If you ask my child, I'm a terrible mommy because... - Page 3

[holothuroidea]

I must be a monster, I don't let her even touch the dishwasher.

In addition to changing diapers, I insist that she must KEEP IT ON!

I do not allow dancing on the couch. I've also banned living room olympics.

I cannot change the laws of physics, the square block doesn't fit in the round hole and there's nothing I can do about it!

[Lillypop]

I won't buy junk at the grocery store (pop-tarts, chocolate milk, candy, "fruit snacks", juice, etc.)

I tell my 26 month old to wait sometimes for milkies ... like if he has it right before we sit down to dinner, he has to wait until after the meal (otherwise he'd never eat any solid food)

I don't let the baby EAT the cat's tail.

I made them all hold hands and walk in a line as we walked the 2 blocks through the city from the parking lot to the library (we even had to cross the street) ... because I really was a terrible mommy and forgot the double stroller :-(

I don't let them wear the same clothes over and over again if they're dirty (beyond that, we have no clothing rules. wear what you want, pick it out, put it on, look like a doofus, I don't care. self expression and all that.)

Oh my . . . This thread has me rolling!

My son is pretty easy so far . . . At 16 months he is just very annoyed with me for shutting doors and refusing to open them back up when he bangs on them. I'm supposed to open up when someone knocks, right!? If I would just mind him then he could run outside, into the bathroom, into the laundry room, down the stairs . . . I ruin all the fun!

Oh - and I too am an ogre who changes diapers!

[fyrwmn]

for dd....
-i won't let her pee in her travel potty while we're in the driveway and instead make her goin the house

-i won't let her kick her brother, or knock him over

-i also won't let her carry said brother around the house (she's 4, he's 1)

-i make her take a nap when she's overtired and cranky

-i shut off the tv in favor of playing outside

-i told her she couldn't yell at me that i was a "naughty naughty mommy, the naughtiest mommy in the world"

-because dh put an ac in her room, and again because dh took it back out after all the drama over it and put a fan in there instead

-i require dirty laundry to be put in the basket and not thrown in the hallway



for ds....
-i won't let him pull all the dirty cloth diapers out of the pail and play with them

-i put a lock on the entertainment center door so he can't get into it anymore

-another mean mommy who doesn't allow children INSIDE the dishwasher

-i won't let him go shopping thru the pantry and pll everything out

-i make him ride in his carseat

-i won't let him stand on the changing table

-i won't let him climb on top of his riding toys and stand on them to reach things even higher up

-also goes for climbing n the kid's sized picnic table my grandfather made for the kids

-because there is almost no milk left for him when he nurses due to pg hormones . this only seems to irritate him at bedtime though because he nurses just fine the rest of the time

[ohiomommy1122]

today my kids think I am a horrible mom because:
- I made them play outside on a nice sunny day (only 84 degrees)
- I wouldnt let them in the house every 5 min for a drink
-I made oldest DS watch 2 yr old Ds in the store
- I wouldnt let 2 yr old throw bars of soap off the rack then stack them like blocks
- I wouldnt let 2 yr old DS stand up in the cart
- I wouldnt push my 4 yr old on the swing after she demanded that I do it

the list could go on all day but I do so love this thread!

Today:

• I prevented him from stealing another boy's toys.
• I ate a jelly bean in front of him (we were in the car and I thought he was sleeping) (ooh, that reminds me, I have more jelly beans and he's out with Ap'a and Grandma... MUAHAHAHA).
• I talked on the phone to our realtor and wouldn't let him say "hi."
• I sang in the car.
• I stopped singing in the car (five minutes after I was a horrible parent for singing in the car).
• I made him wear underwear and shorts on the pontoon boat with Ap'a and Grandma. Apparently bare-@$$sed is the ONLY way to boat these days.

Mind you, he slept for like two hours of our three-and-a-half-hour car ride, and has been out on the boat with my parents for the past hour, so I accomplished all this evil-doing in a fairly short span of time.

- I tried to comfort him when he was upset.

.

They see you when they're sleeping. AJ was crashed out at the zoo on Saturday, and my mom watched him while I went to go get drinks and a snack. As soon as we started eating the onion rings (yum!) he was WIDE awake...lol

[JD5351]

Oh, and I was mean and awful today because I wouldn't let AJ close the dryer door because I wasn't done putting clothes in there yet. lol

AHA! Another mean dryer-using Mommy!

[Theoretica]

Because Ice Cream does NOT equal Body Paint.

Because sitting on my 9 month pregnant belly is not acceptable.

Because 'talking with your butt' and making it say "I gotta poooooooooooooop" is only funny the first 200 times.

Yeah..I would have been cool with him closing the dryer door if he would have just let me throw the last handful in. LOL He slammed it shut, then screamed at me and pushed my hand away when I tried to open it back up. LOL

[Jenivere]

She is 17 months:

I said in a calm voice, don't bite me.
I don't let her climb on the kitchen table.
I shut the door while I was taking a bath.
I walked 5 feet away from her.
I didn't follow her.
I took something from her for example the marker she was eating, the sharp pair of scissors she found, the questionable something she picked up off he ground and put in her mouth...
I didn't put her in the tree and stand there holding her to keep her from falling because I was in the middle of doing something else or because I'd already done it multiple times.

[AKislandgirl]

Not only do I change her diaper but I dare to wipe her runny nose!
I didn't stop what I was doing the milasecond she asked to nurse
I make her sit in the car seat in the car
I didn't let her crawl around in the poopy chicken coop

I'm pretty mean!
