The Bad Mummies Thread

beckiem

hi ladies how is everyone?? i havent been on here for a long time, but theres still a few names i recognise... im a bad mum still...
i bf both my girls coz i was 2 lazy to have to warm the bottles it would always go to hot then i would have to cool it down!
i have had dogs around my kids since they dd1 was crawling, they have both eaten the dogbiscuits, i once caught dd2 trying to drink out of there water bowl, and i regularly caught them teething on the dog toys.
i never ran to them when they was crying (it never hurt them)
they both had dummies
ive also had the constant screaming cleaning there hair, thankfully they seem to have grown out of it, it used to drive me up the wall i would dread having to do it!!
im sure theres loads of reasons why i am a bad mummy. this is just a select few ive thought of.

oh please there is a difference between common sense and wrapping them in bubble wrap

And I think you are just looking for attention.


Smothering your child with cotton wool doesn't teach them very much about life.

But please, let us all bow down to you for you are far more superior than we could ever be...

I'm a bad sister.. I don't have any kids but I do have two much younger sisters. When my mum was trying to get my youngest (4 year old) sister off dummys I came up with the bright idea of painting it with that nail varnish that tastes bad so that you stop biting your nails. It worked.

I agree. In fact I don't know how I ever managed to raise 3 children without the expertise of emweaver to refer to.:D

Gemjar, you are off to a great start love. Now, for future reference, and just in case you decide to breastfeed your lovely babies, you can adapt this trick to your nipples when you decide to wean them. Makes it so much simpler!

Good morning, bad mums of MSE!

beckiem has reminded me of when my DS was a toddler and I found him eating the dog biscuits _pale_. For some reason it made me cry and I remember feeling very upset with myself for not watching him enough (I think I had gone to the loo - bad mum!) I wish I could have found the funny side to it at the time .

I also have been thinking a lot about some of the mistakes I have made :think: ...the thing is if I wrote down all the really wonderful things I do for my kids everyday, and the things that make me a good mum - it would be a long and probably a boring list, because we instinctively are caring and protective. But I have such a long memory for those mistakes I made which really weren't so many, and usually because I was functioning on very little sleep .

And I wouldn't think twice about slapping an adult I had repeatedly told to stop doing something.. like when I have given my XH a punch in the face after being repeatedly told not to scream in my face and spitting on me while doing so.. and no that isn't why he is the ex..

I do hope you are a redhead, I love feisty redheads

To those who mentioned dog biscuits, what's wrong with eating dog biscuits I used to eat bonios as a kid and for some reason my two did the same, they are 24 &26 now and still like to eat them and so do I. On a serious not they are less fattening than normal biscuits and made to the same standards and have perfectly good ingredient.

Now if you will excuse me I need to chase next doors cat off.

i will add it was bakers complete dog biscuits my kids liked not the cheap ones, my dd2 used to go and try and eat it with my dog, and b4 anyone moans my dog is very very lovely and has never given me any concerns, and my dogs arent left on there own with the kids!!
jimbms... my husband said he used to eat bonios when he was younger ( he used 2 take them fishing for bait so when he got hungry he would eat them lol) he said they were very nice
i dont think i used to eat things like that, i just used to put little things like stones etc up my nose!!

jimbms

I hate you lot, I am now very tempted to go and buy some bonios to go with my morning coffee, we have just had this discussion in the office and 5 out of 6 here used to eat and like them.

Actually I made myself quite a bit of money one day because I took bets on the school bus that I would eat a Bonio and everyone else bet I wouldn't... Id been eating them at home for ages before that :rotfl:
