To pour an entire bottle of breastmilk on my sleepy baby?

[Iwasjustabouttosaythat]

Because I am so sleep deprived I forgot to put the lid on? I just put it to her lips and poured it all over her. Poor little thing.

And how many cups of tea can you make by pouring cold water over your tea? 3 in a row? Sigh.

Anyone care to share stupid things they've done due to sleep deprivation? Make me feel better about my wet, smelly baby.

Haha yeah i can laugh at it now but my heart was in my throat at the time my DH thought i was going crazy haha 😂

I had a problem with my house pbone once so called Talk Talk from wotk to report it. The automated voice kept saying it didnt recognise my account number and i fonally got through to a human. Said human told me I had switched to Sky 2 years before

I emptied all the soggy cereal breakfast bowls in to my clean laurdrey id just taken out of the dryer instead of in the bin.
Went to wash my hands at work, I put the soap on rubbed it in then placed my hands under the hot water geezer bru maker thingy and pushed lever. Lucky I pulled my hand away as soon as the water hit and only ended up with a mild burn

MrsKoala - what did the nanny say? .

This used to happen to me every day for years.

1. make love hot brew
2. find disgusting cold brew still full
3. think ok will heat up cold brew in microwave
4. open door to microwave to discover yesterday's cold brew

I resolved this eventually - I got rid of the microwave

i told my granny that my baby's name was bi-sexual!
I meant uni-sex!

I pointed out the "fire engine shop" to my small DD once. I meant fire station but the name evaded me 😂

DoNotBlameMe I did exactly the same most days until I also got rid of my microwave!

The nanny was her usual lovely self and laughed. We had a autocorrect moment last week with the gardener when he locked himself out the house and texted me saying 'sorry, I've shit myself out the front' which made her laugh. So I drew on that as a well it could have been worse example.

Thank you to all of you lovely MNers who have posted to this thread and others... I'm in the middle of a bad patch and reading this has made me feel normal for the first time in forever! Laughter truly is the best medicine, especially when stories are heart felt and received with kindness!
Thank you :-)

My absolute worst is when both children (3 and 6 months-ish at the time) were full of a cold and very clingy. I'd had no sleep the night before and had them on me all day, so when DP came in from work all I wanted was to pee in peace. I was so sleep deprived and desperate that I ran to the toilet, sat straight down and peed through my clothes.

Tried to use the wrong keys/card for things more times than I can count, got so embarrassed at having to head straight back to the local shop because I'd bought everything except what I'd gone to buy that I started going to another one on the second trip and similar to a few PP completely forgot DS's name and could only introduce him by the pet name we have for him.

I just recently put my DHs wallet in the freezer. No substitute for it so not sure what I was thinking. We spent ages looking around the house for it thinking the girls had had it (mainly DD2 (1)). He gave up looking and borrower my bank card (joint account anyway) for the food shop. I found it the next morning when pulling out meat to defrost for dinner!

DH just laughed. He once put the tub of coffee in the fridge. Again no substitute. I found it an hour or so later when going in the fridge. As I don't drink instant coffee and he'd gone to work nobody realised that one was missing for a while.

Oh and I've once out the kettle on to boil without the lid on! I'd wondered what was taking the kettle so long to finish and realised I'd boiled most the water off!

Just remembered another one - only brushed half my teeth...
Spent the whole day thinking something wasn't quite right (checking I was wearing knickers/trousers/bra etc)
Realised when I got home and found toothpaste covered toothbrush sitting on top of a chest of drawers...

'please stay and touch us'

Mysa74 I've thought of one just recently - our beloved cat had cancer and was incurable. He lasted about 7 weeks and then had to be put to sleep. Me and DS were absolutely gutted, and couldn't speak on the phone to tell people because we would both sob. So I texted a few people on my new (bastard) smartphone to tell them instead.

I sent a text arounf telling people he had been put to sleep but it had been very peaceful because he had died in my ARSE. Of course I meant to write arms but it was my first ever touch screen phone and I really wasn't used to tapping away with one finger

I still miss our lovely cat so much, but thinking about that text makes me laugh now. Died in my arse? What a bloody mistake to make at such a sad time!

HoldBackTheRain that gives a whole new meaning to the Cutting Crew song!

I typed the text through my tears which is what I had to keep telling people. Nobody quite new how to reply!

I woke DH once to tell him I couldn't find the baby - I was frantically looking under the covers. DH points out that DS is asleep in his little crib by the bed and I shout "NO - NOT HIM THE OTHER ONE!"

Took DH ages to calm me down and convince me we only had one baby.

It is funny now but it's so shit at the time being that tired! It does (unbelievably) pass though so chin up to anyone in the middle of it now.

Today, I felt so productive and pleased with myself despite the tiredness and drudgery of a morning cleaning and shopping - house clean and bargains found. DS napped in the pram on the way home from the high street and I had half hour talking to my mum whilst walking in the sunshine. Happiness. Got home and whilst cooking had a strange memory of DRIVING to the shops. Now ending the day with a parking fine, d'oh!
