This does not make you crap.

My dd ate a worm today. Well, half a worm. She was torturing the other half with a stick. Apparently a worm is 'yum yum'.

No need to feel bad, things will get worse wink The day you leave one of your children locked in the car for a full 10 minutes before you realise then we will talk about shocking parenting blush

In my defence i had 5 to unload and he was hiding behind the seats at the back.

<< waves to the woman who lets her child eat worms >>

Could be worse. I continued to take my 2.5 yo round the supermarket the other day, in full knowledge that she had filled her nappy two minutes after we arrived. Thought I'd be able to get away with grabbing the last few things before she really needed a change.

Got to the till, glanced down and realised that the poo was creeping out around the edge of her nappy and in full view to anyone who looked at her properly.

Persuaded her to sit very, very still while I paid.

And then realised I'd left all the wipes at home, so I had to take her home to change anyway.

Was truly revolting by the time we got home. But she lived to tell the tale wink

In my defence I had been on my own 6 weeks with DP working away with about 4 hours of sleep each night and I had started a new job too, so it was a bit of a stressful time, but wasn't funny I can tell you.

At least you thought to try changing him, I'd probably have gone out for the walk thinking he'd calm down as we got going blush

Oh, you're not alone; I wheeled DD around the supermarket on Saturday with her screaming and trying to stand up in the seat. I thought she was just bored, but when I got her home she had a very stinky nappy, and her poor wee bum was red raw blush

She also regularly gets to the cat food before I can get it off the floor. She was eating some the other day, and I thought it was strange as the bowl was on the worktop.........my cat regularly throws up though, but I'm not even going to think about that blush

LOL at forgetting the nappy, and at the worms smile

I spun my son round on the roundabout on Sunday so much that he was sick. I am clearly a bad mother.

I'm always doing that to DD2 - her poos don't always stink so how am I supposed to know??? grin

The first time I took DD out when she was only a few weeks old she was screaming for milk - I'd expressed a bottle having only breastfed her till then and tried to feed her sitting on a bench on a main road - hadn't screwed lid of bottle on properly so tipped the whole lot over so and then had to run home literally (only 3 weeks after C-section) cos she was now soaked and still hungry and at that stage I was too shy to breastfeed her on a main road. Felt awful but the minute I got through the front door and fed her she was fine!

Went out shopping for a pair of jeans that weren't maternity when DD was 6 weeks old, lovely day strolling around till she started grizzling for a change and a feed (on formula by now), only to discover feed still in bottle in fridge at home. 15 mins drive home with screaming starving child... Kinda took the glory out of the new jeans blush

Oh bless! This was me yesterday! I went to take my dp's cashcard got my 18 wk old dd out of the car, she hadn't been to sleep much yesterday and was grizzly as I got her out of the car, what I failed to realise was she had done a big big poo! Poor love, then that turned into crying fit and wasnt till i picked her up I realised, I just assumed it was tiredness!

Glad I am not alone! parenting is the hardest job in the world you know!

Lol at you blurryeyed, you will never be able to buy a pair of jeans again!
