Parenting confessions

[SickOfTheSpiders]

I'm sitting here watching my 2 year old twins eat cereal while they wait for dinner to cook... In short, I'm absolutely terrible for giving in. The double tantrums are just too much - and they'd get so worked up that then they wouldn't eat their dinner anyway!

I also have a bucket in my back garden, underneath the living room window. I open the window and drop their nappies into it until they go to bed and I can get to the outside bin without them escaping. A bit mortifying when doing a nappy change at a friend's house, only for them to shout "can I throw it out the window mummy" 🙈

Sometimes I feel like such a slovenly mum. Please help me feel better by sharing your lazy and disgusting parenting habits!

Mine had two ice lollies and a bowl of porridge for her dinner and is now painting herself green whilst I eat a Chinese takeaway. I regret nothing. It's been one of those bastard days.

My kids had yellow face paint on 4 days ago and my 2 year old is still slightly jaundiced as I'm too lazy to do more than a cursory wash

My 18month went and helped himself to cereal from the cupboard yesterday evening while tea was cooking. He and his sister sat on the floor and shared handfuls from the box. Meh.

I am currently spending longer than needed 'having a wee' because I just need a minute without someone touching/screaming at/demanding things of me.
