Re: Mommy Confessions....

I confess that DD watches my TV shows with me -- Survivor, Grey's, ER...

I confess that the dog licks her paci - and I don't always see it.

I confess that I leave her in the high chair while I make her food.

I confess that some things I won't confess.

Re: Mommy Confessions....

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I don't use the shopping cart thingy either. I also can't remember where his vitamins are or the last time I gave them to him.

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I can top you all.

Ava stood up and peed in the tub the other day.

Instead of getting her out and re-washing her, I let her play for a few more minutes to avoid a screaming tantrum!!!!

P.S. Please don't tell my Mom!!

Re: Mommy Confessions....

DD has peed in the tub many times and i have let her keep playing for a few minutes too i forgot about that one. kayla and ava should meet, they have something in common already lol

Re: Mommy Confessions....

wow we have a bunch of little pee-in-the-tubbers! lol

Re: Mommy Confessions....

i keep my 5 month old up till 10-11pm so that we can both sleep in.

i yell at dh when he's supposed to be playing with ds but he's really watching t.v. but i do it all the time when he's not home.

i don't sterilize things very often.

i give ds his zantac & vitamin from the dropper and put it back into the bottle without washing it.

i spend WAY too much time on here while i should be cleaning or playing with ds.

i liked reading all of your confessions.

Re: Mommy Confessions....

i confess that DD is in my bed right now and FH is on the couch in the living room watching tv while i sit here and read all these confessions.. lol

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I confess : I love this thread!
I confess : DS is asleep in his carriage right now because he fought bed time sooooo bad.
I confess: I will put him in the exasaucer so I can throw a load of wash in or simply have "me" time.
I confess: I let the inlaws dog kiss him as he laughs hysterical.
I confess: I do use the shopping cart cover. Hmmmm now, rethinking it.

Re: Mommy Confessions....

i confess that seeing all these babies on the boards and at work every day is making me want another one!

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I have another one
I dont let my 11yr old do certain things or I make her keep it a secret so the 6yr old doesnt throw a fit
I know its completely WRONG but if I can avoid the crying fit I will do whatever it takes
ie: 6yr old "I dont want Juliet to go swimming at her friends house,or to wear her hair in a ponytail,or to have pizza for dinner"
then I tell 11yr old to lie and say she didnt

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I too forgot to give my DS his vitamins.

I can sometimes be a screaming mom. I work hard not to but it happens occasionally.

I think I look foward to watching Ben10 and Spongebob more than DS.

I find playing parking lot (where you line up all the toy cars in a row) extremely boring but will play it for hours with DS just because it makes him happy.

Sometimes I will skip pages on a super long book at DS bedtime just so I can finish it and get some alone time at night.

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I confess that I spend too much time cleaning rather then playing (about 2hrs every morning. I rather them wreck their rm and play with what ever they want until I get in there to clean it.

I confess I am not afraid of germs, if I came home from the hospital within one day of giving birth I would still take them out.

I confess I don't read as much as I should to them.

I confess I'm a yeller towards my 9yr old (I do feel bad but he should know better)

I confess I don't clean the binki if it fall (unless it fell in mud or something)

I confess I enjoy going to work my 3hrs a wk

I confess I have given my 2 yr old m&ms in the am if food shopping

I have so many more but I'll stop hear.

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I confess that DH and I have changed DD in our empty trunk one too many times instead of looking for a bathroom

I confess that I let DD sleep in my bed so that I dont have to hear her cry and I can try to get some sleep

I confess that I buy DD way too many clothes

Re: Mommy Confessions....

Awesome thread Rach!

I confess that in the morning, if Megan wakes up earlier then I think she is supposed to, I let her babble and play around while I get a few extra zzzz's.

I let her drink her milk in front of the wonder pets so I can come on here and check the boards in the morning.

I dont get crazy over germs either. Shes a thumb sucker and I would be cleaning her hands every second of the day if I was neurotic over it.

I love to play with her but I HATE playing with her toys with her for some reason. I have never been into toys. If its fun play or singing or reading, I am fine but I am not good with toys for some reason.

Sometimes I cant wait for the weekend so Daddy can take her out in her push cart just so I can take a shower in peace.

When I go to bed at night, I dont wake up to check on her like I should I guess. I too am afraid of waking her and since we are in the same room, I have to be VERY CAREFUL.

Sometimes I depend on einstein dvds a little too much.

Re: Mommy Confessions....

great thread! I have done so many of those things and i'll add a couple:

I confess i have cut DS skin while clipping his nails and made him bleed - more then once

I confess i changed DS the other day in the back of my car, with the door open (and it was chilly outside) b/c i didnt want to put him down on a changing table in the restroom

I confess i drove 30 min out of the way to BRU b/c DS fell asleep in the car and i didn't want to wake him

I confess i rock my DS to sleep for naps b/c i love how he cuddles and looks at me like i am his world

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I confess that I spraywhipped cream right into his mouth

I confess that he is the MASTER of this house

I confess that I feel sooo guilt in missing so much time with him in his first year that I sometimes keep him up really late or wake him up early so that on my good days I can spend as much time as possible and can talk myself into believing that I am "making up" for the days I missed

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I confess that I don't always give the boys a bath at night bc I'm too tired after work. Those nights, they'll get the baby wipes rub down.

I confess that sometimes I just give Nate PB&J for dinner so I can get him to bed faster.

I confess that I rather be at work sometimes.

I confess that I sometimes count the minutes til bedtime after being home all alone with the boys.

I confess that when I don't have time to do their laundry, I'll just buy clothes on the way home from work.

I confess that I give Nate the paci when he whines for it even though I fuss at DH for doing the same.

I confess that when I hear one of them crying I ignore it with hopes that they go back to sleep.xz

I confess that I didn't feel guilty for going back to work and didn't have any real anxiety about not being with them.

I confess that I have no desire to be a SAHM bc when we both work DH definitely helps out more and is an equal parter.

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I confess about the shopping cart cover and the place mat at the restaurant. Ok well the place mat is really DD's thing she doesn't like them even at home.

I confess that we originally said that DD would watch no more than an hour of TV a day (1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night) and that has gone by the way side

I confess that I have created a little DIVA.

I confess that I too am guilty of loving being at work even though I no longer am happy at my job.

I confess that I have more days that I feel like I am not a good mother, wife or teacher than I have days that I feel like I am

I confess that I just can't do it all and that I will for go the cleaning just to have some me time because I just can't

Re: Mommy Confessions....

I confess that I don't always strap DS in the changing table when I go across the room to get his clothes.

I confess that I yell at DH for doing the above.

I confess that sometimes I wake DS up from his nap early because I want to play with him.


But my biggest confession? The one I NEVER thought I would say outloud?

I love being back at work.

I'm finding the balance of being a working mom much easier than being a SAHM. I feel like the time I spend with him is so much better because it's not ALL the time.

And I confess that even typing that made me feel guily.
