Top Ten reasons why I’m a bad mom

by Jodifur on February 21, 2007

10. That 1 hour a day TV rule has completely gone out the window on some days.
9. There are days were I count down to bedtime, which is at 7:00 pm. And some of these days are days I have worked and only seen Michael for a few hours. Shouldn't I want to put him to bed later so I can spend more time with him?
8. There are days I think, what if we had waited a little longer, would we have been able to go to Tuscany first?
7. The amount of wine I consume on a weekly basis.
6. I have not started, nor even thought about, potty training.
5. I do not make Michael wash his hands before eating.
4. I yell, too much.
3. We have already talked about this one, but we do not eat dinner together. (In all fairness, lately Michael has not really been eating dinner.)
2. I sometimes forget to take his coat off before putting him in the car seat.
And the number one reason I am a bad Mom-
This weekend I am going away with my girlfriends to a spa. No husbands, no kids. And I am so looking forward to it.

Bad schmad! You’re just normal. (Says one mental patient to another.) :)

I would not even think twice about going to spa! It’s funny because today a friend of mine was talking about her MIL who’s a famous lactation consultant and I mentioned that she would hate me because I formula feed…I use pacifiers…I had 2 c-sections…I gave my 8 month old a pork dumpling today that was served at my friend’s Chinese New Year’s party…I’m surprised I haven’t already gotten a certificate for the worst mom ever in the mail!
