You accuse DP of having an affair because there’s a She pee in your car and you hate camping. DP calmly told me it’s a petrol filter and made me a cuppa.

Tell me why you need more sleep...

Also forgetting you're allowed to turn left at a roundabout and becoming convinced that I had to go all the way round it first

When you PUT the toddler-training loo insert ONTO the toilet before taking a wee

When you try to sit at the Stokke Trip Trap for your lunch

I knew when I put a babygro on my baby and didn’t realise I’d forgotten to put a nappy on until he pissed through it.

I thought he’d rolled into a drink and told off older son for leaving his cup on the floor.

@Twixes when, completely sober and in a client's house at work, you go to the loo and totally forget to take your pants down before you have a wee...

When I got half way through a shower and realised I still had my bra and knickers on...

JammyHands · 23/08/2020 21:38

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve tried to push my specs on to the top of my head only to find there’s already another pair there.

Twixes · 23/08/2020 21:38

@whydobirds Grin or when you're in the shower and you realise you're still wearing your knickers

When you want to season your dinner but instead of picking up the salt or pepper you pour a bottle of lager over it.

Managed to mix two huge scoops of protein powder into baby’s banana porridge rather than my yoghurt this morning.
Confused

I realised before I fed it to him! Might have been a bit filling for a 6 mth old

Sproutpie · 23/08/2020 21:45

When you wash your face and still have your glasses on 🤦🏻‍♀️

whydobirds · 23/08/2020 21:46

Spending ages making homemade stock only to tip it down the sink when straining it.

Forgetting to put oven gloves on to take dishes out of the oven.

Setting electric oven on fire

Setting self on fire

I could go on forever with this...

I have a responsible job, honest Grin

Sorry OP but your nail polish looks awesome. Mind sharing the shade? Grin

You plan the weeks meals around a shipping order that is coming tomorrow and tell DH not to buy stuff as there’s an order coming but there’s no order booked as I forgot to do it but was convinced I had....

Also Getting into the shower with glasses still on

MrsHound · 23/08/2020 21:49

I recently got up and went to car to drive to work...was halfway there until I remembered I have been working from home since March!

YouAndMeAndTheDevilMakesThree · 23/08/2020 21:49

Yesterday I filled up the microwave sterliser and put it in the fridge instead of the microwave.

Last week I put 2 yo DC1 in the bath still wearing their socks

TerrifiedandWorried · 23/08/2020 21:52

When you go to preschool to pick up your child, wait ten minutes for the doors to open and then they piss themselves laughing at you gently remind you that he is in fact at the childminder.

Mumumumu · 23/08/2020 21:54

When you start running around in a public place panicking that you’ve lost toddler when you’re in fact carrying said toddler on your hip 🤦‍♀️

AlCalavicci · 23/08/2020 21:54

When i try to ues my works eletronic pass ( which unlocks doors ) to unlock my house front door.

Ok that mentioned tinned beans , store the tins upside down, open them the right way up all the beans come out much easier.

Melrose86 · 23/08/2020 21:59

Messaged a local business yesterday to leave feedback. Today messaged them a photo of my toddler in the bath ( meant to send it to my husband but as they were the last people I messaged I clicked on them instead) Blush

My late aunt was so short of sleep when her constantly-crying DD was tiny that she lifted her over her head and prepared to launch her, soccer throw-in stylee, out of the open sash window. DH fortunately stepped in.

Dramalady52 · 23/08/2020 22:18

My best one was confusing the 3 litre wine box for the 6 pint milk bottle and adding wine to my tea 😳 . I was very tired

AlCalavicci · 23/08/2020 22:19

@whydobirds
I have poured stock away more times than I can remember by doing that 🙄

LittleRed53 · 23/08/2020 22:21

When you suddenly panic that you forgot to put your baby's monitor on, but then remember she's not in her bed- you're currently BFing her. Blush

Did it taste good? 🤔 I prefer whisky in my tea...
