According to your child, why are you the worst parent ever?

According to DS1 (9), I am the worst mother ever because I won't let him watch the end of his programme in my bedroom. His tablet battery died midway through the episode and DH is watching the snooker downstairs.

I no longer allow the DC to watch TV in my room because they have frequently treated the room like crap and don't respect that it's not their space, wrestling on the sofa, throwing cushions everywhere etc, and it's nice to have a space that I don't have to clear up after them.

Plus, I'm already in here and I was enjoying the peace!

Asked DH (12) for 1 family night since lockdown lifted to go shopping and not have friends come along/sleepover. Came back from shopping which I spent £30 on her make up and said we're going to call for 1 drink. She actually suggested she would walk the 5 miles home so she didn't have to come with us and pulled a face throughout. Worst parents ever 🙄

Because I won't let ds13 have a Switch in his bedroom.

MrsK89 · 06/08/2020 22:31

DD aged 3 wouldnt talk to me because I asked her to eat her food and not sit under the table Confused

Tigerty · 06/08/2020 22:41

I had the audacity to look at him while he was eating.

I was sitting across from DS(13) at a restaurant while we had food. That one is stored safely for his wedding.

My 3 year old told me today she wanted me to move out because I didn't let her feed the dog ( he'd already been fed)

Giving him cheese.
Not giving him cheese.

Basically insert any word instead of cheese in and you got it...

Because having got her a gift from the shops, at home I blindfolded her and made her play "hit the pot" (crawl about with a spoon until she finds the gift), instead of just giving it to her. Normally she loves any opportunity to play a party game, especially hit the pot, but not this time!

Not me, but DH was the worst parent ever for cleaning DD's bathroom one morning last week. She's 18 and hopefully going to uni next month. We don't have the days counted or anything of course 🤞😆

Babababababybelll · 07/08/2020 08:54

I "ruined my daughter's life"

Once by asking her to brush her teeth before school.

ghostmous3 · 07/08/2020 09:04

For acting like a karen apparently.

Ffs

Shes 18 ffs

EVERYONE ELSE has consoles in their bedroom and goes to Disney Florida EVERY school holidays.

No poppet, they had a 3 day visit to granny in Dumfries

anonanonandanon · 07/08/2020 09:13

When DD was 4-5 she used to go mad at me for even suggesting that she flushes the toilet 😂

snowone · 07/08/2020 09:25

Because I won't let her have a pet rabbit for her 6th birthday (as I can't be arsed cleaning up after another sodding pet) and because I won't let her have her ears pierced.

We’re on holiday, the dog needs his second walk before it gets too hot. I’m a horrible Dad because I won’t let him stay in the swimming pool while I go on a walk, hes 5. I mean, I’m only stopping him drowning or hurting himself while alone 🤷🏽‍♂️

mathsmonster · 07/08/2020 10:16

My 7 year old is planning to live with nanny and grandad until he is eighteen because:

I sent him out of the room for swearing
I won't let him hit his brother
I answer his questions
I won't let him hit or bite me
I tell him off for telling me to shut up
I won't let him eat cake just before tea
I will not allow him unlimited access to YouTube
I make him brush his teeth
I make him shower once a day
I make him read everyday

Life is great at the moment.
