by holding her down and using the aspirator to clear up some of the snot she's saving up her nose. Oh, and then wrapping her up and forcing the anibiotic down her throat.

I'm sure I'll have more great stories as she gets older, she already likes to share her opinions quite frequently!!

I forgot my 5 year old at vacation bible school the other day. I picked up my 8 year old and his 2 cousins and we left and walked to my car which was parked at my sisters house a few houses away. My son started talking about something which made me think about my 5 year old (where was he anyways??) Oh yeah, we forgot to pick him up. I ran all the way back to get him. I can't believe I did that.

TOO FUNNY!

DD6 "invited" me and DS5months to watch a movie in her room. We went in and sat on the bed with her and DS spit up on her bed.
"Mom!!!!!!!! What are you thinking letting him throw up white chunks on my bed!" I reminded her that we were invited guests and she said I was bad and should control that little boy!

OMG!! This one is MY DD5!! When she has a fit she is sent to her room. When we brought DS home from the hospital he cried ALOT After a few days, she said since he's crying - "Shouldn't he go to HIS room?!"

In an effort to teach my three year old to save money, I refused to pony up a few extra bucks to add to the $5 Nana and Poppy gave him. So he could buy another engine from the Thomas the Tank Engine series.

The truth is it was probably harder on me than it was him. lol

I've told my boys not to let the puppy run loose in their rooms or they'll have to clean up any accidents(she's got the peeing part down, but is a bit of a private pooper so we're still working on that) The other day she left a present when DS8 was on duy (no pun intended ) and I stood by my word and made him clean it up (pick it up with TP and flush it, sheesh) The whole time I heard 'This is disgusting, this is not fair, this is gross, she's a bad puppy.' I'm surprised he could say anything tho with that huge pout on his mouth.

My true bad mom moment was when DS6 was a baby. I was taking a couch cat nap and older DS came up and asked where the baby was. I freaked out and ran around looking for him. At one point I saw a window open (screen in place) and in my drowsey stupor thought 'Oh god he's gone out the window!' and proceed to run outside looking for him. Didn't find him, ran back in to sweep the house again and glance in his room...and see him sleeping in his crib, where I put him, which was why I was naping in the first place. I just hope the neighbors weren't watching my house that day. Tired moms shouldn't be asked questions

Oh I love this!

Both my boys DS4 and DS7 day because they were brothers.....they are "marched enemies"....But now they are playing happily together, funny they were marched just 5 minutes ago.

I made horrendous thunder storms roll through the area around 3:30 this afternoon, forcing the swim meet to be cancelled tonight. Yes - I am Mother Nature and possess the ability to make crappy weather just to piss off the kids of the world. When I informed the kids of this (6 year old b/g twins and a 5 year old boy) my daughter actually asked me, in her snottiest tone, if it is my only job to give them bad news and never allow them to do anything fun?!

And then she spent 20 minutes cleaning the bathroom since 'Mother Nature' exploded and punished her for the attitude!!!

ok ok....when I was a total "rookie mom", my oldest DD was about 5 months old and DH and I decided to take her on her first official hike in the woods. We start our journey, with DD facing out in the Baby Bjorn, about a mile into the walk, we realize that the sun is beating down on her and we have no hat OR sunscreen... I'm digging through the diaper bag, panicing, trying to think of SOME solution to this dilemma.... We found the solution....DIAPERS!!!! We wrapped a diaper around each arm, and, of course a diaper wrapped around her head. People walking opposite us on the trail gave us and our baby the funniest look. All we could say was, "Rookie parents....."

I am the mom who made her 3 year old take her medicine (the horror!) It involved one heck of a tantrum, locking her out of her toy room and not allowing her to watch any cartoons. (This is after she spit out a dose at her dad).

I am 100% sure that the Cruella DeVille theme plays in her mind when I enter the room.


Next time I am asking the doctor if he can just give her a shot of something

Thank goodness she finally took it (it was the lack of cartoons that finally got to her this evening).

I hope you took a picture. Maybe your DD will have the same tag as you some day when she posts "Didn't everyone's mom wrap them in diapers or was my mom just weird?"


Today I took mine uniform shopping today also and DD said the skirts were "freakishly long".
Then we hit Staples, Target, and Office Depot. The kids had had it after Target, but OD is in the same parking lot. Luckily I am done shopping for school supplies!

Glad to see I'm not the only terrible mother in the world!

I wear my mean old mommy badge with pride.

