OK...none of us are actually bad mommies!! I saw this on another board and thought it would be fun if we played. I will start us off.

I'm a bad mommy because I let DD eat an old Cheerio from the kitchen floor. I just turned my head and pretended not to see.

I'm a bad mommy because last night when Maria was near me I could smell a dirty diaper...I wispered...Go give Daddy a kiss. She did and he said.."Oh My, You need your diaper changed!" Which he promptly did. He's a good Daddy!!

I'm a bad mommy because I have let DD watch waaayyy more Dora this morning than she should have, my excuse is that I'm trying to get some cleaning done.

I'm feeling you on the too much TV this morning. I never put on the TV and just let her sit there... but I figured it was Sunday morning, I could indulge her in the Disney channel. lol!

My bad mommy moment is allowing Madeline to whine for a few minutes today at nap time.

[JillnChris]

Haha, I am always doing stuff and then thinking to myself "I'm such a bad mommy."
I am a bad mommy because I don't brush dd's teeth EVERY night.
I am a bad mommy because I like to sit on the couch and veg out on Sunday mornings so I just kinda let dd watch tv or play by herself.
I am a bad mommy because I still let dd sleep with a pacifier and have no intentions of taking it away any time soon because I LOVE MY SLEEP a little too much.

Ahhh, it feels so good to get those little confessions off my chest!

... I let my 10 year old go to a slumber party last night with a girl who has a history of being mean to my daughter. 12:30 this a.m. we got a phone call. My ten year old was calling from her cell phone from the bathroom crying because this evil girl was being mean to her. We picked her up!

I didn't want to send her b/c this girl was going to be there. The b-day girl is a good friend of my daughters and she really wanted to be there for her.

In my kids' opinion, mine, or that of other adults?

I let my kids get most of their mineral nutrition from dirt . . . wee one fell off the toilet at the bookstore yesterday because I got distracted for a split second (something about having 2 one-year-olds) . . . I make my kids eat all their food before they get any "dessert" . . . I have no patience with my kids when I'm upset about some adult matter . . . I used coffee as an incentive for them to start walking . . . I wouldn't let Bear go out to dinner with us Friday . . . basically I am going to bad mommy hell someday.

LOL Scoot over Sister and save me a seat next to ya.
I am a bad mommy because I gave Carlos potato chips for breakfast today. And I am guilty of doing the "go see daddy" thing too. Carlos and I have the entire Noggin line up memorized. I even let him watch TV in the car even if we are only going to pick dd up from school, and while watching in the car he is usually munching on DAYS old fries that he found in his seat,from picking up dinner at McD's because I did not feel like cooking. I feel so much better getting this off my chest.

I love confessions...bring em on.

[Michelle Smiles]

Oh I don't have time to write all the ways I am a bad mommy.

I'm a bad mommy because my daughter repeatedly bumps her head on the coffee table and unless it sounds like it really hurt I tell her "You are okay" and she goes about her business.

I'm a bad mommy because I slept in this morning and let hubby take care of her - which means she watched 3 episodes of Bunnytown.

I'm a bad mommy because at some meals I don't feel like fighting with her and give her stuff she likes (fruit and bread) instead of what she should eat (protein and veggies).

I'm a bad mommy because I'm 6 months pregnant and moving in less than 2 weeks - no energy + packing boxes = neglectful momma these days.

[ana-mom]

I am a bad mommy because....

After 2 hours of shopping yesterday (and being really good), I let Ana go running and screaming through Kohl's to blow off some steam while my sister shopped....and I chased her!

I put Ana's potty in front of the TV so she would stay put and pee.

I have no patience for whining (when well fed and napped) and will usually tell Ana to stop it.

[PackGirl]

I am a bad mommy cuz....

The rule in our house is "No Blood, No Foul".
With three rough and tumble boys who are 3,2,2... I would spend my entire day comforting them for every single bump and bruise.... nope... If you are really hurt and it wasnt your fault... come to momma... If you jumped off your toybox after I told you not to, and you landed wrong... oopps.... live and learn!!!

I use the Bee Movie, Alvin, and Shrek movies to get housework and cooking done. Although they are also addicted to the good night show on sprout.

We eat at McD's at least once a week... They L-O-V-E the playplace ... and I love that they wear themselves out without using me to entertain them!!!

[KKR213]

I am a bad Mommy since I let John watch WAY TOO MUCH tv. He has lines memorized from Cars and he is only 2 1/2!

And I gave John a Pop Tart for breakfast at daycare on Friday. It was blueberry (but frosted) and he also had a banana and milk.

And the cd player in my car broke 2 months ago and I don't think I am going to get it fixed just so I don't have to ever listen to the Wiggles or Doodlebops in the car again!!

[WaitingforBrian]

Can't resist this one.....
I am a bad mommy because i have a 10 second rule about how long food can remain on the floor before it becomes inedible (problem is we have a cat and a dog, good thing is DD remains healthy despite my bad mommying)

DD knows all the words to most of her DVDs which can be a little disturbing

Better not say anymore!!!!! LOL LOL

Great thread, Bad Mommy Stephanie

I'm a bad mommy because:

I let AP watch tv every morning while I go get dressed. It keeps her occupied.

I also let AP watch the Wonder Pets when we're in the car no matter where we go. It keeps her happy.

When we are in a restaurant I will let her have some of my sweet tea to again....keep her happy.

I have a feeling when Essie gets home I will have A LOT more to add to this list!

[linda512]

Wow- you guys make me feel like mommy of the year .
Okay, just kidding.
I let my son eat food off the floor.
I don't brush his teeth every night because it's a fight.
He watches tv every morning while I get ready (or plays on the computer by himself!)
He still has his pacifiers (has to have 2 at a time)
There's more, but that will do for now...

[KarynB]

Haha! Love this thread!

I am a bad mommy because:

I put kids to bed last night and played Wii without them for three hours - a really violent game too!

Because I HATE volunteering in my kids' classrooms. Seriously, I hate it. Teacher is there, why do I need to be too? (-:

Because I have bought: yo-go's, store-bought birthday cakes, pop tarts and more...

I also hate clipping toenails and finger nails and make them do it themselves...

Because I won't peel their oranges for them - can't stand dried orange smell on my hands.
