MommaK over at Petroville thinks she’s a bad mom. I beg to differ. I’ll share my story to make her feel better, and to prove to you all that I’m not perfect. Once and for all.
Here’s how my story goes:
We (me, with my girls in the back seat) were on our way home from McD’s, because I do so enjoy their yummy nutritious food. Our McD’s is located on a frontage road near an intersection where there is a wreck every. single. day. I am terrified of that intersection.
So. We’re sitting at the frontage road to turn left into traffic, about 75 feet from the cursed intersection. A Ford Explorer with tinted windows pulls up beside me on my right, and of course now I must wait until he goes before I can edge out any further.
I’m a cussing driver, I’m always talking to other drivers. Of course I say “Move your dam^ truck, I can’t see through it you dumba$$!”
My Chickeymonkey, at three years old, from her carseat in the back, says “Who’s the dumba$$, mom?” In her littlest and most curious voice.
Granted I wasn’t in front of a bunch of people, but still, just as embarrassing. I think.

Thank you Leanne! I do feel better:lol: Now you just have to hope your daughter does not call her preschool teacher a dumbass!
We were warned, during our BTSN, that if your child were to repeat anything questionable in school that they are required by law to report it.
😳 😆
I think my kids heard “the words” so much, they lost their novelty…
What’s wrong with that? 😯
OK, I’ll jump in too. But only because all four of my kids are adults now and have turned out OK.
So – My bad mommy incidents – well OK, the most glaring ones – were these:
a.) I let my son go to school one morning and an hour later the school called to announce that he had chicken pox. Ooops, maybe I didn’t really LOOK at him that day.
b.) I was running the cheerleader parent’s snack bar at an after school basketball game and I totally forgot to leave when it was time to pick up my youngest daughter from first grade. This was pre-cell phone days so she had to wait in the principal’s office.
Eventually another parent at the snack stand asked where she was & I suddenly wondered that myself – Eeek! I ran out the door to claim her and I’ve never lived it down.
She’s now a college sophomore on the Deans list and he’s a 25 year old USAF serving in Europe, so I guess what I’m telling you young bad mommies that neither of mine are the worse for bad-mommyism & I’ll bet yours will turn out the same. 😳
Leanne, ok reality check here. 1. Your darling three year old was in her carseat. 2. You were aware and being cautious while driving with your children in the car. 3. They were in the car with you. Not home alone. 4. Maybe not nutritous, but they were being fed something they surely enjoy and are fed on a regular basis. 5. You were eating dinner with them, enjoying their company. 6. Your curious daughter has been encouraged to ask questions and isn’t afraid to do so even when mom’s upset. You have beautiful well-behaved, respectful, intelligent and talented daughters. They didn’t get that way by accident. Hugs, clara
Dammit Clara! Silver linings everywhere with you around…
