    Im a very bad mum.

    I once left my 3 day old DS3 sitting in the hallway when we went out as a family as i had forgotten we had him! I only remembered when his elder sister asked me where he was! Since that day she has always been very protective of him...wonder why?

    I use bribery to get my kids to revise for their exams. Well it works!

    Somedays I love my dogs more than my kids. Well somedays all I get from my kids is unconditional hassle whereas my dogs give me unconditional love.

    When asked by school recently if i could talk about my sons behaviour at school I dared to ask the teacher if he thought that my son might be bored by his lessons.

    I spend too much on them on birthdays and christmas.

    Oh the list is endless!
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    I can post what I like in this thread thankyou. I merely stated my opinion about one comment made in this thread that was horrible. The rest of the thread is brilliant but there is a big difference between :

    I am a bad mummy because I get slap my child

    and

    I am a bad mummy because I ENJOY slapping my child.

    What next : I am a bad mummy because I abuse my child, I am a bad mummy because I know my partner is abusing my child and I do nothing, etc etc - and it's all ok because it's in the bad mummy thread!!!

    There is a line and it was crossed with that comment.
  • I think the slapping post was tongue in cheek - i doubt any mother who really mans that would post it on her.

    You know that sometimes when you read something you can take it out of context?

    I would say that happened here

    You are possibly correct but I do feel that singular post should be deleted as even if meant in a tongue in cheek way it still suggests that violence and abuse towards children is funny. Violence and the suggestion of violence towards children is never acceptable.

    Oh I was a bad mummy today because I let DS have leftovers from his bday prty yesterday for breakfast.
    Cocktail sausages and onion rings all round :D
    Then i sent him into school with a box of smarties cakes which the kids are all going to have just before home time

    Nothing like sending a class of 4 year home dosed up to the eyeballs on E numbers :cool:

    That sounds like a great breakfast! A portion of protein and one of his '5 a day' :D
    Seriously though, I think some people are not really 'getting' this thread.
