the worst thing I have ever done due to child induced fatigue

[80schild]

I feel awful about this. DS had me up a lot last night as a result I got a maximum of 4 hour sleep, as a result I am bordering on exhausted, particularly with the other one just back at school.

Anyway we went out for a walk this morning to a park which is a good 15 minutes by car. I got home, went to get him out and realised I hadn't strapped him - I had been driving down an A road at 50 and he wasn't strapped him. I still feel awful about it. I think it is probably the worst thing I have ever done. We are snuggling up on the sofa now and resting. Has anyone else ever done similar? Also, how is it people manage to not be dopy when they are so tired?

I feel so much better about driving off with the car door open now!

When DS was a newborn, I would breastfeed him in bed in the middle of the night and then put him back in his Moses basket. I would always wake up in a panic about half an hour after doing this thinking that I had lost him in the duvet. My DH thought it was hilarious that I was frantically searching the bedding but I was such a sleep deprived and nervous wreck I thought I'd lost the baby or even smothered him despite him being asleep in the Moses basket next to me

Left the house with my actual cup of tea.
Searched high and low for my mobile phone and getting quite frustrated and worried, all the while ranting about not knowing where i could have put it to the person i was talking to...on the phone!
I have left my door unlocked, with the keys in the lock on the outside, several times.
Left my keys at my parents house, got all the way home and remembered where they were...several times.
I always go to appointments either a day late or a day early, despite marking the dates in my diary...i just always mark the wrong dates!!
Put a tea bag into my ds juice.

When im reading an actual book or something, i try and swipe it or click on things.

Waking up with that god awful gut wrenching feeling when i realise i must have dozed off and the kids have been unsupervised.

Convincing myself my alarm clock is telling me lies first thing on a morning, so i turn it off thinking im winning this battle....when its actually real life and i wake up late for school and things!

So so tired with a non sleeping 4 month old, who was screaming , so thought i would go for a walk with pram (he either sleeps or stops crying when in it). Went out (hair horrid and dressed like a smelly bag woman as i just wanted to get going asap as he was screaming), went for a nice walk round a castle with a green grassy but in front, noticed ds was asleep so i just parked pram up on grass and slept next to it...hopinv people thought i was just chilling in son...

Also forgot ds date of birth when asked

And yesterday i needed to go to the bank, went to drop ds off with gran so i could get stuff done. Drove all way to town, spent ages trying to find a space, parked, then went to get money and realised id left my purse in ds change bag with gran. Had to do whole journey again

Complain that im tired, yet i stay up so fricken late every single night. Its not just the kids...i drive myself mad, too!

I'm another one who has not strapped baby in car seat or not strapped car seat in car.

I flooded the kitchen several times after leaving the tap running.

I've also left the front door wide open. Just the other night I left the front door keys in the lock overnight can't even blame sleep deprivation. I've left the sliding side door of the van wide open and another time left the keys in the ignition. It's amazing we've never been burgled!

I poured wine into my toddler's beaker and only realised when I went to pour milk into my wine glass!

I have forgotten my pin number more than once due to tiredness. usually at supermarket

I once wore three bras, one on top of the other. Didn't realise til I went to bed that evening.

I remember arriving home with a crying baby, at my wits end, standing at the front door feeling like the whole world was against me because the door just wouldn't open, then realising I hadn't yet tried to open it.

I completed DS2's passport application incorrectly. The lovely lady rang me up to ask if we really had decided to change DS2's name to the same as DS1's!!

He was about 2 weeks old, I'd had a hellish labour, he'd been in NICU but was BF so I'd been up and down for hours and then he developed reflux so would feed for hours, vomit copiously and start again.

It was 4 years before he slept through!

When he was three I took them DS1 - 5 and DS2 - 3 to the park after school. Warm sunny day. Park started to empty a little (was right next to the school) and I laid down on the warm black squidgy matting and fell asleep. A kind lady woke me up to check I wasn't in a diabetic coma!
