when ds was a few days old, my sister in law called us to say that she had broken down a few mins from where we live (dd was already at nans house) do dh and i decided to go and see if we could help,
so we all got ready , put ds in his car seat etc etc ,
then when we got to where SIL was it turned out she started the car. she then asked where ds was, hubby replied in the back of the car,
hubby got back in the car looked in the back, looked at me with this face> :eek: and said where is DS?????
you can imagine the panic that went through us, i had visions of ds sat on the side of the road in his car seat. we screamed up the hill in the car.
it wasnt until we got to the top of the hill that i started swearing at dh as i had just remembered we dropped ds of at nannies on the way.

my god tell me about baby brain ....

At least you had an excuse! What was your husband's? :rotfl:

- I let her think she was lost in Bluewater shopping centre (I hid behind a pillar and could clearly see her all the time, it was quiet during the week) until she cried, so she knew what it felt like to be lost. She never ran off after that!! Think she was about 3 when I did that.

Mum once walked off and left me having a tantrum in a supermarket aisle...
I didn't know she'd only gone round the corner of the aisle and could see me over the stuff on the shelves... I don't recall having another tantrum in public... or ever misbehaving again in public... I kid you not!

Just remembered another one, I never bought a sterilisation unit thing for bottles, so I never sterilised any bottles for either baby (I did have a dishwasher though).

MrsTine, the walking off in a supermarket whilst my children had a tantrum worked for me too, they soon stopped it.

OMG that is hillarious!!!! I'd do stupid things like that... forget I'd dropped her off somewhere first and then panic!

lol tell me about it, i have to set alarms to remind me to pick the kids up at 3pm

it was always a long standing joke where i used to work that i would leave baby somewhere , i really have a terrible memory, and of course when i told them that story i never lived it down lol

I am being a bad mummy now - Jack is crying and I'm munching on 10 slices of crusty french stick (yes 10!) and a bowl of tomato soup with cheese.

He's crying cos he wants my dinner - olny had 5ozs of milk today cos he's poorly but demolished the apple puree I gave him for lunch!

My MIL never sterilised bottles, she didn't know what I was doing when she saw me sterilising my bottles. Also my mother told me she left me outside a shop[in the old days mothers used to leave their babies outside shops in their prams] My Mum forgot about me until she'd been home for 10 minutes.
