On the Forums: I'm a Bad Mommy!

Saturday March 22, 2008
When my son was 2 years old and we'd drive by Toys R Us, he'd start wailing in the back seat because he wanted to go look at the toys so bad. Finally, I couldn't take it and I started telling him that they were closed, even though we usually drove by in the afternoon when they were open. OK, I admit it, I was weak. I lied to my kid. Go ahead and call me a bad mommy. I can take it.

Forum member Amber has posted a thread about why she's a bad mommy: "I'm a bad mommy because I trick my son. I put organic fruit snacks in the candy drawer and tell him it's candy, and we call grilled cheese 'grilled cheese pizza' because he loves pizza and it tricks him into eating it."

CamberMS adds, "I'm a bad mommy because I will let Cate sit in her highchair and watch the Doodlebops just so I can do the dishes."

Stop by and read some of the hilarious posts or share why you think you deserve the bad mother of the year award...
