I had a terrible mom day. Kids ran roughshod over me; I fed them noodles out of a box for dinner; I gave up on baths and then yelled at them when they were still awake at 9. I suck. I totally completely suck. They will hate me when they're adults. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

don't be so hard on yourself. kids can be huge turds sometimes, we shouldn't be expected to deal with them graciously 24/7. [ Reply | More

They won't hate you. They'll laugh at you. "Remember when mom fed us noodles and then blew a gasket when we wouldn't go to bed? Hilarious!!" [ Reply | More

I feel the same guilt all the time. But they won't hate you (that is both wonderful and sad at the same time). I just keep trying to remind myself to spend time laughing with them as much as possible--that hides an abundance of sins. [ Reply | More

Let's see if I can make you feel better by attracting some flames. Tonight older DD was farting up a storm. While I was singing younger DD to sleep I changed some of the words of the lullabys to "sister farting." Older DD got all bent out of shape, and younger DD and I had a big laugh at her expense.

While its funny, it is a very quick leap to see how your dcs will think its A-OK to mock their peers. I do some bad mom stuff, but I wouldn't do this. [ Reply | More

LOL - I thought the same thing. Pasta is a staple out our house. Should I be making the pasta from scratch? LOL [ Reply | More

I know plenty of people whose moms yelled at them a lot growing up. But they also loved them and were there for them for the important things. And you know what? As adults, they still love their moms and are close to them. As long as you're really trying, your kids will know it, and they will forgive you your bad days just like you forgive them theirs.

the only thing that sounds even remotely bad about that is yelling at them. Other than that, not a big deal IMO. You are far from terrible! [ Reply | More

OK, there is nothing wrong with noodles + no bath. Nothing! You're doing great; all parents blow fuses sometimes. Tomorrow will be better. Go, mom! Go! You're fine! [ Reply | More

I just spent a glorious four days at the beach with my kids where we all were happy as clams and then we got back home to the same old/same old and by the end of yesterday I had lost my mind no fewer than five times on them. They don't have college funds; they have therapy funds. It happens. [ Reply | More
