Things I should probably feel guilty about (but don't)
Filed under: Babies, Toddlers Preschoolers
Having literally eighteen months' worth of adorable kid moments captured by video. Still on the digital camcorder.
Laughing at the baby when he throws a full-fledged tantrum over being dressed in pajamas. So angry!
Not having taken my nearly-3-year-old to the dentist yet. And based on his reaction to the pediatrician's office this week (where he wasn't even being EXAMINED, OH MY GOD), planning to eventually fob off this duty on his father.
Never giving any serious consideration to cloth diapers.
Having given up on worrying about the nutritional content of my toddler's meals, and generally just hoping that something with calories makes its way to his belly a few times a day. ANYTHING with calories.
Hoping both children do all their pooping for the day at daycare.
Zerberting the baby's belly right before naptime, even though it makes him shrieky and giggly and generally sort of insane.
Telling my kid the TV's broken sometimes.
Occasionally providing my own spin on our bedtime stories: "And then the caterpillar smoked a nice big green leaf and he was soooo hungry, he ate through one bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, one piece of pepperoni pizza, one box of Junior Mints, one can of Mountain Dew, and one peanut-butter-and-pretzel sandwich!"
Sending the toddler running back and forth between his father and I in order to deliver vaguely dirty messages. "Mommy, Daddy says he has a BIG HOT DOG for your MOUTH!"
(Got any of your own to share?)

Jenn said...This was my first time on this blog..I read some of Linda's other posts and thought they were funny..this one, not too much..just my opinion..I really think both sides should chill..I see a lot of comments really being negative to those that were not crazy about the post..if you are open minded..you should be open-minded that people have different opinions too..just because I do not agree with someones joke or what they do, does not make me a prude or less open-minded..if you thought what Linda said was the funniest thing you have ever heard..well, great, that is your opinion..I have mine.. do not judge or hate on me for that.. I think some of the comments to the moms who did not like what Linda wrote were not too friendly or open-minded in tone.. if you do not agree - you are the prude, if you do, then you are cool. I am in-between on this one...but I was not crazy about what she wrote..I actually thought the stoned caterpillar was worse..this is respectfully, my opinion..let's all have the right to have those too.
