This is hard just admitting to it but...............today I sent my DS into nursery wearing navy blue Adidas trackie bottoms, trainers and...........a black hoody :eek:

No it wasn't gypo (urban dictionary version before I get told off) dress up day

It was washing day

My daughter wore her orangey pink tracksuit to nursery today with her shoes with heels! I told her it didn't go and to wear trainers, but she wouldn't listen and I couldn't be assed with the whole shoe argument again so I let her go in them! Guess it's true what they say about these young mums being bad mums, I was 19 when I had DS and 21 when I had DD.

I'm a bad auntie, my 3 nieces talk about getting coca-cola at auntie jennys but they're really getting diluted ribena (they only get milk/water at mums house).

I take the kids to mcdonalds then bribe them to tell their mum that I gave them organic corn fed chicken and potatos.

I let niece 2 run riot in the swing park because i can't keep up with her.

I once forgot to bring baby food out with me and fed one of the kids a baked potato and cheese - she's still alive 6 years later.

So 13 weeks on my 'bad mummyness' is coming out more and more

Before: when her dummy hit the floor i would either sterilise it or wash it in boiling water.
Now: I just stick it in my mouth to 'wash' it and give it back to her.

Before: I said i wouldn't use said dummy unless she was in real need of sucking it.
Now: It gets her to sleep easier and who am i to deprive a baby of sleep? :cool:

Before: When BF didn't work out, i intended to make each feed fresh.
Now: I make 6 at 8pm for the next 24 hours and leave in the fridge until she needs me to heat it and add the powder for her.
I also heat said bottle in the microwave and shake it

Before: I would change her clothes each morning and night.
Now: I let her stay in her babygrow all day and night sometimes, unless she's been sick on it.

Before: When changing her nappy i would holding her little legs in the air so delicately so they wouldn't snap off.
Now: I almost lift her in the air upside down :rotfl:

I also shout BOO at her to make her jump, but she does love this, it makes her laugh :cool:
I gave her a tiny bit of whipped cream from my dessert to see if she liked it. She loved it.
I let her watch TV as it interests her.
I sometimes pretend to be asleep so her dad has to deal with her morning crys! :cool:
If she has got a tiny bit of poo on a clean vest, i just wipe it off the best i can with a wipe and leave her in it

But, to balance it out a bit:

I sit and play on the floor with her for ages at a time.
I aim to make her smile most of the day.
I always give in and let her sleep on me if she's being very cute and cuddly towards me.
I encourage her to roll and to play with her toys.
I sit and hold her legs up so she can see her feet and play with them

I've got to confess that when DS was a baby I had to go back to work when he was 12 weeks old, and as he never slept for more than 3 hours day or night I was exhausted. To save time in the mornings for the nursery > work dash, I would dress him the night before in his clothes, then just change his nappy in the morning and take him to nursery. :eek: He must still have some issues with this, cos now, if I let him, he will sleep in his school uniform and just get up and go straight to school :rotfl: But, he never looks grubby, honestly!

[FONT=&quot]Excuse me a moment whilst I call Social Services.:money:

I think this thread is [/FONT][FONT=&quot]brill[/FONT][FONT=&quot]. I work in a nursery with many over pampered kids - if a baby cries, mum immediately picks it up. Toddler falls over, looks for reaction and then 'cries' so dad goes rushing over. Raining outside? DEAR GOD DONT LET THEM OUT - THEY'LL CATCH A COLD!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

It's nice to hear from parents who let kids be kids - if they cry, try ignoring them; if they fall over, tell them to get up; if it's raining then get out there and jump in puddles.

I'm fed up of seeing 4 year olds who converse like 40 year olds because their parents are too serious with them, rather than 4 year olds who fall over laughing at the word '[/FONT][FONT=&quot]poo[/FONT][FONT=&quot]'.

Kids will be kids for as long as we let them....

I'm now going to play with my train set.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

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

I'd picked the rest of the rubbish of her sausages so no-one would know but I was still caught out :rotfl:

Have just found this thread and read the first few pages and can't stop laughing!

I too am a bad mummy to my 18 month old dd!

-She was premature and despite my best efforts couldnt produce milk so she was FF from day one in SCBU
-she has always had disposable nappies and have used wipes from when she was a couple of months old-cotton wool just made the job too hard
-she slept in her own room from the day she came home from SCBU-admittedly whoever was doing the nightshift out of me and dh would sleep in there too but still...
-i leave her in her PJs all day if we aren't going out
-she gets given a snack and puts it on the living room floor and comes back to it then picks it up and eats it, i dont think this is a problem but my dad does!
-she shares her dinner with the dogs, and sits beside them and cuddles them and they lick her face-we are there of course!
-if she deliberately pours her juice on the floor i give her a wipe and make her clean it up-and she enjoys cleaning and carries on around the rest of the floor!
-I love dressing her up like a doll because she looks cute in little girlie clothes and i will use the pictures when she is older and has a boyfriend lol

i could go on an on, but im so glad im not the only 'bad mummy' on MSE!

Three both times i have found i was pregnant with the last two it has been just after xmas so you can imagine the state i was getting into with the alcohol although i did abstain during new year having found out by then.

We haven't been able to use our washing machine for a month (dodgy electrics) so my son's school jumper hasn't been cleaned in 3 weeks. It's starting to get a bit crispy...

Also, I follow the "5 second rule" for food that's fallen on the floor (cos that's how long it takes germs to crawl on the food, see...)

I also let my daughter wander about with a bowl of food (raisins, apple etc) - but she hasn't yet learned about gravity and so keeps tipping it onto the floor. No matter - as long as you catch her within 5 seconds, the food goes back in the bowl. The more pressing problem is what to do when I catch her eating food that fell on the floor the day before (or the day before that, or the day before that...)