Today was silly hair day in the summer program at our daycare. This morning I had spiked DS5's hair up and sprayed it blue.
He asked if I could respray it when we got home because, he wanted to go outside and play the "blue-hair game"
I told him no, since he has school tomorrow and it needed to be washed out.
He wasn't happy with that answer and tried to bargain for more blue hairspray.

When my younger DS was 2 1/2, he and I and his older brother were outside playing in our yard (we live in the middle of nowhere). The phone rang in the house, I left FOR A MINUTE, grabbed the phone, and ran back outside (I was going to talk outside). Yep, DS2 was gone!!!!! I TOTALLY freaked out. I was gone 1 minute, MAX!!! Then I remembered hearing a car go by (we don't get much traffic) and thought that it had slowed down in front of our house. I was HYSTERICAL!!! I'm running around the house, yelling for him and no answer. I'm crying and in a panic. 4 guys on bikes come riding by and see me - CRAZY MOM - and they stop and ask what was going on. They helped me look and try to calm me. He was found walking around the back of the garden, looking at bugs. I couldn't see him because the sunflowers blocked my view.

I learned SEVERAL things that day, but the most surprising one was that a 1 1/2 year old can't answer a mom calling for him when he's busy looking at bugs.

Seriously, he was gone for less than 5 minutes, but I was a nervous wreck for days!!!!

This cracked me up because it sounds just like my house. My DS7 likes for the baby and I to hang out with him in his room sometimes, but let my 6 month old drool or spit up and it's just horrible. LOL So, I try to convince the 7 year old to come watch TV in our room instead.

I'm sure I'll have more great stories as she gets older, she already likes to share her opinions quite frequently!!

Awwww...I HATED when I had to use the aspirator thingy! My 6 month old screams! But he is really good at taking any meds we have to give him. I just use the same meds spoon we have for my 7 year old and just kinda leave it in his mouth until he swallows. LOL

I told my kids (ds7 and dd6) that today they have to be children of the 80's. They asked what that meant, and I said you have to be a child like I was. And they asked what that meant. I said, today is a beautiful day (75-80, no humidity, sunny) and we have company coming this weekend, so I have to clean the house, do laundry, prepare food. On a day like this, when I was a kid in the 80's my mom would say "Go outside, and leave me alone. It is not my responsibility to play with you today, to make sure you are occupied or having a good time. You will amuse yourself, all day, outside. I will feed you lunch, outside, and that is it. You may come in to get anything you want and take it outside, but remember at the end of the day, you have to bring whatever you took outside back inside and put it away. But today, it is not my job to amuse you, it is my job to get this house ready for the company that is coming in to see you. The one requirement is that you stay in our backyard, frontyard, or woods behind our house (that was different from when I was a kid, my mom didn't care if I roamed the neighborhood, as long as I was back by dinner)"

Now, I realize some may think I'm a terrible mom for choosing cleaning my house over playing with my kids. But let me just say it is Thursday, on Monday I took them to the local water park all day, on Tuesday we went to the pool all day and then I took them to watch their friend at her swim meet that night, on Wednesday I took them to lunch and then out so my dd could buy a webkin and my ds could by a video game (they had both saved up their own money). And this Friday, Saturday and Sunday the grandparents will be in, and when they are here it is all about spoiling the grandkids 24/7 (which is how it sould be).

So today I am making my kids play outside on a beautiful day and use their imagination, while I clean the house. No Xbox, TV or computer games. They are going to see what it was like when I was a kid, and today, I am going to be like my mother, whom at times I thought was the worst mom, but now I can look back and realize she really wasn't all that bad!!

Oh, I needed this thread today!!!

I also read a mother's blog (mothergoosemouse.com) which is thought provoking, funny, and makes one realize that being a parent is a hard, but entertaining job.

I often tell the kids, "you're right, I am the meanest mom you've got".

I love the stories, as I have been victim to many of the same scenarios.

Keep it up, my mood has just imporved 100%

Aspirator? I thought it was the "snot sucker"!

My son wanted a new toy and I said no. He said I was a mean mommy and he wanted a new one. I said fine, I would find one. On our way home I pointed out a bunch of women who could replace me. Once on our street I saw two of our teenage neighbors and asked if they wanted a new little brother becaause I was mean and he wanted a new mommmy.

They said yes, since they knew Iwas `kidding. DS, then 4.5 started to cry. When we pulled in the driveway he said, why would you want to give away your kid? I told him, he's the one who wanted a new mommy.

I felt so bad afterwards. I told him I would never give him away and just because he doesn't get everything he wants, it doen't make me mean. I feel bad thinking about it now... and he'll be 6 in two weeks
