Just two days ago I spent the afternoon soaking up the sun on my porch, which only means one thing. Spring is on its way! And if that’s not reason enough to celebrate, how about a game of “You Might Feel Like A Bad Mommy If . . .”? This past month my life has graciously provided me with a plethora of these moments.
Lucky me.
Now, it’s time to get started. As usual, guilt is the name of the game. Feel free to play along.
You might feel like a bad mommy if, in an attempt to limit your kids online time, you install the hour restrictions on your internet access. And…promptly screw up the system, so NO ONE has access—including the parents *sob*—for a full three hours.
You might feel like a bad mommy if, while waiting for you son’s band concert to start and fighting off a pending migraine, you choose to wait outside the auditorium until it’s your son’s turn to play. All in an effort to spare yourself the pain of twenty beginner versions of Hot Cross Buns.
Do YOU have any bad mommy moment’s to share? Just click on the number by the title to leave a comment.
You know, I can’t think of any bad mommy moments right now. Just wanted to stop by and say ‘hi.’ It’s been so long since I’ve been here!
Love the moments, Aimee. Tho’ I’d probably do the same.

Aimee! Oh my God, I was laughing but that’s terrible. Don’t you hate when their punishments become yours?
Here’s mine: You might feel like a bad mommy if…your son gets the wicked virus from hell and wants to cuddle. So you wrap towels around yourself and sure enough, he opens his mouth right over you and spits out vomit. So, in a panic, you push him off the chair away from you in a terrible reaction and he falls on the carpet as he keeps getting sick. So, you grab him and drag him to the bathroom because all you can see is hours of clean up. Sigh.
So GREAT to hear from you, Abbi!! And I’m glad you don’t have any bad mommy moments to share LOL. That’s actually a GOOD thing : )
Oops, I did it AGAIN! Abbi, that was my comment, not Jen’s.
And Jen,I’m your super not-so-secret stalker, who is constantly pretending to be you. Nothing worse then kid puke. Except for maybe dog puke. Hugs! Hope kidlets are better soon.
LOL, love the stalker! And BTW, after my son threw up all over me, MY DOG threw up all over. Sympathy pains? Either way, what a night!
Sending you some Febreeze vibes
…your busy changing one child (2months old) and the other (15 month old) get into the lotion and has it EVERYWHERE… maybe one day I’ll post the pics on my blog
*new follower*
Yay, Jere!! Welcome to our world!! It gets so crazy, doesn’t it? Mine got into the suntan lotion and guess what? It’s frikkin waterproof! So a bath didn’t take it off…total nightmare…hang in!!! Please post the pics so I can take a look!
Welcome Jere!
I remember one time while I was changing my son, my oldest daughter – probably around four at the time – got a hold of the Desitin and smeared it all over her face. Do you know how hard it is to get Desitin off? Yikes!
Now for a bad mommy moment – which has been ongoing of late. My oldest is home from college and floundering a bit. Looking for work…deciding what she wants to do…considering returning to school. She needs direction and guidance and while I’m trying to be there for her, I’m not doing near enough…because I’m on deadline…again. And fighting the age old battle between work vs. my family responsibilities.
LOL I always love hearing the bad mommy moments. I love the company.
For me, one thing that comes to mind is we are in the process of moving and I did such a good job packing one night…..that the next morning, I realized my son didn’t have any clothes to wear to school. 8-/
Jere! Hard to be everywhere at once, isn’t it?! LOL Thanks for stopping by!
Jen – waterproof suntan lotion . . . eeek!
Oooh, Wendy, BIG hugs. That is one dilemma that NEVER goes away. Probably the source of 80% of my bad mommy moments.
Optimistic Mom – Too bad naked isn’t acceptable, eh? Just think, no laundry! LOL. Thanks so much for stopping by. We love your company!!
Hi all,
I love reading all your badmommy moments. It makes me feel like I’m not alone. Here’s mine:
You might feel like a bad mommy if…you invite your teenage son to go to a movie with you and your husband on date night and he actually accepts (which he NEVER does) but when you arrive at the theater you discover the show is only in 3-D. Since you HATE 3-D you cancel the movie and instead take your son on a ride along for bank, post office, etc. errands before dropping him off at home.
You feel so guilty that as he gets out of the car you slip him a few bucks to take his girlfriend back to the same movie.
LOL. Oh, I’m so with you on the hating of 3-D movies. They give me such a headache and they add ZERO to the telling of the story. 3-D always makes the movies experience worse for me. My kids don’t mind, though.
Thanks for stopping by, Regina!!
Hehe I see that you are doing good buddy, lot’s of good articles. It would be good for you if you could invest in some ads you know, your Google rankings would be better probably. If your budget is tight, try to find other blog owners in similar niches and exchange links. Your blog looks like something that can do it big, it would be a shame if the people don’t see it
Have a nice day
