Please confess your worst parenting moments to make me feel better...

[mummyjaguar]

Mine was this weekend when we decided to give DS2 some nappy free time (good parenting) and then turned around to see him happily eating poop (BAD BAD BAD parenting!!!)

Astonishingly NHS direct said there was nothing at all to worry about and "human poo is not dangerous particularly if its your own" !

Yesterday we had a morning at home, so while dd was having her nap, I decided to have a nice time with ds playing with his railway set (good mummy).
But, I'm afraid I didn't play nicely. I was trying to make the perfect railway using all the pieces and snapped at ds for driving his cars on the railway track. He wandered off saying, 'no mamma play railway.'
In fact, so engrossed was I that I forgot to listen out for dd and she cried for about 20 minutes before I heard her.
So, that makes me bossy, pernickety, boring and negligent. Not bad for one morning.

I'm sorry, but I'm finding these stories hilarious. I'm literally crying with laughter at the tea party poo serving.

getting DS's date of birth wrong at a hospital appointment - receptionist looked very suspicious and I was thinking - anyone stealing him would make sure they got his birthdate right !

Still can't remember if it is the 15th or the 16th without having to work it out

errm, probably phoning the fire brigade to extract locked-in toddler from house, JUST after we'd got back from having his broken leg plastered in A&E...

dd got her head stuck in the stair banister at Hever castle, i laughed like a drain,had vision of fire brigade cutting away stairs that had been there hundreds of years -we had been there half hour.

I was out the garden hanging out the washing while my 2yo dd was happilly watching 'in the night garden' on tv (her favourite). Happenend to look up to my ds window as I saw something out of the corner of my eye, there was my 2yo dd standing on the windowsil inside.
To my horror I realised the other side of the window was open ...it tock me about 5 seconds to get to her, but God, was it the longest 5 seconds of my life.
She had dragged the chair from the other side of the room over to the window and climbed up!
Now all the windows are closed and locked all the time!!

Just thought of one. I mean a recent one. DS#2 likes running through those swinging signs that stand on the pavement outside shops. You know, rectangular things with a frame and a swinging bit in the middle. Questionable whether a good mother should stop him doing that of course . Anyway he saw on the other day and ran for it, only to discover it was solid and didn't swing. And I'm ashamed to say that I laughed. Is that bad enough for you? Oh the shame...
