- Somedays I let my son watch TV pretty much all day! - Sometimes it's the only way for us both to get through the day in one piece.
- There are random days when my children don't eat a single vegetable! - Of cause unless you count the slice of gerkin in a McDonalds cheeseburger.
- I sometimes leave my children in a smelly nappy for a little bit longer than prehaps I should - just trying to space out the nappy changes a bit, especially the first one in the morning, no one wants that to be the first thing they see/smell every day.
- I'm not a fan of the baby stage, there I said it! - They just lay there and dribble and poo. Children are much more exciting when they can actually interact with you.
- I use bribery a lot! - I'm not a fan of full blown melt downs in public and if a promise of a chocoloate biscuit is going to get me out of it then that is what I'll do.
- I often forget to wash the kids hands before eating! - Well they need to build up their immunities don't they?
- I don't let the children in our living room at all! - It is our room, a toy free zone, our little haven of straight cushions and beautiful breakable possessions. We are allowed one room aren't we?
- I don't have locks on all the cupboards in the kitchen! - After the hubby ripped off one of the doors in frustaration from not being able to get into it, we kind of gave up on the idea.
- Occasionally I have days where I pine for my previous 'young, free and single days' and then spend the rest of the day feeling guilty about even thinking it.
- I have a potty mouth and sometimes let an obscenity slip out infront of the little ones.
- Most days I forget to brush the kids teeth after breakfast - I always remember to do it when they go to bed it's just the morning one that gets by me.
What about you then, any secret confessions about your parenting skills or lack of them?
Thank god I'm not the only one!!! I confess to 8 of the above confessions lol. Loving your blog, great start!! I am just starting an anonymous blog too. I had a not so anonymous blog, but held back on certain things as I was worried about who would read it. I look forward to reading your posts :-)
