The Bad Mummies Thread

it was only a hair... if off my floor it would probably be a crispy dead worm or cat litter!

I've been exposed as a bad mummy today. Health visitor came to see the baby and DS asked if it was lunchtime. I replied we will have our lunch once the lady has gone. He asked "can we have chocolate spread sandwiches again mummy?" plus he was eating sweets when she arrived :rotfl: TBH I am too sleep deprived to care anymore!

Looks like I win the bad mummy trophy,

I told my kids at 5 that Santa wasn't real as I was sick of him getting all the credit

DD2 picked me out a mothers day card (well, grabbed off the shelf without looking) and instead of consoling her about the card she had chose I could not stop laughing and had it framed, it read :

''Happy Mothers Day from the dog'' Lol. x

I think the lot of you are disgraceful. Some people (and I include myself) would give their right arm to be a mother. People like me have always thought that the price of being rewarded with the gift of a child should be the utter submission of your own desires and needs to your precious childs.

That leaves people like me, sadly childless, free to be utterly dreadful aunts, which I have greatly been enjoying.

Now I read this bl00dy thread, and find out that not all mothers are perfect self-sacrificing angels, and - due to their far more frequent opportunities for badness - are actually a damn sight better at being bad than I have ever been. Damn you all!

I shall have to up the bad aunt stakes immediately....

Yeh and what about us bad fathers, this thread is getting too sexist. [/resist smirking]

I sent my son in wearing a red t-shirt and jeans on book day. He was Chip [from the Biff and Chip books].
I'm absolutely useless at fancy dress.

Well at least he was from a book, unlike the many 'Disney princesses' and 'Buzz Lightyears' you usually get on book day.

Hi, can I join in? I've done most of the things on here and more besides:

My daughter (aged 4) still had her bot bot to go to bed with up until very recently!
Sometimes I forget to make them brush their teeth!
My daughter still goes to bed in a pull up!
I forget to read my son's reading book every night and never remember to write in the reading diary!
I smack them when they are really being naughty and won't listen when I tell them off!
I didn't even realise that disposable nappies, wipes, Calpol, gripe water etc were bad and used them on both my kids, and guess what? They didn't spontaneously combust!
My son (6) plays on the computer far more than is good for him, but as I work full time I have all the housework to do when I get in, so don't really monitor it!
My daughter has been to nursery without having her hair brushed before! And it is long (down to her lower back)

I'm sure there is much much more, but can't think at the min. Does anyone else suffer from memory loss after having children because I definitely do? I can't remember what age they walked at or talked or anything!
