The other night I was feeding my jetlagged kids and they fell asleep on the couch. In the morning, my daughter woke up and started chewing something... turned out, she had slept all night with food in her mouth!! I just about had a heart attack thinking about how she could've choked in her sleep... ugh, lesson learned.
What's your latest parenting fail?

DS woke up early into his nap and I let him cry for about 10 min and he fell back to sleep. When he woke up (2.5 hrs later) I realized he had thrown up all over himself, his crib, his stuffed animals. I felt terrible!

My LO has been on her reflux meds for less than 2 weeks and I spilled all but one dose all over the floor tonight. Then I accidentally pinched her when putting her in her highchair. I'm really killing it over here

@twodoghouse: oh poor blake 
For some reason vomit is really hard to see on our monitor and the first time she did that it took me a good 10 min to go in there to check on why she wasn't going to sleep. It was before she could roll well and she was laying there with her face in puke. *heartbreak*
My whole day today was a fail. LO is teething and also has a cold and we were both in a mood.

@twodoghouse: @Mae: lucky for us vomit actually shows up really well on our monitor. But it still got everywhere the one time she did it in her crib.
This isn't that recent but still makes me feel awful. After a long drive, it had started raining as I was getting from one highway to another and I was really stressed and C just started screaming. I tried to calm her nicely but ended up really screaming back at her to be quiet. When I went to get her out of the car seat I saw she had thrown up all over herself, probably when she was screaming. I felt so so bad.
Can't think of anything that recent but they're there.

N is sick from cross contamination from play-doh at speech. It didn't even dawn on me until after the appointment. Celiac mom fail.

Tonight during dinner our dogs started growling and snarling at each other, near LO's feet (they occasionally get possessive of food they hope he will drop). I was nervous that they would snap or fight, so I yelled at the dogs loudly and in the process really scared DS.
I also fed him a smoothie and muffins (both homemade if that makes it any better) for dinner because I couldn't deal with the melt down that comes with offering him normal dinner food.

My LO told me she had to pee during her time out. I didn't believe her. I was wrong.

Ugh I was in the kitchen this morning when M tried to get up from the dining room table. She fell back in her chair and bruised her ear. She was more scared than hurt and i know it could have been a lot worse.

Well, it's 9:45 pm and my 6 month old is still awake. It started with a bad first nap, then a too long second nap. I had to wake him up to leave for an appointment. Then he fell asleep in the car on the way home at 6 pm and slept til I woke him at 7:30!

Mine is pretty bad..
I let my 1.5 yo son out of my sight and he went into our fourplex's parking lot.
I had told him to close the door and instead of closing it from inside the complex where we were he went out to the Parking lot area and closed it. I assumed he closed it from inside and when I looked 30sec later he was gone. Of course I rush out an he's standing there.. A concerned man came out of his car and I'm so grateful he noticed him!!
It's a small parking lot and people drive really slow but I feel incredibly horrible thinking about what could have happened. Thank God nothing did. Yes I am an irresponsible and neglectful mom
