I wouldn't let her drink surface sanitiser!

Can you believe I am such a rotten mum?!

I should be ashamed.

Is it bedtime yet?

Anybody else having a fun morning?

I wouldn't let mine chop her toast with the really big sharp knife

I wouldn't let mine bounce on his baby sister at 5am while she slept. Apparently we are not friends anymore 😫

WindowViper · 18/05/2024 07:27

I can’t change the date of her birthday, so I’m not coming to her party anymore.

I won’t go to the (closed) shop to buy kinder eggs for breakfast.

Fun morning here, she’s been wailing that’s it’s “not faaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrr, I haaaaaate yoooouuuuu” for 15 mins now.

This morning I wouldn't show my 3 year old how to re-program his clock at 4am so that it was time to get up.... needless to say he cried about it until it was time to get up anyway!

Andnowshesatoddler · 18/05/2024 16:42

Why won't I let her run through the self-opening doors at the cafe?

I'm a terrible mother.

My toddler was devastated I wouldn't give him an orange when he got up

... we had none in cause he'd already eaten every single one.

Guarantee he won't eat them if I get them next week in the food shop

Wistfullythinking · 18/05/2024 17:22

Gdd devasted as grandad wouldn't let her lick the jam off his toast.

Cbljgdpk · 18/05/2024 17:25

I wouldnt let mine take a big plastic singing chair to the cinema, obviously just being evil

DGD is no longer my best friend because I cut her apple into the wrong shape. I am a very naughty Nana.

Wistfullythinking · 18/05/2024 17:36

We're all so awful! I've just read the thread to grandad to make him laugh 😂

TeenLifeMum · 18/05/2024 17:39

I ruined dd3’s life because I took her phone (she’s 12, almost 13) and that ruined her snap streak. Thankfully the other 2 seem to like me.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 18/05/2024 17:44

I asked my 13 year old what style of pyjamas she'd like me to get her, since she says she needs new ones and refuses to go to a shop or look online, and is guaranteed to dislike anything I pick out. So she had to take one earpod out to listen to me ask, and then make a face at how unreasonable I was being to want to know.

Budge up on the bad parent bench, incoming...

Why can't the fruit bowl grow more bananas? Life is so unfair.

Oh no!! Not the apple in the wrong shape saga!!

Worse than the toast cut the wrong way. Apparently.

😂

I gently asked my 2 year old to please scribble on her colouring book with her felt tip pens rather than directly on the coffee table. Cue 10 mins of gut wrenching sobbing, bottom lip protruding and lying on the floor heartbroken. How could I be so cruel and unreasonable.

DifficultBloodyWoman · 19/05/2024 06:57

I changed her nappy which, judging by the screams, is akin to torture.

Andnowshesatoddler · 19/05/2024 07:57

@pbdr
How very dare you try and curb their artistic talent? How will she ever be the best Banksy without your coffee table.

I wouldn't let my 11 year old DS spend all day yesterday in his room on his Switch. I made him come out for a walk into town where I bought him an ice cream.

Somebody call Childline.

Fridaysgirl17 · 19/05/2024 08:03

I tried to put pyjamas bottoms on under my son's new obsession,his Spiderman costume (i bought it so my fault entirely,he was poorly & I thought it would perk him up🫣) & boy was he not having it, he threw them away,crossed his arms,humphed at me,& said no no no no, so I just gave up but he's happy in his costume now 🤷🏻‍♀️

Danikm151 · 19/05/2024 08:07

Told my four year old that we’re not going to Nanny’s until later. He wanted to go as soon as he woke up…. At 6am, on Sunday.

onwardandupwards · 19/05/2024 08:26

My 4 year old ds is tantruming as I won't buy him a real dalmation dog right now today ( he is obsessed with 101 dalmations) he wants blue strawberries for breakfast not the stupid red ones I have and wants to sit out side in his pants and wellies waiting for the icecream van who doesn't come until next Saturday. It's going to be a long day 😩

ChaosAndCrumbs · 19/05/2024 08:59

I’ve said dd has to brush her hair. #nightmare

My youngest (just turned 4) asked to drive the car when we went to the shops. I said no, he's too little. Hysterical sobbing ensued.

Apparently sitting in the driver's seat with the engine off wasn't going to cut it, it had to be actual driving.

Mine broke my heart by mashing all the different colour play-doh together.
