Re: any Mommy confessions?
Yeah, me too. I don't get the issue, lol. Or the issue with moist. Moist can be a good thing, like cake.
My mildly amusing, also potentially controversial (with a handful of people) anecdote; I have passed on my dislike of spiders to my son. In order to work past our issues, I told my son that a spider hanging out in our bathroom was our pet, and his name was Rex. For several days, Rex hung out in the corner. We'd say hi to him- life was peachy us and Rex. Out of curiosity- I googled to find out what kind of spider Rex was.
Rex was a Yellow Sac spider. They deliver painful bites that while don't lead to necrosis, are poisonous. Rex met his doom with the vacuum five minutes later. I told Aidan we set him free. I killed his"pet" and lied about it. Pray that Rex didn't lay any eggs in my bathroom, because I will be committing more arachnicide.
Me too! I dumbed mine down obviously. I posted a few in the flameful confession thread and got flamed which is fine by me...whatever, but yeah I would not put it past someone to sit here and call DYFS if something offended them as much.
And since I put it out there that I loathe the term playdate I am sure it will be used more often around here. Oh well that's what I get! ;o)

The Stephanie Song...click here to listen!
Well I'm a Stepmom and it was my Stepson's 30th birthday on the 10th....and H and I both forgot it until about 5 pm that day ( he does not live with us) OOPS. We called him as soon as we knew he was home from work.
I know he's not a kid but I still feel really bad that we BOTH forgot.
We went to a party Saturday night. We brought my son. At 12:30 am he was running around eating red velvet cake and drinking orange soda. We left at 2 and my son was still high. A part of me felt bad but my mother told me that Spanish people take their kids everywhere & we spent many Saturday's sleeping on a pile of coats at someone's house. Hahaha
Ok, after reading everyone's post, I think is really really bad.
Last night i couldn't find my phone, and asked DH. He said "Did you look in your butt?" (yeah we're 12).
My 4 year old heard it, cracks up, hysterical, and goes "Yeah mom, check your hiney! I bet daddy put that big thing right up your butt!"
oh.my.god. like that wasn't bad enough, a little while later she goes "Mommy, Daddy was being really silly, I can't wait til Mimzy comes over tomorrow to babysit me, i'm going to tell her all about Daddy putting it up your butt." I need that thing from Men in Black to just erase her memory.
That wasn't really a confession on my part, but whatever. I'm on vicodin and it makes me really queasy and irritated, so I've been spending the last 2 days on the couch trying to convince the kids to play quietly. We've done absolutely nothing.
my DD thinks she doesn't like soda so sub in "juice box" but we bring the kids to parties and they're up until they crash. it's not like it's a school night, or every weekend. they have plenty of time at home with a routine. they have fun, it's not like they're miserable and begging to go home and i'm like "mommy needs 2 more shots first"
OMG, your mom is right! I remember this!! We used to think this was sooooo much fun!! I remember getting to the parties and we would find the other kids at the party and would not see our parents until it was time to go. They might tell us to go get food but they did not serve us, cut up our food in tiny pieces so we would not choke, make sure we had a healthy portion of each food group and that our beverage of choice was milk or water. Man, they would totally be considered shiitty parents by this boards standards! LOL
Good, I'm not the only one then. I have friends who would never take their kids off their schedule, not matter what day it is, even on vacation -- I'm sure a lot of people here too, lol.
I guess no matter how hard I try, I always revert back to my roots, LOL!!!
