Aw, you're not alone. Our recent "fail" was deciding to a family-only birthday 3rd birthday party for DD. I figured we could still get away with not inviting preschool friends this year since she's still young. Within the 2 weeks before and after her birthday, we then received invites to 5 other birthday parties from kids in her class. Oops.

Not exactly the same, but just after pulling a dresser drawer out on himself, DS almost stuck a screwdriver in an outlet. We just bought lots of sliding outlet covers....

So many fails. DD recently fell out of bed while cosleeping and walked around with a bruise on her face for a week.

As for DS, he fell on his face at a birthday party, and I was busy with DD and sent DH to console him... apparently he wanted mommy, so he flipped out even more and they both threw a mantrum. Then I had to get them both calmed down. Party ruined.

I've also broken DS's favorite pencil sharpener because it was on the floor and I picked it up 20 times that week, but the 21st time I didn't see it and stepped on it.

Balancing toddler activities and schedules and baby two nap schedules is still a big struggle for me. Toddler has a class during baby's naptime on Mondays, so instead of putting baby down as soon as we got home, I tried to have her power through until afternoon nap so she would take a really good one. Nope- less than an hour. Managed to nurse her back to sleep, only to wake her up by accident when I looked at the monitor at her big sister (who was still asleep). It was a long afternoon.

@avivoca: my baby is 10 months old and I still majorly struggle with this. She can be really annoying, but she's 3. I'm the adult who chose to have another baby. It's so hard!

My 9 month old had a double ear infection for several days and I was crabby with her because she was so cranky. I wouldn't have even known if she didn't have her wellness check scheduled. Those poor eardrums would've burst!

I called my 4 year old a butthole last night because he wouldn't stop arguing with me. A serious low point as a parent.

This was two months ago. LO is wearing huge uniforms to school because she is so petite. The XS fit fine but the Small size hangs on her like a dress. I didn't realize until we got to the store that she was wearing no !! Yah, afterschool she just slips off her shorts and plays around the house in just her shirt. I guess I thought she had shorts on under there. I didn't drive back home and just stuck her in the cart in her long shirt and covered her with my jacket like a blanket!! That was the funniest fail we have had around here.

@Foodnerd81: I have a sailor's mouth. My husband said he was surprised I chose something as tame as butthole. I'm sorry your baby's eardrum burst! Thanks for sharing, it makes me feel more normal!
