...........did you do this to avoid natural childbirth . If you dont go through labour listening to whale music with a birthing pool, scented candles, a bean bag and no painkillers you really are a bad mummy:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Im really enjoying being a bad mother at the moment as Im officially on strike. I have four kids DS1 (19), DD (17), DS2 (15) & DS3 (13). Today:
I have not cleaned their bathroom even though there was pee all over the seat.
I have not cleared up their mess from breakfast so it will still be there when they make their tea
I have not picked their clothes up and put them in the wash so they gonna run out soon.
I have not collected plates and beakers from their room so they are sat up there festering.
I have disconnected the x box so they cannot play it until I get some response from them
I have not made them tea tonight and told them they have to have cereal
I have just turfed my "ill" DD out of her bed to walk the dogs. She might well be ill but I dont care today as she has called wolf once too often - I now believe she is a pathological liar.
I have not talked to DS3 since Sunday when he told me to F**k off

So you see Im the worlds worst mother because for the past 19 years I have tried too hard, given them too much - not just materially but of myself and worried too much and in return i have three of the most ungrateful human beings in the world. My youngest son is great - he helps me out all the time and is the only reason Im still here so why does he get it but not them?

by the time i got to the hospital in labour i was screaming like a banshee and didnt care who heard, begged for an epi (but it was to late :mad:) gas and air, diamorphine, still screaming like crazy, hubby in headlocks.
def not au naturel haha



edit * oh no my rep is ruined, dd is sat next to me and just said *mummy, i think you are a perfect mummy* i hate it now she can read, never get any privacy lol

Molly, you sound like a great Mum to me. I think your kids just need a little kick in the behind now and again, just to remind them to be grateful for what they have got. [As we all may do occassionally]

I'm a working mother - quite a lot of people seem to think thats about as bad as it gets :rotfl:

I was once told by my ds teacher that because i work and send my son to after school care that i was a bad mummy, i just laughed at her as i knew for a fact she had at least 4 kids at home:o

Im a bad mummy i missed DD1's first parents evening today and i missed their opticians appointments :eek:

In my defence i was sat up a&e because on the way to collect DD1 from school DD2 fell over and smacked her head in the road :eek: All the way to school she was falling all over the place and was really not herself Hospital checked her over and she seems fine though just got to keep an eye on her.

Scared the life out of me though when i picked her up i expected to find her head cracked open she hit it that hard

Sorry to put a dampener on things, but eating slugs is really bad, they can harbour parasites that travel to your brain and cause encephalitis (pressure on the brain). I'm pretty sure the doctors can sort it out, but you'd have to tell them she ate slugs. Everything else seems fine to me though afterall I turned out OK after the following.

Hmm... well.. I managed not to kill one yet..

And if you want to try getting a slug (once it was 3 days dead and crispy) out of a childs mouth feel free!!! there is no way I'm risking MY digits in there.. children are gross.. crawling with germs!

It isn't like we put them on their salad is it?!

My cat eats them too (yes I know they can get lung worm.. you come tell her she won't listen to me!).. so it is a race as to who can get to them first.

Snails are better.. they froth on their tongues!

at least my children were never intoxicated under the age of 16/17.. and I was 34 before I EVER got ratted.. cost a blooming fortune I have developed my families well'ard and immune to alcohol genes!

I too am guilty as charged!

BF till 3 months when went back to work full time - the minute I stopped DS developed the worst eczema ever what a guilt trip!
Worked full time ever since and only got out for a lunch time when DS fell down a manhole aged 2 to go go hospital with childminder - once he'd been checked out went back to work and left him with childminder!
Believe dummys are one of life's essentials
Always used disposable nappies and wipes (tried variety of sensitive ones after the eczema started so determined not us go there with the cotton balls!)
When DS fell down the stairs aged 18 months and split open his head I stood with him in my arms in the bathroom with the tap running desperately trying to remember what to do - very nearly plunged his open head under the faucet!! Luckily ambulance arrived just in time to stop me!
Sometimes help far too much with the homework just to get it out of the way
Encourage him to play tin whistle in the folk group and join the choir then moan like mad when I have to take him to a concert in the evening!
Allow him to spend far too long on his xbox playing (sometimes) cert 18 games (he's 10!)
Offer him a wee sip of wine / west coast cooler at Christmas but he's far too sensible and gives me a withering look saying "mum, I'm far too young"
am unable to darn his school jumper which has two holes in but am determined it will do him to the summer hols!
Piriton was my best friend when he was a toddler - stops the itch and, more importantly, made him sleep for hours!
Despite all this he is bright, beautiful and I'm so proud of him - how the hell did that happen?!

OK.. I have a question for the general populace of the thread....

Who still sterilises their baby's bottles at 6 months?? (looking around for those who glance up and say "sterilise??" LOL)

I am fast becoming tired of sterilising DS3's bottles. I personally think a good wash with hot soapy water and a rinse with hot water is sufficient. He puts his toys on the floor and in his mouth and all sorts - is sterilising the bottles REALLY going to make a big difference at this point? His little immune system should be up to the challenge now, right??
