im a bad mummy to 2 boys i have
ff both straight from birth
woke up 1 morning to find ds2 had taken his nappy off in his cot and eaten his own poo!! :eek: i first took pictures on my digital camera before attempting to clean him up
they are not bathed everyday
used to dress ds1 in my nieces dresses just "for a laugh" !!!
when ds1 loses school jumpers i hang around the clasroom till everyone has gone and take some other poor childs jumper that they have left so i dont have to pay for a new one!! :T
i sometimes send them to school and playschool with cereal round their faces (whoops!!)
i make ds1 do afterschool activities only so i have more me time
ds1 refers to me as "moaning myrtle" off harry potter!! :eek:
sure there are things i do everyday that makes me a bad mummy too.
my kids are happy and healthy and know i love them more then anything even if i am a bad mummy!!!

just realised my sig says it all really!! now i feel like a terrible mummy:rotfl:I love to give homemade gifts. Which one ofmy kids do you want?0 -
i'm a bad mummy because:
It's 12.13pm and me and my 4 yr old are still sat in our pj's (it's week 2 of my maternity leave, give me break!)
when my son was a baby i remember bashing his head on the doorframe when I carried him into the bedroom (no lasting damage...i think)
i've eaten rare steak and runny eggs
oh and one for my OH. my son had a small dried up graze on his knee. my OH got a bandage and wrapped it round his leg (playing IYKWIM). Well son refused to take it off. 2 days later and the scab had fused to the bandage....you can imagine the carange as i tried to take it off....with the scab attached to it : (
theres probably a lot more...cant think of any.0 -
This is a great thread, I have just read the entire thing and giggled at much of it.
My kids are now 15 and 10 and with the first one I was such a 'proper' mother, I read all the books and went to the parentcraft classes and bought all the equipment. When he was born I stayed in hospital for 5 full days to learn how to use him J
I used to clean him with a top and tail bowl and yards of cotton wool, all of his clothes were ironed and immaculate, I BF him for as long as I could - I was a neurotic mother! I used to ask my own mum to wash her hands before she went near him as she smoked and had cats! (I know I was a disgrace).
He was the most unsettled, twisty kid you could ever hope to meet, he was a constant whinger and no wonder as I was making him like that!
The second one was such different story, he was bottle fed, wipes, whisky the lot! He was the nicest gentlest quietest baby ever - he was a dream.
I quickly learned to be a bad mother when I was working full time with two kids and a hubbie who was never there. I’ve done almost everything on these lists, my little one lived on toast and quavers till he was 2, I still feed my kids crap from the freezer and don’t make homemade meals every day, sometimes they have crisps for breakfast or cornetto’s for supper, I often stick the 10yr old’s hair down with spit and rub his face with the dishcloth. I cut their toenails when they start clicking their socks, and send them for a ‘forced’ shower or bath when their smell is putting me off my dinner.
I do however love them more than life itself and would lie down and die for them in a heartbeat and I make sure they know that.
They are both fantastic thoughtful, loving kids now and never cause me a moments trouble, they are very intelligent, healthy and happy - hence so am I J
p.s. I have since apologised to my mum for being a nightmare all those years ago and we laugh about it now.You can stand there and agonize........

I'm a bad Dad because:
this morning my DS was helping me fix my old motorbike and his best warmest sleeping blanket now has the exact imprint of a BSA 500cc side chaincase on it, in extremely dirty oil. Also his washable nappy/face/hands seem to have picked some up as well.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
My mum is a bad mother. When I was about 3/4 I followed mum into the toilet but she didn't see so went to close the door and my fingers were there. I didn't make any noise so she tried to shut the door again on my fingers. Then looked! lol.
Then another time when I was in the loo with her at about the same age I went behind the sink where the pipes go and pulled out some magazine and started to read it. Mum wondered what I was looking at and saw me looking at a HUGE pair of knockers. Dad wasn't too happy that I'd found it.What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine..0 -

my DS returned from school yesterday with a hole in the knee of his trousers, I had a go at him about this as he's only then got one other pair that fits him.
He casually informed me that they had the hole when he went to school that morning and in fact he'd worn them with the hole Monday and Tuesday also!!:eek::rotfl:
hmmm... interesting

I have a new confession to make...I had to come and tell you guys!
Put DS down for his morning nap about 10am.
I went to wake him up as he's missed his 'breakfast' and to be honest, has been sleeping too long for my liking.
The pram was empty _pale_
Naturally, I freaked and went upstairs thinking I must have put him in his cot but he wasn't there, I ran back down again and went to have a look in the double pram but he wasn't there either. I went back to the pram where I thought he was and seen 2 little hands sticking out...from underneath it! He'd wriggled out of the pram, must have fallen on the floor and rolled underneath it...all without making a sound...now his wee arm is all bruisedGod knows how long he's been there
This has only just happened so I'll go feed him now!!

A while ago my DD was learning to use the sky remote, I think she was about 4/5 and I left her alone for a couple of minutes, I came back and she had one of those previews from some sort of soft sex channel on, where the woman was topless, in a thong and doing something or other.
She just said, she's a pretty lady Daddy...... cue Mrs Lotus being very amused I hadn't put the parental block on the sky box.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
I'm a bad mummy because I sent DD1 to school in a dirty top because she has no clean ones, and she is old enough to remember to put things in the washing basket when they're mucky!Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession
