How have you ruined your child's life? (Lighthearted)

[Houseofvelour]

(Let's keep this lighthearted)

Today I ruined DD's life by giving her the blue bowl when apparently I should've given her the Pooh Bear bowl. Cue a good twenty minutes of screaming. 🙃

How have you ruined your children's lives today? 😂

Wouldn't clean the sole of his new shoes. He is very upset that they're getting dirty when he wears them outside.

DD is now distraught I won't read noisy farm instead of her lying in bed (she's had several stories fyi) and is now shouting for nanny.

Asked her to set the table. She's flouncing around like she's treated like fucking Cinderella 🙄

13 is such a lovely and reasonable age...

I woke up my child for school. He had jo interest in waking up for school today.

I've got an unusual hobby that is so embarrassing DD can't have her friends round (can't tell you what it us though because it would contravene MN protocol).

I cut my granddaughter's toast wrong this morning , she told mummy about it on pickup 😬

Ruined my toddlers love today by not allowing him to put his toy kitchen toast in the toilet . Screamed and through himself on the livingroom floor for a good 10 mins. Now he is using me as a sofa and tapping my hand & and giving me that toddler death stare every time I stop tickling his back lol

Anyone would think you lounge round the house in a burlesque outfit

Cutting his sandwich into quarters when he wanted it in halves

I ruined my then 8 year olds life but telling him his 1 hour dream of becoming a famous Manchester United player maybe wasn't for him as he didn't (still doesn't) play football and hates watching it. Queue floods of tears....

I insist on walking 8yo DD to school. Like the rules insist on for a Year 4 pupil. And like every other year 4, not to mention a large proportion of years 5&6.

(Don't tell her... I'm considering letting her walk with big sister in the last few weeks of term... if her sister is happy with it.

Told him not to wiggle his head about whilst I was rinsing his hair or he'd get shampoo in his eyes.

He wiggled his head about and got shampoo in his eyes.

It was carnage.

That was 4:30pm, I have only just redeemed myself by saying "it's Saturday tomorrow, so that's a day off from school". He's thrilled.

He's not long turned 5 and is on complete sensory overload from being in the classroom all week.

Breathing...I'm always breathing and it's so annoying. Sometimes I smile at other parents (already know better than to try and talk to them). Life ruined.

Oh I ruin my kids lives every day because I want to keep them safe, warm, fed and educated. If it was up to them they would live on haribos, wear leotards all year round and never go to school. Or bed. I’m like the worst mum ever.

We try and live by natural consequences.

Natural consequence of leaving a poo unflushed (an all too regular occurence ) is your dressing gown clad "soooooo embarrassing" at the best of times mother appearing in your room to ask you to please go and flush the toilet... while you're on a Zoom call to a mate

I would have never embarrassed my kids (especially around bodily functioms etc) deliberately but it seems to have fixed that particular issue for now...

Amazing 🤩 😂

By daring to walk into the kitchen at the same time as him thus occupying the same breathing space (nothing to do with Covid). He's 20 [where's the eye roll emoji]

One that I remember was toast into squares not triangles when DS was 3. He howled for ages...I'd even asked him what shape.

Now he's almost 13 I ruin his day by waking him for school. At least he only grunts at me. No more dramatics!

DD is older and I can ruin her life by breathing. Although I surpassed myself today by collecting the dirty science experiments plates from her room.

I ruin my 13 year old life ALL THE TIME. Todays nugget?

So I walked into her bedroom and she's wearing an oodie, with her windows fully open and her heating on full blast . it's my fault the heating is too hot, so she had to open the windows but was then to cold, so had to wear her oodie , and was then so warm she had to take a sock off before she sweated to death🤷🏼‍♀️. The adults in the house just turn the heating down but that's TOO MUCH.

Pretty similar. Gave the pink plate to brother. Took exact same ikea pink plate out of cupboard and swapped.

I didnt buy him a kinder egg. He doesn't understand why he can't have one everyday

I wouldn’t let him play with a nappy bag complete with dirty nappy. Obviously it was the best toy he’s ever seen .

I ruin my DS' life daily by dropping him off at the bus stop, turning my car around and driving past slowly with the window down shouting Bye Baby, mummy loves you. He's 19. (Actually I've been doing it for so long now, I think he'd be gutted if I stopped)

Bt saying the new shoes that arrived are a bit tight so they needed tk be exchanged! But apparently they're the best shoes in her whole life and it's not fair that I won't let her wear them too small. They're identical to what she has already and I stupidly ordered a narrower size?

When visiting a friends house my 3 year old DS absolutely lost it when not allowed to eat dog food when she fed her two beagles. They looked obviously madly happy and he clearly felt like he was being robbed of a major culinary experience.
