My daughters name is Libby and typically I call her Libby LuLu.... One day it came out as "Libby the loser".... I was horrified, my husband was horrified. Basically I bullied my child.
When DS falls asleep in the car, I leave him the garage while I bring in everything and calm the dogs down. I do this in hopes of napping while he naps.
I do lock the door leading outside, just in case. We live in a very safe suburb, but still
When my two year old was a baby, that was how he almost always got his midday nap. He fell asleep in the car and I opened the car door and door to the house so I could hear him. Of course I didn't do it if it was hot, but when you have a baby that screams all day and won't transfer out of the car asleep, you do what you can.
I am so in the baby in the bathroom camp with the exhaust fan putting her to sleep - the rock n play has been living in there for like the last 5 weeks.
This morning dd was in bed with me bc we had a rough night and crapped herself then went to sleep and I let it ride even though she really needed changed bc sleep!!
Mine is dumb but I call her Pumpkin a lot and accidently called her a Blumpkin the other day. DH was like, ummm don't call her that. I was like, it just came out of my mouth wrong. Lol

seamonster - DH bought DS (let's face it, bought ME!) a new mobile motor that goes until you turn it off. Just attach to the same mobile and voila! Twenty minute shower or elliptical? Done! Well worth $9.99 on Amazon!

I so need this. Child loves his mobile and gets mad if I'm not fast enough at getting it going again.

I once bathed DS without cleaning his bum first. When we finished I noticed bits of poo that had sank to the bottom of the bath. I probably should have rebathed LO in clean water, but he was already screaming in his towel and I thought hell no.
While giving DD a bath I was using the sink sprayer to wash her hair. My hand slipped and I sprayed her full on in the face with the water. She was not happy.
I disrupt LO's naps for swim lessons. He's decided that is the time he should sleep if we're in the car and I've become the mom trying to drown her sleepy baby in the name of bonding and playtime. How else is he to become an Olympic swimming champion?

I'm not sure if this makes me a bad mom, or a bad daughter/sibling... but I just whatsapped my family a photo of LO's poosplosion. He usually goes twice a day but hadn't gone in 3 days. It was everywhere. I just... I couldn't... I took him changing pillow and all into the bathroom.

I'm worried about the amount of poop I'm in for also. It's only been about 30 hrs of no poop so far, but he usually goes at least twice a day and I thought those were a lot. I'm not sure I'm prepared.
Am I the only one that doesn't feel that sad when their LO gets shots?? I feel bad that it hurts for like a millisecond but then the baby gets over it.

I totally thought I was going to be chill when DD got her shots, the thought didn't really bother me so much as worrying about how she'd behave for the rest of the day.
When it happened though, I was holding down her arms so I was right there over her face when she started screaming. Something about that particular cry just ripped right into my heart and I started crying. I was fine once DD calmed down, but I was surprised that I cried.

Me. I wish it didn't hurt but I don't feel bad or guilty about it.

No, and I'll raise you one. His cry cracks me up. I guess it shouldn't, but I know he's not in serious/life threatening pain. If I couldn't explain why he was crying like that it would break my heart but... I know it'll end and he'll be safe and happy!
He tries to stay mad at me but I've got the boobs.
we keep forgetting to bathe DS.... but it works out because he usually has explosive poop the day after we had planned to bathe... LOL
I can't remember the last time we bathed the baby. I wipe her down every morning and every evening, so it's not like she's just filthy. Also, how much of a bath could she be needing? Kid doesn't sweat, has no BO... This is totally me trying to make myself feel better. The main issue is that we don't have a baby bathtub, so bathing her is a two person job because of the design of our kitchen sink. And DH is all, "Who bathes a baby?" when I try to wheedle him into helping me. This is the same man who said the morning I was leaving to go to the office for the first time, "It's not like she has a schedule or anything, right?"
*sigh*
Oh, right, bad mom. The other night, I poured myself a nice glass of wine after baby had been down for a solid thirty minutes (she usually sleeps seven hours for the first stretch). She woke up and was fussy, so I settled in on the chair in our bedroom and proceeded to nurse her while watching Scrubs on Netflix. Fifteen minutes later, my husband walked in and said "Well, I'm pretty sure THAT'S not a good idea..." Which is when I realized I was totally sipping away on my wine. While nursing. I blame sleep deprivation and the desperate need to feel like a grown up for even ten minutes a day.

During/immediately after nursing is a recommended time to drink because it'll provide your body the longest amount of time to process the alcohol before baby nurses. Though it looks funny, this is actually a good mom confession!
This isn't a bad mom confession so much as a bad wife confession. I just vacuumed the house for the first time since DD was born. And I only did it because DH tracked dirt in our bedroom. It wasn't even a proper vacuuming, just a quick run through every room to pick up the obvious stuff. Once DD is actually on the floor and roaming I'll keep things cleaner, I promise!

I have done this a couple of times. I drink ONE glass while I feed him right before his bedtime. There have been times this was the only reason he and I are still friends at this point.

I cut LO's finger in the nailbed trying to cut his talons. Oh the screaming and the blood! He's ok now. I think it still hurts but his shots in the morning should distract from the pain and I'm willing to breastfeed him senseless.

In the interest of uping my post count, I was getting in the way of his staring at his Tigger and Pooh wall stickers when I decided that he needed a manicure. He only gets to stare at it at the bihourly diaper changes.
Pooplosion is coming today. It's day 4 and of course we have to be out all day.

DS had a semi-explosion yesterday (had not been long since he pooped so it was random) . it stayed in his pampers (we sized up to a 2 i think this is why) but somehow it was in EVERY POSSIBLE crevice within the diaper. and it was super hard to wipe/clean. then last night he wet thru the RnP. glad im not home LOL
