I didn't see my daughter on her very first Christmas day. She was 10 days old and in the special nursery. She'd already had 2 brain operations at 4 and 8 days old. I had 3 older children at home and we were going to see her every day. On Christmas day we tried to get through in the morning but the roads were blocked due to snow.

I still get a pang of guilt over that one. But she was 10 days old and sedated and wouldn't have known any different. She's 14 now (and fine btw ) and brings it up now and again to guilt trip me a bit more.

My youngest didn't have a dummy as a baby but around the age of 18 months he found one of his brothers old ones hanging around in the bottom of an old toy box.
It must have had 2 years of old germs and fluff festering on it but he then decided he was going to suck what life remained in it. Took about a year before he got fed up with it and it is now probably festing away again in the bottom of an old discarded toy box

*tries to shake the image of random birds flying about with stolen/donated dummies.... that's as bad as my friend who told her kids that when the icecream van rang it's bell it meant it had run out of icecream! :eek: *

Hi there!
I am also a bad mummy!
I use wipes & disposable nappies.
I let my little one nap on the couch.
I give him a dummy to get him to sleep, I usually just pop it in my mouth if it falls out and then stick it back in.
I FF after 6weeks, and weaned him to jars of food.
I put him onto cows milk @ 9months as I couldnt b bothered making up btls.
I have let him entertain hiself with his toys when I have been really hungover.
He sleeps in my bed as I cant be bothered with the hassle of trying to make him sleep in his cot.
One day I was pinging one of his toys on his baby walker and it pinged off and hit him in the face,I couldnt stop laighing as funnily enough the walker was called "saftey 1st".

The list goes on....lol

most parents keep a little memory box of their children childhood but i keep a stack and store box for embarrising moments to drag out in front of the furture girl friends and wife.

It is going to be my revenge for all the times they have left crisp packets down the side of the settee or muched up the house 20 minutes after i have finished tidying it:rotfl:

Would that be like the pictures my parents have of me:

One sat butt naked on my dads motorbike... I think it was because he'd been washing it and I was running about in the spray from the hose (I loved water as a child) and I got so filty in the end that to keep me still he sat me on the bike and my mum snapped a picture... I seem to recall being hosed off before being sent indoors...

The one of me eating a chocolate cookie at age about 6 months (terrible my mum) and wearing most of it... she didn't just save that one... NOOOOO she had it blown up and mounted on WOOD! The blasted thing will never ever ever stop haunting me!!!!

Picture evidence that I ate vegetables as a child... I claimed they were forged till I was about 18...

Oh, this has just reminded me. When my twins were 6 weeks old one of them had a pyloric stenosis and had to have an op. He was in hospital for 3 days, over a weekend but I didn't stay there with him. I did visit him every day though, and put his brother in the cot with him.

This probably sounds realy harsh to some mummies, but they were 7 weeks prem and had been in SCBU for 3 and a half weeks, so leaving him there wasn't a biggie to me, but the nurses were pretty snotty about it

I was more upset that I'd only had him home a few weeks and had already broken him :rotfl:
