Am i a total TWAT!!!

[mummysgoingmad]

My friend was getting wardrobes delivered to my address this morning, i was shattered this morning so i set my alarm and went for a kip on the sofa while ds was playing. Ds (17months) took my phone and put it in the bath! dont even know how he managed to get in there as the door was shut. i've now missed the delivery and my friends dp has had to come home from work to meet the delivery man

ambu or am i a twat of the highest order!!!!!

this lady did not nod off she set her alarm clock and went to sleep.

why did she not take her little one out to play in the garden if she was feeling tired. have some strong coffee etc.

we all feel tired at times medication or not. you need to speak to gp re your meds. going for a kip while your baby is running around is neglectful in my opinion.

at 17months your baby would probably still be having nap at lunch. could you really not wail till then.

No i couldn't as i've said before in this thread i had an awful nights sleep and literally couldn't keep my eyes open the only door i thought was open was the livingroom door there is a stairgate on the kitchen door and again as i've already said i have no idea how he got into the bathroom, it was a 1 off ffs!!..i live in a flat and the local dump is probably more sanitary then the communal backyard. What medication i'm on is of not important and is really none of anybodys buisness.

Have none of you never made a mistake before? Stop painting this picture of me being a neglectful mother. I feel asleep its not the crime of the century!

you never fell asleep, you went to sleep, their is a difference.

The point being being also you have been neglectful to yr DC, if he had had a serious injury and needed hospital treatment, you would have been investigated by SS for neglect, by your knowingly irresponsibility to your DC.

You were lucky this time in that no incident occurred, but next time maybe not so luckily

You set your alarm and went to sleep, leaving your wide awake baby to his own devices, that is neglect and selfish

I am not happy about being labelled a twat on this thread, the op asked if she was a twat, i said yes she is a twat, how does that make me one too?

Thread is going round in circles, yes you acted like a twat, not for being asleep and unable to accept delivery of wardrobe, but for being asleep and not supervising your toddler. I think you have got that message! and yes we all make mistakes.

As someone else suggested get yourself to your GP and sort out your medication so you dont need to sleep while responsible for a toddler or so you can get a good nights sleep so you dont need to sleep during the day.

All I can say is YOU asked! People have answered! If its made you feel like a bad mother in future avoid asking peoples views if there is potential for it to be an answer you may not like.

oh and someone mentioned double standards with TLE, the diffence is, TLE lay down with her ds for them both to have a nap, unfortunately he woke before she did, and she was mortified.

she didnt set her alarm and go the bed leaving him to fend for himself like the OP did, plus the OP was more concerned about misssing the delivery than she was about her baby wandering about on his own, poor child

here we go again!!!the MN police force at work.oooh shocking,child abuse,neglet,call the social services.op was sleeping and her child was waking around the flat.sorry but so bloody what???!i am sure she has locked her front door.the child(not a baby but a toddler) open the door of the bathroom put the phone in the bath that was EMPTY.DS didnt hurt him self,even if he did fall he would get up and cry because that is what kids do,they are still learning.
so all you health&safety mad people give it a rest,seriously...
and op,no youre not a twat.your friend is probably mad with you at the moment but shell get over it.

Stop painting this picture of me being a neglectful mother.

DONT POST IN AIBU THEN!!!!! cmon woman, you have been here before, did you really not think that some people would comment on the sleeping/toddler issues?

sorry but you were "asking for it"!

Exactly B1984 they are still learning, they dont know what is dangerous and what isnt. He could have filled a bath, he could have turned on the hot tap, played with plug sockets etc, etc.

All ifs and buts, he didnt come to any harm this time. Lack of sleep is terrible and OP needs to sort out her sleeping and medication, so she doesnt need to sleep while responsible for a 17 month old baby.
