  • OMG some of the posts are hilarious :rotfl:

    I bottle fed, didn't change a nappy straightway sometimes etc

    I went to check my 3mth olds sons nappy at the time to see if he was wet. Anyway I squeezed his nappy at the front and accidently squeezed one of his little peanuts and actually felt it pop out from between my fingers. Needless to say he cried and I felt really bad :o :rotfl::o

    well, according to this thread my mum was also i bad mum as she:
    * led me to believe the ice cream man was the fish man
    *let me go to the park/shop etc alone (it wasn't far away)
    *told me (and my other siblings) that the baby birds needed our dummies
    *let me play outside in the mud, and fed me freezer crap!
    *go to school in odd socks/dirty jumpers etc- i was old enough to put them in the wash basket just too lazy
    *i once sprayed mr muscle in my eye, and on another occasion ran into the open fridge door and knocked myself out, she laughs about it now!

    I currently have 4 weeks of cooking my baby left and i'm already a bad mum:
    *i'm going to ff
    *i have dummies ready
    *i'm going to make her feeds in advance
    *i have disposible nappies and wipes
    *we've bought most of her clothes second hand
    *she has a cot bumper in her cot
    *i have calpol/gripe water etc ready in the cupboard!

    Must be cause i'm a teenager, innit!

    OMG, this thread has made me ROTFPMSL!
    OK try to recap. DS (now 6) [STRIKE]used to get up[/STRIKE] gets up really early. When we first moved into our house he got up one morning after he'd fallen asleep in his tea. We put him to bed in his top and changed his nappy. DH went to the pub and didn't lock the front door. DS got up and went for a walk. He was found at the bottom of our road near the shop (18 months old) by neighbours. They knew there were lots of toddlers so knocked on a few doors before they got to ours. I was on my first night off from nights (so my not getting up early unless the house is on fire morning) and heard the door knocking for ages. Kept nudging DH and when front door opened and someone was calling "Hello?" threw him out.
    Cue DH going downstairs in his pants to meet and greet (sp?) all the new neighbours who were staniding in the street with his dirty escapee son :eek:!
    DS then escaped when we were having our central heating fitted and was brought back by another neighbour :o.

    We went to the woods park with the kids the other day (8 & 6) and DH started telling them the story about the boyfriend and girlfriend with the escaped murderer and the head on the car roof, remember the one?
    So, our woods are close to a mental hospital and DH tells them that the person has escaped from there. Then we go to a new park that DS designed with his school and we stay there for a few minutes. It gets a bit overcast so I tell DH I want to go. He says we'll go and we start walking off. As we're leaving DH says "Oh !!!!!!, I can hear something!" and legs it. So I grab the kids hands really tightly and say "Daddy wants us to go NOW!" and start walking off really fast.
    DH then leaps out of the undergrowth a way in front of us and runs across te path with his hood up. The kids are like :eek: but I just walked faster like I hadn't seen it and said come on, Daddy wouldn't have wanted us to go if he thought it was safe :rotfl:.
    So we get a bit further on and DH leaps out shouting "Raaaaaargh!" and the kids are like :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: and DD (8) whips her hand away, turns tail and runs. STRAIGHT ALONG THE PATH THAT HEADS TOWARDS THE MENTAL HOSPITAL :eek:.
    Unfortunately, by this time, I am almost on my knees and DS has cottoned on (I've still got hold of his hand) so his peeing himself too.
    It took a little while to get DD back. By which time DS and I had tears pouring from our eyes and DH was feeling a little guilty.
    On the whole :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:! DD at least smiles now!

    So many other things we did wrong but these spring to mind atm :D.
    Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.

    Thanks all for making me feel MUCH better :-), I'm a terrible Mummy too:

    I ate parmesan, nuts and prawns whilst pregnant
    I didn't go to a single antenatal class
    I went back to work, full time, when my son was six months old
    He was weaned at four months
    Pampers is my friend
    My son regularly eats food with nuts in
    I ignore tantrums, completely. Sometimes I even leave the room and wait until he comes to find me!

    Gosh, someone call social services :-)
    Go your own way..

    I'm a bad mummy because:

    I let my 30 month old son use a dummy
    I bribe him with chocolates to use the potty
    I occasionally let him watch Family Guy when I forget it's not made for children
    I let him have the odd KFC or McDonalds
    I use the TV to distract him when I'm tired/cleaning/have a headache
    Taking baby-steps :beer:

    glad I am not alone in being not perfect, I think I have one on here that no one else has admitted too my dd only had about 4 baths till she was about 10 months old and got in the bath with me........she hated them so we kept her spick and span with baby wipes :eek::eek::eek:

    can't imagine life without baby wipes use them to do my cleaning and everything! better than boiling dirty dish cloths!

    also she does not have set bed times(shes two sitting by me at 1030 as I type this :eek: )

    I make sure she goes to bed about 12 hours after she gets up whatever time that may be so she gets her right sleep even if she is up at 11 or 12!

    she also shares with the dog no matter how hard we try to stop her...........our dog loves her but is getting fat! lol

    and after only giving her water and milk recently she has noticed daddy drinks cola and we give her some in her beaker(prob why shes still up! lol)

    I also have bought her a mud pie factory for her birthday and intend on her getting very messy and probably eating the mud but also having a cool time!

    I did an experiment with a Pampers Baby-Dry size 5. I wanted to see just how much fluid it would take - I got nearly 3 pints of water into it before it started leaking. Great fun... :rotfl:
