To ask your lowest point in parenting (so far)... Light hearted!

[Topas0117]

So this morning, I think I've hit my parenting low and thought 'this is my life'.

DD whose 9 months was being very clingy and breaking her heart on the bathroom floor.

So there I was, sat on the loo trying to poop with DD on my knee and Ben and Holly on my phone balancing on the radiator!

Anyone else?

Oh where to start .... my current fav and total pants parenting moment. Weaning the Minx, some revolting green stuff all over her face, turn to grab the wipes. Look back to see she and the dog are going for mutual grooming. Probably not the last time I will say 'do not lick the dog!' 😛

One day in my own with the children (ML) I suddenly had an attack of diarrhoea- the sort that won't stop coming and toy can't get off the toilet.
My eldest barged into the (only) bathroom moaning about needing a wee. I told him to fetch a bucket and wee in that. As he was doing so the baby came crawling in, made a beeline for the bucket and knocked it flying (during which time son was still weeing and I was still diarrhoea-ing).
I yelled at him to clean it up. After a shouting match (he thought he'd shouldn't have to as he hadn't knocked it over) he half heartedly mopped up with loo paper and stormed off. Then the baby ATE some of the piss-soaked paper.

honey that sounds like a nightmare! I remember my toddler went into the cupboard under the sink, put her hand into a nappy that had poo that had come out like peanut butter and then into her mouth before I could get to her .

It's a wonder they survive sometimes.

i remember googling and trying to figure out the consequences of eating your own poo but could find nothing conclusive!

Whilst we were potty training DD, the worst thing that happened was the dog eating the leavings, it happened twice when DD went through a phase of sneaking off to do her business.

When I went to A+E at the weekend with DD (not a parental fail a school accident) there was a toddler getting x-rayed because he swallowed a magnet.

The mam was proper shook up bless her, I wish this thread had been about to show her.

I've had to name change for this as it totally outs me as it's the family legend of risk assessment fails.

We moved from a flat to a house.
DS1 was 2 DD2 was 1.
We had removed the plate glass front door so just had the (unlocked) porch doors.
I was in the garden and DH upstairs.
It went quiet.
It was nice.
Then it was suspicious.
We quickly realised they had gone and weren't hiding.
They weren't in our relatively small road. They had got onto the much busier road at the end and were almost at the next side road.
They were surrounded by confused adults.
The Fucking clincher was that DS was naked but for a vest. DD was covered in chickenpox and pushing a dolls buggy!
Both absolutely furious at being captured as they were going for a walk
Terrifying as they were literally only gone a few minutes but executed a plan that would have made Steve McQueen weep with pride.
Took me a loooong time to get over that one.
