I had finished it so I thought it was fine. Then I remembered I'd left the tea bag in it so she was sucking tea through the bag :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635662 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:41:26 +0000 Mommy Finger 1635662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is forever thinking it's hilarious to give DS his beer bottle to hold or suck on. Even the time where DS puked in said beer doesn't deter him.</p> <p>DS loves zucchini but only the frozen kind. Doesn't like it when I make it fresh. I tend to feed him the same things for dinner over and over again. I rationalize it that he eats a lot of really good organic food at daycare so I don't have to worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635606 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:27:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 1635606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: HAHAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635545 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:06:16 +0000 swurlygurl 1635545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Oh geez - I'm bad about this! I'm solo parenting for the week, and freaking exhausted. We were at the grocery store last night and L freaks out for dinner as soon as we leave daycare, so I thought ahead to bring some cuties with me for her to snack on. Girlfriend would NOT stop dropping them on the floor, and then would freak out about it. So, she got orange slices off the grocery store floor multiple times that trip... I was in no mood to deal with it :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635497 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:55:39 +0000 polkadots 1635497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 38 weeks pregnant with a 2.5 year old. we've been watching frozen more than I should admit! frozen= an hour and 15 minutes of getting things done or snuggling on the couch. :-\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635443 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:45:54 +0000 blackbird 1635443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nursemommy, welcome to da club!!!!!!!! </p> <p>And yeah, DH once sent me a photo of E with an empty beer bottle, totally chug style. She's also obsessed with water bottles, so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635422 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:39:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 1635422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was my night for bath last night and I was no in the mood, so after she was all washed I said "do you want a cookie, but we have to get out first." And of course she did, so instead of playing longer in the water like I would normally let her, she ate a cookie on the couch while I sat next to her and relaxed. Not winning mom of the year over here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635345 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:22:41 +0000 Charm54 1635345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave dd a mum-mum to eat on the car ride home yesterday so she wouldn't fall asleep in the car and I could relax during her nap at home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635331 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:18:45 +0000 Smurfette 1635331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: R has grabbed beer bottles numerous times from us.

I realized I was being a bad mom and ended up stopping him, but then immediately regretted not getting photo evidence. Mom of the year right here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1635055 Thu, 15 May 2014 06:11:09 +0000 SweetMamaM 1635055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my three month old watch the tail end of a Friends episode and the beginning of the sports news so that I could get dinner prep out of the way... Hate doing it but the kid craves constant stimulation. I kept popping back over and talking to him and figured that as long as he was more interested in me than the TV, it was okay :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634986 Thu, 15 May 2014 00:19:01 +0000 NurseMommy 1634986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm enjoying being back at work. I feel so guilty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634919 Wed, 14 May 2014 22:31:29 +0000 Lindsay05 1634919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I often tell LO we can watch bubble guppies if she cleans up her toys. When really i just need a break plus dont want to clean up. Its amazing how well it works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634875 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:30:52 +0000 MoonMoon 1634875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was just me and LO today, and my husband had to take my car, so we couldn't drive anywhere, and the stroller and all 3 pairs of his shoes were in the car, so we couldn't walk anywhere!</p> <p>Out of desperation, I found Barney on the TV and put it on. :meh: fortunately, it only caught his attention for about 5 minutes, but man! Barney! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634864 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:26:21 +0000 .twist. 1634864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: haha I have done that! OMG GET THE CAMERA! no wait... Save the baby... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634862 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:25:32 +0000 loveisstrange 1634862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were sitting in a restaurant with a tired, fussy two year old tonight eating with my mom... and I loudly called a lady at the next table who was glaring at us a nosy bitch for doing so.</p> <p>She's 2. Shit happens and we were making an effort to calm her down. I got to a point where there were zero fucks to be given... and I have always sworn Id never be the parent with the noisy kid in the restaurant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634859 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:24:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 1634859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: @.twist.: E has grabbed an almost empty beer bottle and licked the rim...and for a split second I think "shoot, where's my camera?" and then "shit, bad parenting decision..."</p> <p>Latest? Hmm. E had Wendy's chicken nuggets for dinner and didn't touch the apple slices or the frozen, steam-bag broccoli I added. I guess my confession is that I shrugged it off in an "oh well" sort of way. Poor kid's been sick, and I'm just happy he's eating SOMETHING...I'm not going to fight him too hard on what it is... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634850 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:21:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 1634850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Dh definitely let c lick his beer bottle. I was more worried about the glass than any trace amount of beer. </p> <p>Glad I'm not the only (lazy) mommy jungle gym. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634844 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:17:39 +0000 .twist. 1634844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: did that yesterday! LOL</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: Nomnom! ;) I almost voluntarily let L lick my beer bottle the other day and then was like OMG! You can't let your baby lick beer off things!!!" So, at least you didn't just offer the wine up...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634810 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:01:17 +0000 cascademom 1634810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Ohh, glad I'm not alone. My DH jokes about how we use peer pressure to get him to do things. </p> <p>@Corduroy: I buy frozen veggies, put them in a custard cup with some water, and heat it in the microwave. It's how I've been doing veggies for the longest time. For DH and I, I use a microwave steamer or the frozen veggie steam bags for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634807 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:59:11 +0000 Weagle 1634807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Oh, I convince LO to do a lot of things by telling her that one of her friends does it. It's especially effective if I tell her she needs to eat her food because "best friend" really loves that particular food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634799 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:56:16 +0000 Corduroy 1634799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The daycare LO goes to makes lots of fresh healthy food. Today they were thrilled to discover LO likes beans. They asked me what recipes I use. I lied and said I boil them. I just give her canned beans. Maybe I'll start making them on my own out of shame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634780 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:44:21 +0000 cascademom 1634780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I serve my LO dinner a la carte often. If I'm solo, I'll have him start with yogurt by himself in the high chair while I get the plate ready. It keeps him from being underfoot and whiny while I get it ready.</p> <p>I don't know if this is truly a mom confession, but the only way I've been able to convince LO to brush his teeth is by telling him that Elmo does it. It's okay to brush your teeth if Elmo does it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634775 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:42:29 +0000 blackbird 1634775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LMW has excellent taste :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634763 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:33:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 1634763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LMW may have gotten her first taste of wine. We came in the house and she picked up the cup Wagon Sr. had left out the night before after he finished his wine. He claims it was empty, but she was smacking her lips.. When I grabbed it, it was empty and dry so I think she got a drop. It was a sweet moscato. Worst parents ever. She's not even 2 yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634752 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:30:35 +0000 Boheme 1634752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C was being sooooo fussy before I even had dinner finished, so he ate a random mix of string cheese, clementines, and Ritz crackers. I just kept throwing stuff to him so I could get dinner on the table during DH's 30 minute dinner break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634746 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:26:12 +0000 blackbird 1634746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People don't serve food off the floor? I totally do that. She throws it? i pick it up and re-serve it. Whatever. </p> <p>I also laid on the floor and let E climb all over me, poke at my belly button, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/latest-parenting-confession#post-1634701 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:06:43 +0000 Smurfette 1634701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I do that all the time. But I don't feel bad cause R loves climbing over me. </p>
