The Bad Mummies Thread

MrsTinks

Obviously as I didn't grow up here in England I am emotionally scarred as we don't have icecream vans in Denmark and Norway... I feel like I should have councelling!

Im a Good mummy because I cant cook for Shizz and gave them both jar food on at least 8 occasions in any normal week, if i didnt they would just have macaroni cheese and rice pud for weaning food or worse..have to endure nannies baby slush

Im a good mummy because I didnt use either wipes nor cotton wool (I like not having to pick fluff off my babies bum) I used fleece squares and washed them with the nappies, this only started when i couldnt be bothered to walk to the shop in a torrential rainstorm to get more wipes. and i only used real nappies due to the fact i was given about 40 totsbots for free...

Im a good mummy because sometimes on the school run ds would stay in his babygrown until lunchtime, saved making him cold on frosty mornings. well wouldnt you stay in your pj's all day if you could?

Im also a good mummy because i sometimes drive the half mile to dd's school if its tipping it down...or scorcing sunshine....or (add own insert)...well, woulnt want her to get sunburnt, wet, hypothermia..

The first time we put our baby son in his bouncy chair aged about 4 days he began screaming.
We couldn't understand it and spent ages bouncing it and trying to jolly him up.
I eventually got him out only to find he soaking wet!
The cat had peed in the chair and it stunk, poor baby had been sat in it for ages!!!!!!

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:

it doesn't seem harsh to me, jakieb and peachy, it wasnt your fault iykwim
whereas my trying to put ds in the car and bopping his head on the way in is

I don't think so... but then maybe I should buy some to try it out :rotfl: I end up strangling myself if I wear clothes to bed I'm not a still sleeper... So when I get up I just go straight for clothes... seems just as easy LOL

(and it's probably too cold to walk the dog over the fields in the morning in PJs anyway! )

LOL first time I put DD in her bouncer by myself (hubby had been helping me till then) I managed to scrape her forehead on the T-bar :eek: and my mum arrived the week after to see her GDD for the first time... how terrible did I feel till she pointed out I had 3 stitches in my forehead before I was 3... I insisted I could get up the concrete steps by myself... apparently I couldn't....
I still have the scar too! Glad too say the tiny scratch DD got has long gone!

where do i start?

I formula fed both of my children
I used baby wipes and disposable nappies.
Both of them had bottles until they were 3 1/2
My ds (4) favourite meal is sausage and chips from the chippy
I make the kids porridge up with hot chocolate
Saturday mornings i'll put tv on for ds and he'll eat biscuits while i go back to sleep on the sofa and dd (12) stays in bed watching tv up there
Last weekend we told ds he couldn't go swimming because the pool was iced over cos they'd left the doors open.
We ring "the witch" when ds is naughty.
DD has a pc in her room.
Ive slapped dd across the face (well she did set fire to a window box).

I could go on for ever...

I'm just waiting for them to come back to me in 10 years time following their first counselling session!!

Some of this thread is seriously disturbing. I'm glad my Mum only abused me mentally.

As a last one from me, I have a air-rifle lying on the floor of my 6 month olds tiny bedroom, where I have been shooting the rats that are around the chicken run from, I woke him up the other day by opening the window in freezing weather and shooting another one.
Do I get the prize?

As some of you know from the "other" thread... I'M SMARTIE AND I'M A BAD MUMMY!!!

DS is nearly 14.... YES HE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL!
I FF
Used disposable nappies
He had a dummy
We lived opposite a shop and the ladies in there used to give him a milky way every day:rotfl:
Used jars of food
And I used to go out most weekends!;)
Calpol was great:D
Etc, etc

Very little bean is due Sept... and I'm sure my bad mummy status won't change!!:rotfl:

Ohh I want to join in :j My daughter is now 3 and a half so I have acquired a lengthy timeline littered with offences of the naughty kind:D

CHARGE SHEET

• FF my daughter from 6 days old
• Used disposable nappies from day one
• Made up next days bottles in advance and put them in the fridge
• Weaned her onto solids from 4 months using mainly Heinz powdered food (disgusting but she couldn't get enough of the Mediterranean Veg one *pukes*) and Hipp jars
• Have given her Infacol, Calpol, Bonjela (I actually had no idea this was considered a bad thing until I read this thread):D
• She still has a dummy, which she only uses at bedtime to be fair (I want rid of it to be honest, but it's not going to be easy so haven't addressed it yet:embarasse)
• Bathed her in the sink until she was 18 months or so (a lot easier on my back than a baby bath on the floor)
• She is allowed to eat sweets, biscuits, crisps
• The TV is constantly turned on and either CBeebies or a Dora/Peppa/Pingu DVD is blasting out
• I have weeks worth of ironing in the back bedroom and I don't know when it's ever going to get done
• My daughter usually sneaks in my bed at some point during the night and me and OH only realise when we wake up (read she wakes us up) in the morning
• I smoke
