How did you ruin your child's life today?

[bobbythevet]

Water is too wet. And I wiped my own bum.

9yo- I asked of she had checked her bags for the sleepover I was taking her too.

6yo- I suggested crayons still work after being snapped.

3yo- I didn't let her drive to nursery.

DD3 cried inconsolably for half an hour because I wouldn't let her each a fish finger straight out of the freezer.

Ds (7) comes down 10 mins after I tuck him in to tell me I haven’t tucked him in properly. Ok cool, I say, I’ll tuck you in again, let’s go up. Nope, he’s too old to be tucked in now. Fine, I say give me a hug then and off you go. He makes a huge production of hugging and kissing me and off he goes happy as Larry. 5 mins later I hear sobbing so I go up to him crying because I didn’t tuck him in! He then proceeds to carry on crying while I’m tucking him in because I’m not doing it right, but he won’t actually tell me how I’m doing it wrong. Apparently, I should just know the right way 🤣

My daughter wanted to go to school in her pyjamas
She's 6
I asked "why"?

Because it's so boring I want to sleep 😴

I mean where do you go with that 😂

I beat my 9 year old at a board game.

Pretended his Thomas the Tank Engine toy was climbing up a mountain. He is utterly disgusted with me. I should know by now that Thomas is not a mountain engine.

These are fantastic. So glad it's not just my child's life ruined

3yo - Daddy was taking him to nursery, not me
5wo - I sneezed while he was breastfeeding (tbf, this isn't too unreasonable... 😁)

I wouldn't let my 2yo be a woodpecker- a game which apparently consists of using a metal knife as a beak, holding it against your nose and then banging against the kitchen table.

Never has my mum's phrase of "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye" seemed so apt!

I asked DD (16) to empty the bin.
Shocking behaviour on my part.

I had the temerity to suggest that DS might want to leave the house in time to reach school. Not on time mind you, but not actually late for his, you-know Maths GCSE?

I am unreasonable, apparently.

I wanted my 3yo to walk to the shops to prove that she's capable of me taking her to London with no buggy tomorrow

I couldn't get rid of his shadow

The other day I asked ds10 to come out for a half hour walk (to get him off the bloody minecraft)

”you’ve ruined my life today”

And I’ve just started a full on teentrum when I refused to let him play on the laptop without having done some revision.

He’s having a ‘day off’ apparently. He was most disappointed when I said I wasn’🤣

Wouldn’t let 3yo wear his t-shirt back-to-front.

Told him it's bedtime an hour ago...still up

I walked down the stairs first this morning…

Also because i wont take the paddling pool out of the box at half 8 at night

Singing old McDonald, 2 year old asked me to do pandas. I said I didn't know what noise pandas made. Furious. I asked him what noise he thinks they make. Furious, I should know this apparently. I tried it anyway, he was inconsolable. Why? Because "there AREN'T ANY pandas in old McDonald mummy!!!"

Ordered a treat McDonalds to celebrate DS1 coming out of hospital. DS2 wants a cookie. No cookies available so I order a brownie as the next best thing. DS2 outraged I can't produce a cookie out of my arse. He knows the cookies are sold out. He likes brownies. He just wants a good old moan. 6 year olds are surprisingly cantankerous

I would probably have text her when she'd gone!

🤣

I took my 2 year old granddaughter out today. I got her a babychinno and treated her to a chocolate sprinkle…she usually has just the milk…she was absolutely furious that grandma had treated her to chocolate 🙄

I told her she would be unable to do an additional activity which happens at the same time as an activity she already does and does not want to stop doing.
