Does anyone else get moments when you feel you aren't getting this mother thing right?

[Pinkchampagne]

Or is it just me??!!

Ahh, was getting all hopeful then that I wasn't the only one!!!

pmsl at sometimes my knickers are even clean!!!

I do get the washing done, but ironing is another matter! I mean when DS naps, I have to mnet!!!

blimey, unichef..what a pleasant change for someone to be nice to you in the check-out queue!

can't stand it when the blue rinse brigade start tutting at you in the queue when the kids kick off. at heart, i'm a super-wimp who hates to offend..but am getting mouthy in my old age...a la

'Yes, that's what babies do, you know. They CRY."

"Bloody norah..were you never a child yourself?"
(muttered under my breath, of course)

particularly satisfying when they sidle off to another aisle to escape the MAD MOTHER

I can't mnet when DS is awake - he is toooo into everything and likes my attention....its very cute when he tries to scrabble up onto my legs for a cuddle...awww!!!

I feel I should be doing useful things instead of mnetting...being productive while DS is asleep....piles of neatly ironed shirts and lasagne bubbling away in oven...

Ahh well, I 'aint perfect!

Hey, this is a thread on where you are failing as a mother, not being perfect & whipping up home cooked meals in between sorting your ironing!! I have the biggest pile of ironing in the world and I'm being a useless mother!!!

I do manage to have a meal ready for DH most nights but that's about it! I have to though as he just cannot cook and I'm too hungry to wait for him to faff about with how to grate cheese for beginners or similar!

Sorry, v tired & not reading properly, and see that you are admitting you don't do perfect mother things while your DS sleeps! I shall let you off!!

I wondered what you meant!!! lol!! Am far from perfect!! Am lovely though!

Best I get myself to bed ready for another day of fun tomorrow!!

God, I thought EVERYONE else had those moments!

I am sure you are (lovely that is!), sorry I have my tired eyes on atm! Definitely time for bed!!

I do too....he looks mournful when has no shirts ironed and he hates coming home to toys everywhere/chaotic house but if I didn't mnet when DS slept, I'd be very bored and miserable! I do try to be organised...I actually emptied my suitcase today from when I stayed at my mums...

I stayed there three weeks ago.....

Feck is that the time!!!

My bed is actually made!

Nite all mwah mwah

Me - I get those moments and my eldest is 26!!!

but joash..you've dragged a child all the way to adulthood.
respect!
sweet dreams all
don't let the (unmade) bed bugs bite..

• & not only one - I have another at 23, one at 17 (and then GS who's 4)

Insanity is hereditary - you get it from your kids!!!

yes i have many many times. the worse time was when i actually dropped him when i got him out of the bath. i felt so bad i thought "who the hell drops their baby"

however my friends and family confessed that they have also done this as some point lol
