The Bad Mummies Thread

wannabe_sybil

I belong here...

LB is currently eating smarties. I am poorly, he is determined, he had sweeties for breakfast today.

And I have smacked him. I have smacked him for refusing to come away from a plug, for pulling the cat's tail and for pulling the cat's whiskers. Not only am I a bad mummy but I am bad at being a bad mummy - the tap on the hand I gave him only made him giggle.

I am counting the minutes until he goes to nursery today But I have to scrape the muck off him first...

And I make him wear socks more than one day

Edited to add - I am completely failing to get him potty trained. He is more stubborn than I am!

pigpen I love you! :rotfl: If all 8 are still alive then obviously it can't all be that bad!

I slap them when they are horrible.. it makes such a pretty sound

that made me laugh I have to say LOL

And the baby led weaning - I think I should read more books... I did this too at 4 months (yes 4!!!) because DD was trying to grab and consume everything I was eating (yes really... even my salad which is deeply concerning - small children surely should be drawn to chocolate and crap???) and she's still breathing... I think NOT reading all the parenting books has caused me far less stress than anything else I have read the annabel karmel food books for ideas... but I think that's it. I DID buy a second hand copy of supernanny for when she's older though

I presume dad's weren't excluded on purpose?

Not at all - you can join too It actually started with a different thread... and we felt that as we were obviously such inadequat mums we should have our own thread so as not to tarnish the good ones

my younger son wear socks all the time even in bed and night and i confess i never check that he has put a fresh pair on in the morning.
I dont count the number of boxers that go though the wash each week either so shock horror they could be wearing a pair of pants for more than one day

I'm joining too this was my reasoning from the other thread ;-)

Ive always used wipes and disposable nappies, always given calpol and gripe water and when i had my first child 11 yrs ago (ducks for cover before she says this) i dipped her dummy in whiskey when she was teething. I smoked through my first two pregnancies although i did give up after having DS1. I completely weaned my first two on jared food and must admit to having a few jars stashed this time round as well.
I also used to make DD & DS1 milk bottles in the morning and store them in the fridge till needed now i just make water bottles and add the powder later which apparently is just as bad.

Good god reading that lot anyone would think i hate my kids!!

Glamazon

My name's Glamazon and I'm a bad Mummy

I ate rare steak & runny eggs whilst pregnant
I drank the odd glass of wine when pregnant
I use wipes & disposable nappies
I FF Jack from 3 days old
I put him on Hungry Baby Milk at 11 weeks
I started weaning him at 18 weeks
I have started giving him jars of food
I put him down to sleep on his front
I put him down to sleep with a dummy AND a little pat on his back
I leave a nightlight on for him ALL night
I let him sleep in my bed if he is really fretful in the night
I have put him to sleep in his own room at 22 weeks
I give him teething gel and A&P Powder for his teeth
I give him Paracetamol if he is crying in pain
I give him juice BUT in a cup not a bottle so not too bad
I don't even rinse his dummy, I just suck the fluff off it before I give it to him
I no longer sterilise his bowls or spoons as he shoves everything in his mouth
I leave him in his sleepsuit if we aren't going out anywhere

Am sure there are plenty of other bad things that the Government would have a cow if they knew about but you know what?
He's my son and I'll do what the bl00dy hell I want to! :cool:

mumOf2wonderfulkids

I let DD watch things on the TV that gave her nightmares.

when i was about 6, i had an accident with a deck chair in the garden (it folded up on me and trapped a few of my fingers) i screamed and screamed for about 10 mins until my dad came out and found me, he heard me screaming but thought i was playing :doh:then after a swift trip to the doctors and hands fixed and bandaged, he sat me down and let me watch gremlins. My good god, that scared the living daylight out of me! i never watched the films again until i was 20!:eek: (and then realised they really wernt that bad haha)

Sorry to say this, but the Governement have done a U-Turn and said it's ok and good to have the odd glass of wine! So that makes you a good mummy!!!
