LO is in a clingy stage. Maybe if I let him cry just once he would realize that I will come right back, but it's hard when starts to cry. </p> <p>Watching TV around him. He plays well while we watch TV, but still it's on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2679010 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 15:18:39 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2679010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Movies in the car. When we got a van with a DVD player I announced movies would only be for long car rides. My definition of a "long car ride" has really shortened and sometimes includes the drive to the grocery store, library, or to school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678975 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:36:46 +0000 MrsBrewer 2678975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 words.

But being home all day I feel like I am losing it if I am just hanging out with the kids all day.<br /> Yelling. And teaching my kid bad words. OK, well not that bad but it took a while to get him to stop saying 'crap'. He now also says 'good grief'<br /> And feeding my baby stuff he probably shouldn't have. But he's so cute eating! I mean a 7 month old with chocolate waffles is adorable. At least they were homemade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678961 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:16:46 +0000 KT326 2678961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yelling too much. It's so frustrating when I ask him to do something multiple times and he just ignores me (he is almost 5). Then I lose my cool. </p> <p>Eating out too much. Cutting back on this now that I'm on maternity leave. Hoping to get some routines in place before I go back to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678947 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:57:00 +0000 LML 2678947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way too much candy. My 2-year-old asks for candy all day long, and I find that when I desperately need him to be occupied, I'm like, "Sure! Here's a bag of gummy bears!" Got to stop doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678938 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:46:36 +0000 Cole 2678938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear all the rules have gone out the window during this pregnancy. I regularly bribe her with chocolate chips to do anything she'd not doing willingly and the screen time is insane right now. I tried to feed her pretzels and a cheese stick for lunch the other day because everything smells awful to me and makes me sick and she screamed "I want food!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678933 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:39:41 +0000 twodoghouse 2678933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much screen time! My New Years resolution is less tv watching for the kids, but my time to read has gone down a lot too, as a result. Letting A have a peanut butter sandwich every time she doesn't want what we are having. Nursing them all night long instead of making them find some other way to get back to sleep (which I don't think is too bad, but I'm also just so freaking tired). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678932 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:37:11 +0000 snowjewelz 2678932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: haha yeah i totally used the whole hour she takes to eat my dinner in peace, then pretty much finish cleaning up and then get her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678930 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:35:26 +0000 Anagram 2678930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: they kinda take a long time to eat, too....but I don't mind because they are trapped in high chairs so I can use that whole 30 minutes to get stuff done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678926 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:30:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2678926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I totally did screen time during meal times for probably a few months! But then it backfired b/c she took forever to finish her food so now we're back to no screen time during meal times and she finishes eating in 20 minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678924 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:29:30 +0000 snowjewelz 2678924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: 14 months is nothing lol! I weaned and kinda came about it by chance just before DD turned 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678918 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:22:28 +0000 Anagram 2678918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being on my phone too much, for sure! Allowing screen time during dinner. I used to be such a stickler about that. I'm already a stickler about screen time in general and usually only allow 1 show/day. But lately, I've been "saving" up that 1 show to be right when I serve dinner to the kids.</p> <p>My husband typically doesn't get home from work till 7, which is too late for their dinner, so I always feed them before he's home. I like to use that time to pack their lunches and backpacks for the next day, and if the show is on, I can do that. If there's no show, I end up needing to sit with them because LO2 will throw food more often, LO1 will be more picky. Basically, it's out of laziness because I can check out from parenting and just do prep--and then all my "work" is done before my husband gets home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678903 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:13:48 +0000 lioneyes 2678903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>screentime/playing on my phone while he watches said screentime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678902 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:12:35 +0000 gentlelunette 2678902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Same here with the veggies. Drives me crazy to constantly serve them and then throw them in the garbage. Every single meal. </p> <p>I'm also guilty of using little bribes/distractions when I know it'll get her to cooperate. I'm hugely pregnant and so over the battle to eat dinner or go upstairs for bath, or get dressed to go to daycare so I'll find little "motivators". Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678852 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:27:59 +0000 wrkbrk 2678852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Hershey's kiss in exchange for not fighting ear drops. And, not giving a rat's behind that he still loves his paci at almost 14 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678826 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:12:29 +0000 irene 2678826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. raising my voice, yelling, losing my temper. all the time. And then I expect DS to not throw tantrums. Sigh. I am really trying to work on it.</p> <p>2. Always looking at the phone and not being in the moment with DS. </p> <p>3. Over the weekend/holidays when I have to work, I ask him to draw with me. And when he is done drawing and started to get bored, and I really had to finish up some stuff, I get impatient and I still made him sit and draw with me instead of leaving what I have in hand and go do something else with him. It is the weekend/day off and I should be a fulltime mommy. It really started over the winter holidays and I need to stop doing that.</p> <p>4. Not taking care of myself, which makes me not able to take good care of and be patient with DS.</p> <p>5. Not wiping his face/mouth after breakfast (so he often has a milk mustache), combing /fixing his hair, tugging his uniform in (as I rely 100% on him on putting on his clothes in the morning while I do something else) and sometimes he leaves the house to go to school looking like he just got out of a tornado. The teachers must be wondering what a great job I am doing. Last week I was at his class for a mommy volunteer thing. I saw all the other kids are tidy and clean and I saw DS and his crazy hair. Oh Gosh, I was embarrassed.</p> <p>6. Stressing out over meals and how much DS eats. All the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678818 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:08:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2678818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: oh yeah K says help you and I keep saying no you say help me but I think I confused her more lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678754 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:27:34 +0000 Silva 2678754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhhh and I buy her little gifts alllll the time.

I feel so guilty about it but on days that I'm tired it gets really bad. Yesterday she had to keep asking me to put it away 😞<br /> Also I'm a totally pushover about treats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678749 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:26:47 +0000 avivoca 2678749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'm also on the phone too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678744 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:25:21 +0000 FaithFertility 2678744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: Ohh man I am guilty of those too!!!!<br /> Hold you = Hold Me<br /> Doc Mit-tuffin......lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678740 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:22:55 +0000 808love 2678740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Guilty.

Yelling way too much- though I'm getting better. </p> <p>@avivoca: I haven't totally given up on vegetables but it's close. I'm tired of preparing things I know she won't eat. Whatever. </p> <p>Oh and in the past few weeks my 3:5 year old has started using the F word, correctly (as in "I made a f*cking mess") which is my fault. And yesterday she was saying "mommy, what's god damn it? God damn it is what you say when you don't listen". Ugh. So guilty of not watching my mouth when I get mad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678729 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:16:52 +0000 FaithFertility 2678729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ohh being a sleep crutch enabler!<br /> I gave up on the fight sleep game!<br /> If you need us we are there, our bed, your bed....rocking to sleep, whatever you need kiddo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678728 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:15:53 +0000 FaithFertility 2678728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: I would love that too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-are-guilty-of#post-2678725 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:14:19 +0000 mrskansas 2678725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has too much screen time.
