Parenting Fail Today

[insanityscratching]

I forgot to feed ds Cooked a full roast but of course ds doesn't eat it, then I took dd to the cinema.Ds doesn't ask, but he generally hovers and I offer. Of course today he was occupied with football and Grand Prix so he's not hovered and I forgot. Came home at 7pm and it suddenly hit me he's not eaten today so went to ask if he was ok. Fortunately he is so conditioned in the routines he believes he has eaten and dh has gone to McD's to assuage my guilt.

Don't worry. I've been there too. You are juggling so much, its hard to keep track of everything!

He obviously didn't suffer any ill effects.

Not long after DS3 was born I completely forgot I had 3 DC and left DS2 at the park. He was 3. Luckily he has survived to be 12.

silly mummy!

when eldest dd was a baby I had put her in her travel seat in the hall and carried her out to the drive way to be strapped in the car. Went back and chased cat in and sheep in (had an orphan lamb I was feeding) and got in car and drove off. Wasnt till 15 miles later in tesco car park I reached over to the back to unplug baby and realised she was still sat in the driveway!

ahem.......it happens

insanity - he'll be fine :) Not so much a 'fail' as an 'oops'!

I often forget to feed DS2 It's always at the weekends because I don't have the 'home from work, make DS2 tea' routine.
He is 14 ASD and mld, sits 2 feet from the fridge at the computer and can talk... but he lives in his own world and doesn't register 'hungry' , and quite often we get to tea time and I ask Dh what DS2 had for lunch and get back 'I thought YOU had fed him...'

He has survived... bit skinny but hey ho...:D

I also once left DD2 in the nappy isle of tesco. In my defence she was 8 hours old and we popped in on the way from the hospital to pick up nappies! DH had the older two in a double trolley (aged 2 and 1..I had them very close together!) and I had DD2 in her car seat in another trolley. I simply wandered off forgetting her... when DH said 'where is DD2?!!' I waddled back to find her surrounded by tescos assistants cooing over her...

then there was the time I left DD1 in the bank and walked home.......
