To want bad mums stories

[MrsHoodwink]

Today my DD had her 3rd McDonalds in 3 days. Tea’s all sorted for tomorrow don’t panic My mental health has been rubbish so different friends/her dad had taken her out for tea and each time she’d manage to score a McDonalds happy meal

AIBU to ask for your ‘bad mum’ stories so I don’t feel as bad

I dont care if the mcdonalds was unreasonable its too late now

I’ll throw a bowl of fruit at her the rest of the week honest

I'm currently sat in bed mentally crossing my fingers and toes - DD is cry/whining in the next room and has been waking up every night for about 2 hours during the night for weeks now. No idea why, been to doctors and doesn't seem ill, just wants cuddles and attention and will not go back down!

So I'm ignoring her. I've tried everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Doesn't want to cosleep. Will happily feed ALL NIGHT.

I'm in work all day tomorrow and am wishing for her to Just Shut Up.

When my kids were little they both fell asleep on the couch and I just left them napping there. Got myself a cup of tea and put on Oprah. Only I fell asleep too and awoke to find both kids sitting in front of the TV engrossed in Cheaters.

I still have guilt over accidentally cutting the eldests finger when I was cutting his nails as a baby. He cried for two minutes, I cried for two hours and refused to trim his nails again. He’s 19 in a few weeks.

When ds2 was 4 months old, I plonked him down on a chair so I could get my bag and stuff together, it was a split second later that I realised ds2 couldn’t actually sit up so I spun right around to grab him. It was too late, he had already toppled and I didn’t grab him in time before he face planted the floor. He cried for a few seconds until I put him on my boob and he was fine. All the blood 3 drops of it from his nose made me feel even more guilty though.

I don’t know what I was thinking, except maybe I just thought he was his 20 month old brother who could sit up, or maybe I wasn’t thinking at all... I was extremely tired that day. He’s 8 now and still uses that to try and negotiate a later bed time or something

I fell over getting my dd out of the back of my 3 door car. My foot got wrapped in seat belt and we face planted out of the door.
I tried to stop her hitting the ground but couldn't.
I freaked a bit and ran into nursery a bit demented.
The assistant manager who was amazingly calm, caring and first aid trained said she was fine and not to worry and if I was ok I should go to work, they would keep an eye on her and call me straight away if anything wrong.
I felt so bad and worried I had caused concussion. Got to work, walked in the office and burst into tears.
My colleagues rallied round and told me all their stories about when they accidentally injured their kids to make me feel better!
Still miss that team.
