Hellobee Boards

@lisa1783: my LO is obsessed with this song and video too!!!

@Smurfette: I'm lazy and put my son in the shower. It entertains him and less work for mommy.

You all are awesome - I think I snorted Pepsi at one point reading this thread.

I hate giving my kids baths and try to do it as little as possible.
TV is on right now. I justify it because it is Sid the Science kid and (maybe) they're learning something.
I don't play with my kids nearly as much as I should.
I don't like to let my kids play in the yard because we don't have a fence and I would have to sit out there with them. Well, and my FIL lets his dog poop back there and I don't want to clean up dog poop off their shoes.

I love all of these! We do a lot that people have already mentioned, though unlike you all who give baths as little as possible, I mostly give my LO a bath when I need to kill time between dinner and bedtime.

@Mamasig: I give my LO her paci back when she drips it at the store too. I had one lay comment & I just kinda dead panned her & she shut up. lol its immune building

@yoursilverlining: my kid is eating mcdonalds and I'm hiding in the bathroom while my husband holds a screaming baby because she hates everyone but me but good lord mamas gotta poop.

I just realized that I haven't changed LO'S diaper since about 2 pm & it's now 630.....whoops! Good thing daddy is giving her a bath!

Guys. No one is shitty. This all sounds pretty normal to me.... So we aren't someone else's definition of perfect all the time? Who cares?! Is the kid happy? Then you're doing great. A happy parent makes for a happy kid right?

Haha! I this thread!

I've done lots of the things listed. My child thinks cheerios are their own food group, like you get your fruit, veggies, meat, and cheerios!

She loves Daniel tiger so much that it calms her down when I sing the theme song while she is having to get her blood drawn. I know when Dh watches her it is on repeat all day long. We have a playpen so I don't have to babyproof just yet.

I'm so in
I've had the tv on since Lo came home from the hospital. I don't even leave children's shows on. I can only take so much of that crap. Lo's watched her fare share of teen mom 2. I've given Motrin/Tylenol for everything and sometimes when I don't even know why she's whining. She had a full on sugary cake for her first birthday. She's had enough puffs in one sitting to substitute an actual meal when I've been out and too busy to drive home for said meal. She's had french fries and chicken nuggets. I don't have the patience to cloth diaper....ever. As long as there is disposables my kids ass's will be in them. I've never nor will I ever spend money to put together a pinterest worthy party. If you can't handle pizza and cake then don't come. I buy plastic toys used off of kijiji for her. I co-slept with her in our bed. I pick her up when she cries. I also gave her a pacifier which I have no plans on removing even though she's one now and I work in dental too. I did CIO and never felt guilt. Guess I'm just a shitty mom!

N loves The Big Bang Theory. (Remember the one where they scare Sheldon and he passed out? N cried until he saw that Sheldon was ok). We are all about screen time when I need him quiet while I am on the phone for work. Thank you PBSKids.org.
-N has had way more candy then I am comfortable admitting.
- We co-slept with him until I was too pregnant with E to be comfortable.
- We co-bed with E and lie to his doctor about it. I don't need the lecture.
- I am so crazy wack-a-doodle according to my family because I am still breastfeeding E at nearly 9 months old.
- N is hopeless attached to his wub, the dentist says it is fine so why worry right?
- If N had it his way he would survive on raisins and other fruit, and to be honest some days just aren't worth the fight.
- N can knock back the sweet tea. He had a balm while we visited Dh's family over the summer in Texas.

Oh the list goes on and on but at the end of the day the boys are happy, alive , no worse for wear , and loved that's all that really matters right?

Not shitty, just realistic. And I really don't care what others think about my parenting, nor do I care what they do in theirs, we make decisions based on what works for us

I'm so proud, yesterday he mimicked my, "OH SHIT!" It was cute and I laughed so hard.
It's 11pm, he JUST went to bed, usually it's the baby still up.
I never followed any of the ridiculous pregnancy rules.
We circumcised both and I'd do it again.
I refuse to cloth diaper, because I'm lazy and hate laundry.
He steals my coffee regularly, I don't stop him. He also calls it "Nook" (milk).

She loves Burger King's fries and nuggets (it would be McD's if there was one nearby). She has a Netflix account. She still co-sleeps with us and gets a bottle before bed at 2 y 4 m old!

I do many of the things on this thread. But I'm just gonna say this: I don't think they make me a shitty mom.

Our kids are happy, healthy, fed, clothed, loved. Truly shitty moms can't say this. Nor do they care enough to analyze their relative shittiness

So I say you are not shitty, my friends. You are The Shit.

@BandDmommy: Us too! Well, L didn't get "kicked out of daycare" technically, but we did elect to leave b/c they were like, um, we can't stop your kid's biting so we're going to have him sit in a feeding chair all day. UM, NO. And we tried everrrrryyyyyyttthhhiiiinnnnngggggg.

We circumcised, too.

L watches a lot of Daniel Tiger. Some days it's very much needed. He also enjoyed a lot of halloweeen candy. Actually, candy was pretty much his dinner on Halloween. Whatevs, it's not going to kill him.

Our aquarium/zoo is Bass Pro Shops. At least most of you are looking at LIVE animals...

We were just having a shitty mom convo at work, and I told my coworker she wasn't a shitty mom--she is raising strong, resilient children. My boss told her she was raising the kind of kids that won't get beat up.

My first is due in a few months, but I laughed at the idea of cloth diapering, chose Playtex drop-ins for the convenience, will not use a wipes warmer. I have no intentions of sterilizing anything, will circumsize without researching, have registered for 4 kinds of pacifiers. It's called survival.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: No, it's called Zombie Island. It takes up far more of my time than it actually should. hahaha

@hellobeeboston: Well said and so true. I don't think any of these things make us shitty. I think they make us NORMAL.

@Mrs. Yoyo: We are all The Shit, I agree.
